At St. Louis's Mercy Children's Hospital, a winning Mega Millions ticket. I honestly thought I was seeing things. A group of more than a hundred NICU nurses shared a $10,000 prize. But rather than each take their share, they decided to give the money to two colleagues in need. You know, it’s not the 1.6 billion dollars, here is what we have to offer you. Neonatologist Casey Orleans's husband Phil was diagnosed with sarcoma cancer earlier this year.
You know, the incredible generosity that these nurses have, which was, you know, amazing to me. Mama of four Casey cut her hours in half to take care of her family. I just felt like it was an answer to a prayer. The other half went to Gretchen Post who 17 year old son Jack died by suicide on the night of the Mega Millions drawing. The money paid for his funeral. I was very grateful for the thoughtfulness and the generosity. A hospital family helping each other. Maybe it'll encourage others to spread kindness. As nurses who care for the smallest of babies, show us just how big their hearts are.
