One of our co-workers is working through a family emergency right now. A grandparent is dying. The grandparent has been ill for some time, but has move down hill rapidly this week. I expect there will be a funeral early next week to attend.
As it would happen, next week is one of the busiest weeks on our calendars. A major fundraising campaign is ending next week, a major progress report is due, Sexual Assault Awareness Month kicks off with a week of activities, and I will be gone half the week attending a conference. Months of planning and work have gone into many of the activities planned for next week.
But, in non-profit world, especially crisis work non-profit world, we do this everyday.
With a couple well placed phone calls and emails . . . we have shifted coverage for all the activities and everything is moving smoothly.
Thats just what we do in non-profit crisis response world.
