Make America “great” by keeping vulnerable Americans alive

When it comes to coronavirus, as with many, at first I was scared. I saw the photos in Italy and saw what was happening in New York. But after two weeks, I went from fear of the virus to fearing the power grab of politicians. I don’t know who to trust anymore. Trump says he wants to reopen while Fauci keeps extreme social distancing.

As a member of the Street Sense Media team, I find myself constantly wondering about the people who can’t run and hide from this pandemic. I ask myself, what can I do to help them? I currently stay at a shelter with 500-1000 people. Many are being taken away because of COVID-19 and it’s scary.

But what’s even more terrifying is, in the process of helping others, I’m constantly at risk and I don’t have the proper funds for the proper items to protect myself. I can only imagine how scary it is for those who sleep outside. Mr. President, it’s time for you to make good on your promise. It’s time to make America great again.
