In the midst of an ongoing shortage of personal protective equipment for healthcare professionals battling the coronavirus pandemic, many doctors and nurses are turning to donations and crowdfunding for essential supplies. Amy Johnson, whose childhood best friend is a nurse at St. Mary’s Hospital in New York, recently contributed masks for the hospital staff. In a poignant video, Johnson and the hospital team exchanged heartfelt gratitude.
“Everyone is incredibly thankful,” Amy’s friend Lisa expressed during a FaceTime call set up near the nurses’ station. “You can’t imagine how much this means to us. It makes us feel safer.” Lisa’s voice trembled with emotion as she continued, “We are truly grateful. Everyone here has faced so much in the past few weeks, and knowing there are people who care for us makes a significant difference.”
However, Johnson wasn’t just going to accept their thanks without acknowledging the sacrifices these frontline workers make every day. “I can’t thank you guys enough,” she replied. “I’m so sorry you’re going through this, and I’m incredibly proud to know you, Lisa. You have been my best friend for life, and you’re an amazing mom and friend.” Then, in her typical humorous fashion, she added, “But let me tell you, she was quite the party girl in high school.” This comment prompted laughter from the nurses, lightening the mood.
Throughout this pandemic, Johnson has also provided moments of levity, like when she shared a funny video reminding everyone to “Stay safe, wash your hands, and remember that everything is canceled.”
On a more personal note, she also faced touching moments, such as visiting her father through a window with her son, as close contact is currently not possible. This serves as a reminder that the pandemic affects everyone, regardless of status or privilege. We all need to unite in this fight. You can support Johnson’s efforts by donating through the link to Bethenny Frankel’s bstrong campaign, which she shared alongside her heartfelt video.
