A 74-year-old woman named Eileen Michaels is on a mission to help hospital patients feel loved and connected to others through heartfelt cards.
“Not only were people suffering, but they were suffering a lot,” she said of the project that began at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
Michaels, who is a former Wall Street executive and nurse, reached out on social media asking neighbors in Ocean Grove, New Jersey, to write cards for patients. It took mere hours for hundreds to be dropped off on her doorstep, CBS News reported Monday.
“Pretty soon we had cards coming out of our ears,” noted Carol Rizzo, who distributed the cards at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, adding patients were tearful and appreciated the fact people went out of their way to encourage them.
