"Some people very close to me have gotten sick and I wanted to make care packages because they didn't really have much to do in the hospital. I just wanted to give them something that would keep their mind off of what was happening," said Reim.

The cards were created at Kind Hearts & Crafts, then the packages were delivered to Inspira Medical Center.

The care packages included items donated by the community including: board games, coloring books, cards, and more.

Reim communicated with the team at Inspira Medical Centers volunteer department on which items would suit patients best.



She was met with a warm welcome from Inspira Medical Center staff when the bags were delivered.
