Brooklyn, NY. May 15,
2020 — Although the nurses
at Downstate Medical Center did not get to have their regular, elaborate Nurses
Week celebrations this year, due to the disruptive impacts of the deadly
CoronaVirus Disease (COVID19) outbreak, they were nevertheless delivered a treat
on Thursday, May 7, by a Brooklyn-based food caterer and owner of Partys R Us,
Earlyn Williams, along with some other generous relatives and friends.
Specifically, the
on-shift nurses at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, the Medical Intensive Care
Unit, the Emergency Room and the Labor & Delivery Unit at Downstate, were
the beneficiaries of a package of 47 delicious West Indian lunches and 48
cupcakes.
The gift of the food was received on behalf of the nurses by assistant head nurse, Cheryl Vincent, nurse Lana Colas, and certified nursing assistant Barbara Orama.
Thursday’s generous gesture was part of an ongoing initiative to cook and deliver hot, tasty meals to essential frontline workers who are risking their lives performing healthcare duties at local area hospitals and senior homes, under the dire stress of the COVID 19 pandemic, which has already claimed thousands of lives in New York City and around the world.
As Earlyn, the lead organizer of this initiative puts it, “It’s simply our way of saying thank you to our hardworking, local heroes who are working tough, long hours to save lives. We do what we do voluntarily, simply because we want our nurses, doctors, and other hospital staff, to know that we do appreciate them for all the good that they are doing.”
The other members of Earlyn's Partys R Us team of volunteers are: Amanta Stephenson, Maggie Rechea, Jackie Rechea, Shaniqua Brown, Royston and Tasha Rechea, Sherry Gaillard, Ritch Image Francis, and Sean Fortune. Together, these individuals have been pooling resources of personal funds, time and cooking abilities to make this charitable outreach possible.
Nurses, doctors and other staff members in various departments at the following institutions have already received bowls of lovingly prepared, delicious, hot West Indian food from Earlyn and her team of volunteers: NYU Lancome Downtown Brooklyn; Brookdale Medical Center (with special assistance from Fraudine Peterson and Family); Sheepshead Nursing Rehabilitation Center; Kings County Hospital; and most recently SUNY's Downstate Medical Center.
