What started as an effort by two women to help slow the spread of COVID-19 in Sheridan County and keep the community safe turned into a movement that’s generated over $30,000 in gifts to the estimated 1,000-plus healthcare workers in Sheridan County.
Ada Kirven, who’s director of donor relations for the Sheridan Memorial Hospital Foundation, said the effort started after local attorney Deb Wendtland saw Sheridan Memorial Hospital’s video asking for people in the community to wear masks and social distance to help slow spread of the virus.
Kirven Wendtland and her friend Julie Gerlach went from wanting to be part of that effort to a desire to do more.
