A nurse's daily job and routine

when I arrived at the home I found a woman with her hands full three small children and a sick father who couldn't work no wonder the woman sounded distressed over the telephone the man was obviously in need of medical and Hospital services in addition to putting in a call to the family physician I gave the data to the information and referral service of the welfare Federation which made arrangements for the attention this man needed I thought this pretty well solved family's difficulties but I learned later that to add to their troubles a fire had wiped out their home fortunately your community is prepared for such misfortunes it supports the Salvation Army emergency shelter a welcome home a roof over their heads for just such families in distress this is one of the agencies you help maintain when you give to the United appeals Red Cross
