Gratitude for all of the frontline healthcare workers taking care of us during the COVID pandemic.
On October 15th I joined the Hand Medal Project as "Hand Maker #2782".
As “Hand Maker 2782”, I competed 36 Hand Medals. Together with six Boise State Alumni and Students, we made a total of 80 Hand Medals in about 2 weeks. As Idaho's "Hand Keeper", I worked with St. Luke's Hospital in Boise to get the 80 Hand Medals to frontline healthcare workers. These little Hand Medals are our small act of gratitude to show our appreciation and respect for the people on the frontlines, especially now as our COVID19 case numbers are surging.
Please wear your mask and be socially responsible. Do it for our veterans in the nursing homes, do it for grandma and grandpa, do it for your pregnant neighbor, the immunocompromised stranger, and the healthcare workers.
Thank you Iris Eichenberg and Jimena Rios for creating this powerful project and allowing us all to join you is showing our gratitude for the overworked, exhausted, yet dedicated and compassionate frontline healthcare workers around the world.
