Patricia Tindall, CEO of LBJ, has requested all department heads, to identify those employees who have been victims of the recent tsunami. As of today, approximately 70 employees of our LBJ family have been identified as having experienced the physical effects of this disaster. For 13 staff members, there is no longer a home, or clothing, food or shelter: others have suffered lesser degrees of damage and loss. The number of employees who have lost loved ones remains unknown, but it is certain, that each and every one of us has been changed forever by the events of recent days.
Our hearts and prayers are with one another – it is not uncommon to see the tears in another’s eyes as you approach them. Some are telling me that it is a bit ‘therapeutic’ to be at work and to focus on tending to others. Others say that coming to work is just one bit of ‘normal’ in a life that has been totally disrupted.
Those of us who do have homes and clothing left, would like to share what we have with our co-workers, so Mrs. Tindall has established a donations center through LBJ Human Resources (Ana Hargett) and our LBJ Social Services Department. 684-633-5228 ana.hargett@lbj.as
