Dear Tally Malik,

Thank you for helping people that are at the end of their lives even though this is happening and it’s a very dangerous thing to be doing at these times. It really helps people and you are very brave to be doing something like this especially when the people that you are working with are the most vulnerable ones to COVID-19.

I am thankful for you working in Hospice because you are helping people that are very old and very sick stay in their homes and not get COVID-19. And for keeping them safe so that they don’t need to go to the hospital even if they are at the end of their lives. And for making room in the hospitals for the people that have COVID-19.

I am thankful for you working in Hospice because you are helping people that are very old and very sick stay in their homes and not get COVID-19.

Thank you for keeping them safe so that they don’t need to go to the hospital even if they are at the end of their lives.

Your hard work allows our community to have more room in the hospitals that do have COVID-19.

You are taking a very big risk of getting sick from taking care of these very old people and you are also taking a risk of your family getting sick if you pass something to them.

Being a fourth grader in quarantine is hard. Especially because my birthday was on April 6th. That was when I turned 10 and I had one of the worst birthdays I could think of. But I feel better when I think of people like you who work hard to help others.

Thank you again for clearing up space in hospitals.

Love,

Amelia

Dear Aunt Jodi,

I am writing to you because you are working very hard on the front lines to take care of your patients. 

So many people are thankful to have you caring for them including me, Grayson, Lily,

Ella, Reese and Rhett, as well as my mom, your brothers and grandma and grandpa.

For example, many people do not have doctors and nurses to care for them right now and are self isolating and recovering at home.

Your hard work allows your community to feel safer and taken care of during this freakishly intense time.

I know I might repeat something in this sentence but you are helping more people than you think.

My experience being quarantined in Connecticut:

Pros: there is a backyard and a desk for me to work at when I am having school.

Cons: even though the river is beautiful, my mom accidentally threw my football in and it died. Another con is that I can’t see anybody so there is no more kickball! 

Thank you again for your love and support.

XOXO,

Cali Jane

Dear Jamie Lawson,

Thank you for taking the dog for a walk every day. I am writing this to you now because you are risking your life by going outside and taking the dog for a walk.

I am really thankful that you don’t make me do it every day because if you wanted to you could make me take the dog for a walk everyday instead of you doing it.                                                                                         

Your hard work allows me/my family to not go outside everyday taking the dog for a walk thanks a lot dad :).

As a 4th grader I don’t like to take the dog for a walk because I like to play video games and because I don’t want to pick up the poops. As a 4th grader I don’t like to be stuck inside and not allowed to go to the park with my friends.

Thank you again for walking the dog. 

Love,

Charlie, a Fourth Grader at LREI

Dear Healthcare Workers of Southampton Hospital,

I am a fourth grader trying to find ways to support healthcare workers, and I figured that this would be a great way!

Thank you for putting the community first instead of yourselves. Without you, lots of lives would be in serious danger and those people would possibly die. You are really doing something amazing for the community.

I am thankful that some people are in hospitals, being treated, not spreading the virus. I know you Healthcare Workers are behind some of this.

I know this must be really hard, working many hours and being away from home for so long.

I hope you Healthcare Workers are all healthy and are working comfortably. I hope this letter will make your day and encourage you to keep going.

Thank you again for everything you have done to help others.

Chloe, A fourth grader in East Hampton 

Dear Uncle Rusty (doctor), 

Thank you for working on the front line  I am writing to you now because you’re risking your own life for others. This is why I am thanking you.

Your hard work will also help many families see their loved ones again. 

Your hard work allows me and my family to continue life. 

We are able to continue doing things we need to do like school and work.

Go into more detail about how this person’s work is helping you/your family/your community. You also might want to acknowledge the risks this person is taking to do their job. 

The quarantine is boring but it is to help health workers so they don’t have to treat even more patients. But some people are careless and don’t abide by the rules which makes your job harder.

Thank you again for your service  

Sincerely From your nephew,

Cooper 

Dear Doctors,

Thank you for taking care of us even when it puts you at risk of getting sick. With the coronavirus, you guys are on the front line taking care of everyone even when you can catch the sickness too.

When someone has the flu you still help them even when you could get it also.

 I am at home doing school work so I do not get sick. to stay safe I am social distancing 

Your hard work allows my family to stay healthy and safe.

Thank you again for taking care of everybody even when it can affect you.

From 

Emmett, a Fourth Grader at LREI
