‘Thank you for all that you do. We love you.’
She shared a link to donation page, which explained how national effort to support and aid nurses has been being kicked off with a $1.5 million grant from Johnson & Johnson and the TYLENOL brand.
However, the Marley & Me star did not disclose how much she had chosen to donate to the cause.
Just weeks before, Jen surprised a cardiovascular nurse who contracted Covid-19 while working on the frontline.
The Morning Show star appeared on the Jimmy Kimmel Show to video call Kimball Fairbanks and give some much-needed words of encouragement as the mother-of-two had been in isolation away from her own children.
Jen also gave the wonder woman a $10,000 Postmates gift card and spread the love with more gift cards for the other nurses on Kimball’s floor.
The Friends star appeared on screen via a video link and told Kimball: ‘I just have to say, God bless you and all of you that are out there doing what you’re doing.
