  • as Katie Finn worked from home, her sister was going to work every day as an E R nurse in one of New York City's hard hit hospitals, treating Corona virus patients 14 hours a day with no break and no end in sight.

  • That's when Katie decided she needed to help.

  • I asked my sister, What can I d'oh, She said, Katie, can you make event?

  • I said, No.

  • She said, Have you been hoarding?

  • And 95 said, I have not.

  • She said, Can you buy lunch?

  • And I said, Yes, that Aiken dio on with that Katie cooked up an idea about my sister and the nurses in her unit lunch, and they loved it.

  • And I want to keep doing it.

  • Katie, taking to Facebook to ask for donations to help keep the gravy train rolling, I can't begin to tell you how much these nurses appreciate this food.

  • It is so rewarding to bring the food to them and see how excited they are and happy are.

  • They are really grateful they are for this food.

  • In just one week, Kitty raised more than 10 $1000 delivering food to emergency rooms across the city.

  • WeII fed 100 and 80 doctors and nurses today.

  • I'm so excited about this, all the meals purchased from local restaurants that are struggling because of the pandemic.

  • You're also keeping small businesses alive.

  • We're trying to keep people in business.

  • Katie and her team serving up kindness and lunch.

  • He's overworked.

  • Front liners were gonna be able to feed multiple units of nurses for the weeks to come, as this thing gets worse and these nurses hours get longer and the supply start to dwindle.

  • These are the people that are gonna be on the front lines, Katie, adding, If you're not able to donate, there's something else you can do.

  • Stay safe and stay home.

  • Since she started the project on March 21st Katie has raised nearly $20,000 provided meals to more than 1000 health care professionals.

  • And I see you's treating Cove in 19 patients as well as the E R.

  • Staffs around the city, you guys and she's making two deliveries tomorrow.

  • So this thing is still going so strong, there's nothing like a hot lunch, especially for those who are doing everything they can to save so many lives during this pandemic.

  • I actually said some of us, we can't build ventilators.

  • But what we can do is if you know a nurse, a doctor, a medical professional.

  • Just ask them.

  • Hey, are you okay?

  • How are you doing?

  • Maybe they just need someone to talk to, because again, they're seeing some pretty traumatic things.

  • They're overworked, overstressed, so even something as simple as that.

  • Can we get that high?

  • Let's jam back as a good break, Roni.
