HEARTWARMING STORIES FROM THE HEARTLAND
HOW IOWANS ARE COMING TOGETHER TO FIGHT COVID-19
SALES AND SUCCES S
Here in Iowa, our communities are known for their hardiness, resilience, and heart. We’ve pulled through a lot of tough times in the past, including ice storms, floods, and tornadoes that have caused colossal damage across the state. When things get hard, Iowans come together, and so far, the coronavirus pandemic has been no exception. Despite fear and uncertainty, Iowans are keeping their chins up, looking on the bright side, and helping each other through this crisis. Seeing communities band together to make masks and cheer on essential workers has been a real silver lining for us! Here are just a few of the positive stories we’ve seen in the news lately that gave us hope for the future: • In Waterloo, a group of teachers from Becker Elementary joined forces to make a video for their students that quickly went viral on Facebook. “Hello Becker Bears!” the video begins, “Your teachers wanted you to know how much they MISS and LOVE you!” Then, one after another, smiling teachers appeared with their kids, pets, and rolls of toilet paper, holding signs with messages like, “I miss your smiles, giggles, hugs, and high-fives!” The video probably made a lot of kids’ days, and it definitely made ours. • In Des Moines, a happy couple got engaged and married over Zoom within just 24 hours on April 1. “Life is messy! April Fools’ Day, April 1, during a pandemic … it just seemed very metaphoric for how life goes,” groom Cole Mayer told We Are Iowa. The screenshots of the smiling couple are adorable and point to a much brighter future (and maybe even an Iowa-style reception) down the line. • In Clive, Dr. Brooke Johnson came home from her work shift to an impromptu parade in April. Her neighbors lined the street with American flags, covered their cars and lawns with signs, and honked and waved as the doctor passed in her car. It was an incredible display of support that made us proud of our home state! If you’re struggling to stay positive, seeking out stories like these might help.
