OPEN LETTER TO AMERICA After three months of hearing about “worst case scenarios,” “the new normal,” and listening to Americans criticizing Americans it is refreshing and heartwarming to see all kinds of ordinary citizens coming together to help and inspire one another during a global pandemic. I came to America for economic reasons and fell in love with a warm, optimistic and loving country that offered hope to a young Irish immigrant. For the last 6 years Yankee has taken out full pages in local newspapers to express my gratitude to a country that has provided me so much, while pointing out what some might not notice, especially during these last few weeks.
Team Member Kara, her daughter Naraya and their neighbor Kaylee from the story.
For example, a Springfield covid-19 nurse returns home at midnight after a 12 hour shift to see her home in flames. A Yankee Home team member Kara Mainville steps up to take in the nurse’s daughter who lives on her street, who is now temporarily without a home. The community rallies and comes together to help this family rebuild by generously contributing to their Gofundme page. Americans looking out for Americans. Then there’s the unstoppable, 85 year old Ruth Willemain continuing to push forward with her dream of building Harmony House, a home where people could live out the last few days of their lives with dignity. Part Mother Theresa, part Clint Eastwood she rallied and inspired the many volunteers at great personal risk. She plowed forward with her handmade purple mask, social distancing all the while. I am incredibly honored to be a part of a truly inspirational person’s dream. The local community volunteering and donating their resources during this crisis is a testament to America. Cut off from my homeless friend Jake (theJakeStory.com) for 3 months all the while following Philadelphia death tolls and wondering if he made it. Then a collect call, Jake warning me and my wife Anna not to come down. His explanation of what was going on in his hometown, not knowing it was global, warmed my heart, grounded me and made me count my blessings even more.
Ger’s wife Anna showing the famous Jake the ins and outs of his new iphone.
This immigrant’s view of America remains unchanged. While not perfect, this country we call home is still that optimistic, warm and loving place he set foot on decades ago.
Ger Ronan (President)
Thanks for reading. Thank You America. Happy July 4th, and God bless her as She rebuilds. The wonderful board of Harmony House meeting at Yankee all dedicated to Ruth’s mission.

As Yankee Home has grown over the years we have received many calls and letters from these yearly July 4th pontifications, none more poignant than from Jerry Lucey. Now framed in our office, he wrote an impassioned letter reiterating my views of America. He recalls returning from Vietnam and getting spat on while marching down Tremont Street in Boston. This didn’t stop his love of his country. Nor I guess will a pandemic.
