Kelly was nominated by Anne Delengowksi, MSN, RN, AOCN, the unit’s clinical nurse specialist. Here is an excerpt from her nomination letter, “One of our leukemia patients was from Puerto Rico. This young woman had two young children back at home who she did not see often. Her wish was to be able to spend Thanksgiving with them. Kelly sought out the help of her peers to be able to grant this wish. She collected over $1000 in a week to allow the husband to purchase the airline tickets to bring the children here. You can just imagine the moment that we told them and the happiness of all when the family was reunited! “
