A group of volunteers from Chicago came together to show appreciation for our everyday heroes — the doctors who work tirelessly to keep us healthy and safe. With creativity, care, and a whole lot of heart, handcrafted beautiful origami flowers as a small token of gratitude.  Thank you to our amazing volunteers for turning paper into petals, and appreciation into art. You truly made a difference!
