| LAST CALL: Thanking our El Paso Heroes | |
|
El Paso is one of the communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic and our frontline health care workers have been working around the clock to defeat this deadly virus. We can't thank them enough for their dedication, service, and personal sacrifice. That's why my office launched a digital campaign to show our appreciation for our heroes. You and your loved ones can submit digital notes and drawings like Santiago’s for frontline health care workers fighting to keep our community safe and healthy during these difficult times. This is just one small way for us to express our gratitude and let them know we will always remember their sacrifices. Don’t miss this opportunity to express your gratitude to our heroes and submit your notes by tonight, December 23, 2020, at 11:59 p.m. MT. My office and partnering organizations in El Paso will safely deliver your notes. |
