Life has changed a lot over the past month for my family and other families across the nation. As Michigan is placed on a three week lockdown, my mother, Jasminka Salimovic, is able to work from home. My father, Omer Salimovic, stays home as much as possible but must continue work as a truck driver. My 85-year-old grandmother, Suada Talic, lives with us and struggles with Alzheimers. My sister, Adna Salimovic, is a nurse for Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to see her due to the quarantine. Adna is currently waiting for her test results for the virus after getting sick at work.
