Dear Friends: You probably want to think about anything other than COVID-19 right now. Trust me - we do, too. But we can’t. We can’t think of anything else because we have hundreds of staff working this very moment to keep the people we support, many of whom are considered high risk, safe and healthy, even if that means leaving their own houses and moving into one of ours. We have teams working on delivering virtual and remote services to the individuals we cannot see face to face every day; and others who are delivering supplies, food, personal care items and other necessities to keep individuals from prolonged community exposure. We owe it to them to keep thinking about it and strategizing to best protect the people we support and our employees. At the onset of COVID-19, panic began to set in around us. However, we knew we had to stay calm and develop a vision and strategy to ease the minds of our community: • The Vision is to maintain the physical and fiscal health of the people we support, our employees and our organization. • The Strategy is to control what we can in a world where we cannot control much, especially the spread of the virus. But we can limit the amount of interaction between people and ensure everyone has the recommended personal protective equipment needed to stay safe during the unavoidable interactions. Our entire operations changed. Within just a matter of a few days, everyone’s jobs looked a little different and 60% of our employees welcomed significant modification to their work duties. Our staff took on these new job duties, hours, and locations with alacrity because we all have the same vision. It is amazing to see 750 people be so nimble and open to change. We have had some amazing support through this. There have been family members, friends and companies with whom we work that have donated groceries, meals, masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, recreation supplies and more. And, we have already received a few grants from local funders that are helping people we support get through this crisis. The sense of community has never been stronger, and we appreciate that so much. But even with these donations, we have spent over $50,000 to date on personal protective equipment, cleaning supplies, and other items to accommodate the transition to the safer live-in model that we would not normally spend. We have had to quickly invest in technology to accommodate remote work and virtual services. And, while the live-in model, along with the task force personnel supporting our sites, is helping to reduce the risk of the virus spreading, it has already cost the organization significant additional payroll expenses compared to what we would normally accrue in one pay period. And the really tough part about this all is that we don’t know when it will end. We are lucky that Marrakech is a stable and well-respected organization in the community. And we know we will get through this and be okay in the end. But we need you now more than ever. If there was ever a time where I had to do a direct ask, it is right now. So, I am asking, or maybe pleading…please donate to Marrakech, in any amount you can. Every little bit helps and will go directly to funding the services and supports needed to get us through this crisis and back to normal again. Donate now by going to www.marrakechinc.org or by using the envelope provided. With Gratitude, Heather LaTorra President & CEO 4 Spring/Summer 2020
