Help in the pandemic – Storytelling 

 Challenge and selection . 

 Storytelling is an amazing tool that is used all the time . I am a college student who focuses on   helping people in need . I mean vulnerable and fragile people . I constantly volunteer and I have   learned that it is easy to assume needs , but we are not always correct . In the wake of the   pandemic , a group of friends and I got together to talk about the help we could provide to people   who are having a worse time , I am referring to covid patients . Each one shared their experience   and their point of view of the problem we wanted to tackle in order to find a solution together . I   shared a story of my life so that more or less they have a perspective of what a covid patient   suffers from day to day and we can better understand the problem and find a solution . 

 Application 

 Following the idea in the previous paragraph , after we got together and shared our personal   stories about the pandemic and the covid patients , an idea came up . We realized that it would be   best to do a little more research on what these people , whom we wanted to help , go through in   their day - to - day lives . We asked them personally what they would like to improve in their current   situation . They told us many things and we learned a lot from them . We learned that , not counting   all the bodily suffering they have , these people spend their days confined and separated from   everything . Many of them were diagnosed with depression , they felt lonely . They also told us that   they had strict hours for calls and for supervised visits . They did n't feel like themselves and they   just wanted to get out of there . So , we thought , how to make them feel accompanied and   comfortable without risking being infected . 

 Insight and Approach 

 Knowing the stories of the people who lived in confinement was very revealing and motivating .   We thought about how we could get closer without having to be in person . That is when it   occurred to us to send them motivational messages every day , but how ? A text message would be   very common , so why not send them letters . Letters would be our way of showing them that we   cared about them . A personalized letter would show them dedication , interest and company .    There we would tell them our experience , point of view , anecdotes or even jokes to make their   day better . We managed to raise the funds to start this beautiful volunteer called One Letter Two   Hearts . We have volunteers who help us write letters for patients , families , and medical staff . 

 This beautiful initiative arose thanks to the idea of contributing to our environment , since we are   going through such difficult situations . Hundreds of covid patients receive letters every day . The   most gratifying thing is that some of them have answered our letters and told us that it has helped   them to move forward . We also receive photos of them when they are recovered and they   appreciate all our help . 

 This course made me see that as a tool in a new sense . The power of stories can help us see reality   from a different perspective and get a better focus in everything we do . 

 Looking back , I do n't think I would change anything . I think I followed the four steps of design   thinking . Thanks to this course we will expand to other areas of the hospital and redesign the   content of the letters . I am so grateful for this .
