Be voice of the voiceless; participate in 40 Days for Life
To the editor:
Do I/we hear the cry of the poor? Who are the voiceless, the hopeless, the helpless people in our society?
As a family nurse practitioner, I have provided health care in a variety of ways, to the person dying with a terminally ill disease; to Krystal and Adam unable to feed themselves, or walk or talk; to a mom who died in bed with the doctor making an incision to lift her baby son from her womb into my arms. Your life stories could be added.
