Brandy, Georgia 

Tell us a little about yourself!

I am an Emergency Department RN, so I am on the front line of this pandemic.

Tell us about your #MakeWaves project.

During this pandemic, my coworkers at my hospital have been given donations of masks, foods, surgical caps, etc. by some many businesses and private citizens.

It has inspired me to want to donate to healthcare workers, not just at my hospital, but other hospitals across GA. I want to make care packages for those who work in the hospital.

The care package would contain mini hand sanitizers, small packs of disinfectant wipes, a few surgical masks, and some snacks for a pick me up. I want to create these packages, so my fellow healthcare workers can protect themselves during this treacherous time.

Who / What inspired you?

Healthcare workers (RNs, MDs, PMs, PCTs, Secretaries, Janitors, Food workers, etc.) My local community and their generosity inspire me tremendously. I hope to start out my charity project by making a few hundred care packages to distribute.

Your message to the community:

The past few months have been a trying time for all. I want to use this grant to start giving back to those who have been so helpful.

Say hi to Brandy!
