Four kind and compassionate kids have banded together to buy gifts for nurses and doctors who are working hard to treat COVID-19 patients.
As Kaleisha Pilkington from Australia explained, her four children decided to assist medical workers who are battling the pandemic by preparing them gift bags and a heartwarming poem.
“Dear Superheroes in Scrubs, some days you may feel like giving up, maybe admitting defeat, days when you don’t get to stop or even have something to eat,” the letter given to medical professionals at Perth’s Fiona Stanley Hospital read.
“Things are crazy, resources you lack, we hope this helps when you need a snack. When you get a second to breath, and we really hope you do, please grab a snack… better yet, two. Love the Pilkington Family.”
After the act of kindness went viral, social media users praised Kaleisha for raising thoughtful kids and helping them pull through with their plan to gift healthcare workers.
Speaking of the compassionate gesture with Daily Mail Australia, the proud mother said she hopes that more kids will be taught how to be kind because “the world currently lacks – empathetic, thoughtful and kind humans.”
While nurses and doctors are doing their best to treat growing numbers of patients, not all are lucky enough to receive gifts in return.
In a recent video that went viral, a nurse has broken into tears as she revealed she came across empty supermarket shelves and was unable to buy basic foods following her 48-hour shift.
In a tear-jerking video, 51-year-old Dawn Bilbrough begged people to stop panic-shopping and leave some stuff for those who can’t afford to be at the store whenever they please.
“I’ve just come out [of] the supermarket and there’s no fruit and veg. I had a little cry in there. I just wanted to get something in for the next 48 hours. There’s no fruit there’s no vegetables, I just don’t know how I’m supposed to stay healthy,” York-based Bilbrough said with tears in her eyes.
“There’s people stripping the shelves of basic foods, you just need to stop it, it’s people like me who are going to be looking after you when you’re at your lowest, please.”
