The isolation brought about by the coronavius pandemic is difficult for everyone, but it has proven especially difficult for Jay Fund Foundation patients.
With visitation extremely limited, children already going through a rough time have seen their normal level of personal interaction dwindle. However, retired New York Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich, Olympic gold medalist Ryan Murphy, NFL correspondent Peter King, sports journalist Andrea Kremer and Sesame Street puppeteer Leslie Carrara-Rudolph have set out to change that.
Although they’ve been unable to meet with the kids in person, they’ve held court through Zoom and other conferencing apps.
Murphy has been holding one-on-one chats with the patients, King held a pre-2020 NFL Draft forum, Kremer has been reading bedtime stories and Carrara-Rudolph even did a live show via Facebook with her sock puppet Lolly.
Herzlich, meanwhile, stepped up with an Instagram Live event.
The Jay Fund Foundation is something we can all get behind, so if you’d like to contribute or volunteer, be sure to check their website for further information and follow them on both Twitter and Facebook.
