  • Where is Veronika’s Safety Net?
    Jul 27 2020

    Veronika, a Non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer survivor, NCCS
    advocate, and Museum Educator, lead group tours of young,
    aspiring artists at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburg. In the
    cramped exhibit halls and close quarters of the indoor museum,
    she would feel the hugs of her young guests who greeted her as
    she prepared groups for interactive demonstrations. She also
    served as the front-line for the museum by being the first face a
    visitor would see. Visitors came to Veronika for answers.


    Since Friday the 13th of March, Veronika has been furloughed
    from her museum and safely quarantined alone in her home. As
    a cancer survivor with a depleted immune system, she is at a
    heightened risk for a deadly infection if she contracts COVID-19,
    which would most likely cost her her life.


    Yet, Veronika loves her job and finds her life purpose in her
    work, which gives her both happiness and security to pay bills
    and receive health insurance. But now, she fears her job will
    soon require her to go back to the museum, which in turn, will
    compromise her health and safety.
