A majority of the the workers in the trench, work hard for long hours. They see the needs first hand. They submit requests. It's the red tape and cumbersome bureaucracy that is difficult to deal with for them. I've met some who took a lot of heat fighting for their cases, at their own risk of sanctions.
Most of the time their attention is spread over too many cases. This is administrative as well, assigning too many cases. I understand the emotional stress of waiting in a hospital all day, with an injured child, trying to find the best situation to place him. Or sit through Christmas dinner with eight children in mind. Children no one has seen before, who lived in the woods, who couldn't read or write and had never seen a toy. Where can you put them to be together. The fact that you can't discuss any of it makes it that much harder.
Fortunately, there's training that teaches you to cope with that, just like doctors and nurses do. So these workers are usually loving, strong parents, despite what they see all day. It's wonderful, that a fine individual in this line of work, was able to cherish you in his own home. He is a credit to his profession. I'm sure you admire and respect him very much. Pay it forward
