I have no doubt, your inboxes, screens, social media feeds, and even real-life conversations, have been inundated with talk about COVID-19. This is an unsettling time for everyone with the uncertainty and unfolding conditions in our state and across the globe right now. Our hearts and thoughts are with all of our families, supporters and their loved ones during this everchanging time.
For our warrior community, where children and families often spend much time in clinics and hospitals, and may have lowered immunity, we want to be sure and share yesterday’s published joint statement from our community partners with the Child Neurology Foundation and Child Neurology Society.
To our nurses, physicians, therapists, first responders and all other healthcare professionals reading this – we see you – and we THANK YOU for your hard work each and every day, and even more so during this time in supporting our community’s health.
PSW has had to shift some of our programs internally as a result of COVID-19. Following the guidance from the CDC and Public-Health - Seattle & King County, we are pausing temporarily in bringing together any of our volunteers for building and distributing Warrior Bags and Brave Boxes to children and their families at this time. We hope to resume this soon enough, but in the meantime, our appreciation to the many hospital partnerships that we cultivated over the years that have our supportive resources on hand for newly diagnosed families during this time.
We have cancelled our March Seattle Aquarium day and our April 24th-26th Pediatric Stroke and Brain Injury family camp weekend in partnership with Camp Korey. While we will be unable to reschedule a camp like this for 2020, we will continue to create future opportunities and events to bring together our local children and families in support when it becomes feasible.
PSW and our programs are what they are today because of the generosity of our supporters, donors and Corporate Sponsors. Although our volunteers have put much heart and many hours into planning and preparation for our 5th Annual Wishes for Warriors Auction Gala, protecting our participants and community comes first. Life is drastically different than it was two weeks ago and may continue to be so in the weeks to come. We are continuing to monitor local health authority recommendations in King County and have begun preparation for if we need to postpone our event to a fall date. We have always been truly humbled by the enormous support in making a difference for pediatric stroke and we will continue to communicate further about our Wishes Event with our sponsors, donors and attendees in the days to come.
Above all else, we are thinking of each of you and especially our tiniest but mightiest of warriors right now. By staying strong and supporting each other as a community, we will find our way through it, and we will emerge different but stronger, together.
