I devoted nearly 20 years of my professional life to reporting, anchoring and producing award-winning television news programs around the country.

I lost it at work two weeks ago. Not a few tears running down my face, but an ugly, bawling meltdown.

Given the limits imposed by social distancing, Doug Koozer considered canceling the opening scheduled for this weekend at his art gallery on the West Shore.

But he and his business partner, Jason Kreiger, decided to forge ahead. Instead of a traditional in-person opening, they are hosting a virtual event. Their goal is to help artists who are struggling during the Covid-19 pandemic — and to create something of a lifeline for their gallery, called BrainVessel. 

Joy Gross is dedicated when it comes to helping those voiceless as a CASA volunteer.

“CASA stands for court-appointed special advocate. And a CASA volunteer is an individual who goes through many hours of training, and then is appointed by the judge to be an advocate for children,” Gross said.

She has handled nine cases and advocated for 24 children over the past 10 years.

It may just look like a box, and inside it may just be a meal, but to the folks on the front lines this could mean a lot when it shows up in a bag like this delivered with love on National EMS Week.
