When a global pandemic such as the one that broke out due to Coronavirus affects the whole world hard, everyone suffers: from those who are temporarily staying at home because their work is suspended, to those who have lost their work  indefinitely. But the group who are at the forefront of the fight against Covid-19 are health workers, including doctors and nurses, who are forced to take grueling shifts to look after the large number of patients.

In this situation, any gesture of kindness towards health workers is always welcome. As was occasioned by this woman from Bahìa Blanca, Argentina, who decided not to let her tenant pay the rent for two months, when she found out that she was working as a nurse and was on the front line in the fight against Covid-19.

The nurse is called Mayra Beròn, she is 32 years old and works in the Municipal Hospital of Agudos in Bahìa Blanca, in the south of the province of Buenos Aires; although at this time many neighbors of nurses and health workers are afraid of being infected by them, this story of the landlady and the young nurse instead instills love, empathy and a lot of hope.

Mercedes is the owner of the apartment I rent in Bahia Blanca, Mechita Fonseca, today she did this for me, knowing that I am a nurse. Thank you for this lovely gift she has given me and I hope that there are more people like her! Today we don't see gestures more beautiful than this. "
