Mark your calendars—Nurses Week is coming up May 6-12, and we couldn’t let it pass without taking a moment to say thank you.
To the nurses who show up every single day and handle life’s hardest moments with so much grace—you truly amaze us. I don’t even know where to begin. (I’m the one who can’t even look at blood!)
Throughout my life, I’ve crossed paths with so many incredible nurses—in hospitals, labor and delivery, post-op, NICU, and beyond. Many of you are friends, board members, and new connections who instantly leave a lasting impression. The compassion, strength, and calm you bring into every situation is something so special.
I’ll never forget during COVID—we had just launched San Antonio in a Box only four months before. It was such a wild time, and we found ourselves sending boxes all the way to NYC for Texas nurses who stepped up to help. Watching these selfless individuals jump in without hesitation felt like witnessing a real-life superpower.
I remember asking a friend, “How did you know to do that?”
Her response stuck with me: “We don’t even think—we just know we need to be there to help save lives.”
That kind of heart is rare. And it deserves to be celebrated.
This Nurses Week, we encourage you to take a moment—send a text, tag a nurse, or simply say thank you. A little appreciation goes a long way.
If you’re looking for a meaningful way to show your gratitude, we’ve created Nurses Week gift boxes filled with local San Antonio favorites (Casa Chocolate Bar, Special Leaf Tea, Al's Gourmet Trail Mix, Alamo City Churro Popcorn, Cookies Cookies Alamo, and Capistrano Hand Cream). We offer same-day delivery and can also customize boxes to make your gift even more personal.
Let’s show up for those who always show up for us. 💙
