RENEE
RENEE ELLIS IS THE OWNER OF SIGN GYPSIES BOISE.
SHE IS THE PERSON WHO
PUT UP THOSE INSPIRING
SIGNS BACK IN IN MARCH
AND APRIL OF THIS YEAR
IN FRONT OF HOSPITALS
AND OTHER MEDICAL
CENTERS IN THE VALLEY,
TELLING OUR HEALTHCARE
WORKERS HOW WE FEEL
ABOUT THEM.
THEY WERE OUR HEROES
THEN, AND THEY STILL
ARE, AS THEY FIGHT
COVID-19.
HERE'S MAGGIE O'MARA
WITH TONIGHT'S "BEST
OF" SEVEN'S HERO!
THESE INSPIRING PHOTOS
HAVE BEEN POPPING UP
ON SOCIAL MEDIA HERE
IN THE TREASURE VALLEY...
WE CAME INTO WORK
AND WE WERE
WELCOMED BY THIS
REALLY AMAZING SIGN
THAT SAID HEROES WORK
HERE...
SIGNS, THAT ARE
BRINGING OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS SO
MUCH JOY.
I HAD TO TAKE A PICTURE
BECAUSE IT JUST MEANT
SO MUCH THAT
SOMEBODY WOULD TAKE
SOME TIME OUT AND JUST
RECOGNIZE THE
RECOGNIZE THE
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS THAT ARE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW.
ST. ALPHONSUS NURSE
KRISTIN
KRISTIN REESE SENT ME THIS PHOTO THAT SHE
SNAPPED
SNAPPED OUTSIDE THE HOSPITAL, AND I POSTED IT ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL
SOMEBODY THANK YOU!
AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHO
TO THANK FOR THAT!
THIS PHOTO GOT SUCH
AN INCREDIBLE REACTION
FROM YOU, OUR VIEWERS,
THAT I KNEW WE NEEDED
TO TRACK DOWN THE
PERSON BEHIND IT. WE
FOUND HER!
I TELL PEOPLE I PUT A
LITTLE PIECE OF MY HEART
INTO EVERY GREETING
THAT I SET UP...
MEET RENEE ELLIS...
YOU GO OUT AND YOU
PUT UP SIGNS BASICALLY!
I DO, SO I HAVE A GARAGE
FULL OF LETTERS AND
GRAPHICS AND NUMBERS.
SHE OWNS SIGN GYPSIES
BOISE,
BOISE, AND SHE FELT LIKE SHE JUST HAD TO DO SOMETHING FOR OUR
HEALTHCARE WORKERS.
WE WERE FACED WITH
THIS PANDEMIC... AND WE
HAVE HEALTHCARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE REALLY PUTTING
THEMSELVES ON THE LINE.
I HAVE HEALTH CARE
WORKERS IN MY FAMILY
AND SO THIS REALLY HITS
HOME TO ME.
SHE'S BEEN SNEAKING
AROUND
AROUND BEFORE THE SUN COMES UP, SETTING UP THESE TOUCHING SIGNS
TO HONOR THESE HEROES
AT MEDICAL FACILITIES
ACROSS THE VALLEY.
REACHING OUT TO
HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
TO JUST SAY THANK YOU...
BECAUSE FROM WHAT
WE'RE HEARING... THEY
ARE GOING IN AND IT'S
TOUGH THEY ARE PUTTING
IN LONG HARD DAYS AND
SHORTAGES OF
EQUIPMENT NAD
EQUIPMENT NAD
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT HOW LONG THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND TIME
AWAY FROM THEIR
FAMILIES ANS SO THIS
WAS JUST A WAY WE
COULD LIFT THEIR SPIRITS
A LITTLE BIT. THAT'S THE
BEST FEEDBACK I HAVE
GOTTEN IS THAT YOU
KNOW
KNOW I
KNOW I CAME TO WORK AND IT'S BEEN A LITTLE TOUGH AND I SAW THAT
SIGN THERE AND IT
HELPED ME GET THROUGH
ONE MORE DAY. THIS IS
HAPPENING WITH
AFFILIATES ACROSS THE
COUNTRY.
RENEE HAS SET UP SIGNS
AT OVER A DOZEN
LOCATIONS TO INSPIRE
THE PEOPLE WORKING
DAY IN, AND DAY OUT TO
FIGHT THE CORONAVIRUS.
THOSE ARE 100 PERCENT
DONATED! YEAH.
THAT'S JUST MY WAY OF
GIVING BACK TO THE
TREASURE VALLEY.
RENEE SAYS SETTING UP
