“Just want to send a big thank you … You are amazing people and what you’re doing for this city, taking care of our kids is so important and so appreciated,” Rodgers said in the beginning of a video released by Postmates.
The video is sure to bring tears to your eyes. To see these kids stuck in the hospital excited about something is truly heartwarming. We’re beginning the season of giving and I love to read about it.
