发帖数: 1 | 1 In a pandemic, Navajo community steps up for its vulnerable
For as long as Raymond Clark has lived alone on this quiet stretch of the
Navajo Nation under the watch of the “Praying Mountain,” he has depended
on everyone yet no one.
The 71-year-old has no vehicle or running water but is content hitchhiking
and carrying jugs down a dusty washboard road to replenish his supply. He
works at home in Teesto painting murals and silversmithing, but friends
often stop by.
Or at least they did before the pandemic. Now, rides and visits are scarcer
in an area with no grocery store or gas station and where homes sit far
apart.
The sense of community, though, never faded. With residents urged to stay
home, tribal workers, health representatives and volunteers have stepped up
efforts to ensure the most vulnerable citizens get the help they need.
