The Process
By the end of my 11-week project, I had supplies distribution and card collection down to a science.
Next, my dad drove me to each of my friends’ homes to drop off envelopes with supplies (construction paper/ cardstock & crayons/colored pencils/markers).
7 - 10 days later, me & Dad picked up completed cards from the doorsteps of each family.
Once at home, I checked each and every card to make sure they were “appropriate” for the cause. In addition, I made sure all collected cards were stored in sealed plastic bags for 3-5 days before being distributed to hospitals (coronavirus precaution).
Twice a week, I separated patient cards from frontline worker cards. I communicated regularly with hospital Command Center personnel via texts, phone calls, and emails.
Finally, I hand delivered batches of cards right to each hospital’s front door.
