Thank you!

This goes out to everyone who dedicated their life to help others. Thank you.

Thanks to doctors. Thanks, that you try to improve the life of others despite the high pressure this job involves; that you keep going even when you’ve given everything you’ve got.

Thanks to nurses. Thanks that you’ve chosen your job despite it being not only physical and psychical demanding but also underpaid in most countries. Thanks especially to those nurses who manage to still have a smile on their face at the end of their shift. I don’t know how you do that.

Thanks to every lifeguard and lifesaver. Thanks that you have an eye on swimmers even when they don’t notice it until they get into trouble. Thanks for the saved lives and second chances you’ve given.

Thanks to rescue workers. Thanks for keeping a cool head in desperate situations.

Thanks to psychologists. Thanks that you make lives worth living again when one has already given up and that you help your patients find their light switch in their darkest place.

Thanks to lawyers. The ones who actually help people. Thanks that you know what you do when the rest of us is overwhelmed with a situation.

Thanks to vets. Thanks, that you understand our companions through life when the owner is clueless.

Last but not least: Thanks to every volunteer out there. Thanks to you for finding the energy to do something good after a stressful day/week. Thank you to everyone who works in non-profit organisations, who’s on the other side of a helpline or who travels to third world countries to help others.
