More than £25,000 has been raised and spent on electronic tablets, mobile phones, toiletries and essentials for NHS staff and patients across Wales.
Mum-of-four Sara Platt set up a Facebook group after her one-year-old child was admitted to hospital with coronavirus symptoms, and she has since helped give back enormously to NHS hospitals across Wales.
"It started off just trying to send tea and biscuits and things like that to NHS staff at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, and then we started getting requests from hospital wards across Wales for stuff for patients", Sara, from Llanharan, said.
"As there is no visiting at the moment they were asking for stuff for patients too, so stuff like tablets so they can keep in touch with their families and things like toiletries.
"And so far, since starting it on March 29, we have helped 59 wards in hospitals across the country. We have sent out 60 tablets and 32 mobile phones."
Sara runs the NHS Kindness Wishlist Facebook group with the help of her sister, Hayley Francis, and the group now has more than 11,000 members.
Every day, they post a new Amazon wishlist, made up of items requested by ward managers across Wales.
Sara and Hayley ensure the staff member is genuine by requesting their NHS ID, and a full list of items needed at that ward are then given.
People are then able to purchase these items, which will be sent to the staff member's house so they can take them into hospital with them.
Alternatively, people can donate to a PayPal Poole, and the money will then be spent on buying the items on the wishlists.
"It is just a way of us showing our appreciation and so many people are helping," said 29-year-old Sara.
Sara has been recommended to shield in her home for 12 weeks due to her health, so she decided to start the lists to show her appreciation for her local hospitals who have helped her over the years, and how they helped her son.
Around a month ago, Sara's one-year-old, Kohan Platt, was rushed to hospital with coronavirus symptoms.
"The staff were absolutely amazing with him, even though they thought he had it, they still picked him up and gave him the care he needed," said Sara.
Watch as NHS staff at the Royal Glamorgan A&E department dance to keep spirits high :
Kohan's Covid-19 test came back negative, but doctors advised the virus may have already passed.
The family of six have all since recovered from experiencing symptoms of coronavirus.
"I just wanted to do something to show my appreciation and it's now turned into something so amazing."
Sara says £23,600 has been spent across 59 wards in just eight days, with an average spend of £400 on each ward.
This money covers things that are needed by patients they aren't able to receive from visitors due to coronavirus prevention measures, and includes items like toothpaste, pyjamas, toiletries, teas and biscuits.
A further £2,760 has been spent on tablets to be used in wards across Wales, as well as £576 on mobile phones for the same use.
The Facebook group has also raised awareness of how emotionally stressful it is for many patients, including children, to be in hospital at this time.
As a result of this, the group has also been used to coordinate donations of chocolate eggs in preparation for Easter.
Pontyclun Primary School PTA donated more than 600 chocolate eggs, which will be shared out between the Royal Glamorgan Hospital, Princess of Wales Hospital, University Hospital of Wales, and Prince Charles Hospital in Merthyr Tydfil.
