If you're sitting at home and wonder how you can make a difference in the COVID-19 fight, here's an idea.

Our frontline caregivers in hospitals around the country show up every day to fight the virus and tend the sick. Many of them are overworked and exhausted. Just staying healthy is a battle.

Elizabeth Dawson is a nurse at Swedish Hospital in Seattle and a family friend. Like many of the nurses, she'll sometimes work three days straight and then fall into bed. I told her she was hero and she told me, "Not me. The real heroes are the 50 ICU nurses working exclusively with COVID-19 patients. They are constantly fatigued by the process. Five of them have come down with the virus. And the rest are worried that they might get it too."

I asked Elizabeth if the nurses she knows would be encouraged if people I knew were to write them notes of encouragement and send them flowers. "Yes!" She said she would look into it.

Let's begin by encouraging Elizabeth herself. If five of you would write her a note and send it to me, then I will forward them to her. You could either type it out or you could use the CamScanner app to make your handwritten note a pdf that you could email me. Send it to me at using the "Email Me" button above. Please let me know in the comments below if you would like to do that.

If any of you want to send flowers, then let me know and you can Venmo money. We still need to work out the logistics of getting and delivering the flowers and printing the notes. If we can figure that out, then we'll send flowers and notes to other caregivers. Then, I'm hoping we can get photos of a nurse we blessed showing the difference you made.

Thanks for caring!
