Danielle Van Den Bosch lives in Dauphin and her message is pretty simple. She and her daughters, Makallah and Averie are staying at home for the people who are continuing to work during this COVID-19 pandemic.
Through April 14, the province of Manitoba has a health order that has all non-essential businesses closed. That means essential services are continuing to remain open at this time. That includes grocery stores, health care services, gas stations, and many other businesses that we heavily rely on in our day-to-day life.
Danielle, Makallah, and Averie are staying at their home practicing social distancing and they decided to get creative to say thank you to workers at essential businesses.
They created a poster and it reads "You've Stayed at Work for Us, We'll Stay at Home for You". The poster now is hanging on their window for the public to see.
"I was scrolling through Instagram and I saw some people were creating signs like this," said Van Den Bosch. "I thought to myself that I would love to do something with my kids, we love doing things like this."
"I just want everyone to know that we're thinking about everyone," she continued.
Their original idea was to create a different poster for each business they still visit; however, they decided to just make one.
"We all sat at different corners of the table while we did it," concluded Van Den Bosch. "We all had a blast, it wasn't anything big, but we just want people to know that we're thinking about them."
