First of all - I'm just a humble father thinking about his children during this time of need and self reflecting what can I do to help from the current position I am in? After reading social media and news reports around the duress concerning our healthcare system and the families at home fighting their battles. I came up with this idea. #Forgivetheloan 

When the Economy recovers and the big business begins to go for profits again we will find ourselves struggling to keep up again and the worries we had all along will have caught up to us. We as a country need to give back to those front line workers that kept this country running outside of a minimum wage single month stimulus check. This goes beyond a mortgage companies forgiveness of payments while we are in crisis, you will only have to pay it back at the end of the term. It extends past Insurance companies giving you back $50.00 for a single month premium on your insurance rate - this is wonderful, but I would expect a bit more especially since most except for those that are deemed essential employees should not be on the road, and those that are deemed essential employees should be 'gifted' their expense for working anyway .. again .. keeping the country running for those of us that can work from home. This petition is focused on the health care industry and those sacrificing their lives to an oath to a passion or calling that they felt when they were younger never expecting to run into an invisible enemy call COVID-19. It is our turn to support them in any way possible and get the word out to our elected leaders that we respectfully request that they initiate a bill to erase ALL student loans incurred prior to March 15, 2020.    

In this time of uncertainty we have neighbor hero's that go to.work.everyday not knowing what their personal impact will be against this terrible situation They have a high possibility of exposing those around them as well as their family when they come home. You hear about stories of mothers and fathers coming home self-isolating to protect those they love the most and leave their youngest wondering "why mommy or daddy can't give them a big hug and play" These individuals are giving their all and some are even giving the ultimate sacrifice  

We as a United States of American can agree to put aside politics and come across colored isles in some ivory building in Washington DC and TRULY and FINALLY put the people first by having our elected legislation establish a bill to forgive all.student loans for those work the front line of the COVID-19 crisis. Filter out the wannabe scammers and TRULY help all those that sacrificed their and their loved ones well-being on a daily basis 

We need to forget the Blue and the Red of our country for the moment and finally stand behind doing what is right by a human being. Forgive the student loans for all front-line workers 

cheers to all.and please be safe and love your family
