The Heroes of the Decade are Celebrated

WARRENVILLE, IL, USA, November 10, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Silver Cross Hospital & LoveIsARose.com Partner to Honor Nurses & Essential Workers, Celebrating World Kindness Day

Silver Cross Hospital, New Lenox, IL and LoveIsARose.com have partnered to honor and recognize the nurses and essential workers who are the HEROES OF THE DECADE during the month of November.

November 13 is “World Kindness Day” however Silver Cross, a 302-bed acute care/general hospital, is taking the entire month of November to honor these HEROES. And with LoveIsARose.com’s donation of 3000 gift packages throughout the month of November, the purpose of World Kindness Day, compassion for others binding us together, is being fulfilled. The gift packages consist of a long stem, live, red rose in special museum case packaging, a 2” KINDNESS pin, and a message card of gratitude, inspiration, and love to the hospital’s nurses and essential workers.

For LoveIsARose, every day of every month can be a day of KINDNESS. They believe that each moment in time is an opportunity to define who we are as human beings.

LoveIsARose.com has distributed 15,000 rose gift packages to hospitals and senior care facilities in IL including Delnor Hospital, Geneva; Central Dupage Hospital, Winfield; Amita, Elk Grove Village; Friendship Village, Schaumburg; Northwestern Orthopedics, Warrenville and many others in the past 3 months.

Kathy Fey, co-owner with Sid Fey of Sid Fey Designs, Home of LoveIsARose.com, stated, “The tears of joy and the loving smiles shining through the protective masks have filled our hearts with inspiration and have provided us the energy to keep our mission alive.”

When asked what prompted Sid Fey to start this initiative, he responds: “I have been deeply concerned by the normalization of bullying, racism, hatred, and division in our country. As a parent and grandfather, I want my children and grandchildren to grow up in a world that works for everyone, with no one left out. I wish to see a world where people can be openly kind to each other and where our leaders come forward with compassion and integrity. I wish to see a world where the rights of everyone, everywhere, are acknowledged. Then the world can be a better place for you and me,” stated Fey. “We have created a successful model for KINDNESS. We hope others can find their own way of expressing it. This is our time, our stand, you, and me. Be kind. Our children deserve it,” concluded Fey.

A message from Beth Frigo, RN, NM Ortho Team, Warrenville, highlights the project’s impact:
