Our most beloved former New England Patriots tight end, Rob Gronkowski, and his model girlfriend, Camille Kostek, have generously donated 10,000 medical-grade KN95 masks to help with the growing need of medical supplies, during the current pandemic of coronavirus.

The couple donated locally to Boston Medical Center, but also provided the high in-demand masks to St. Joseph’s University Medical Center. Camille appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated last year, and the editor of the publication, MJ Day is married to a physician at St. Joseph's.

Day took to Instagram to share this message, and a photo of the letters the couple wrote, sent with a mask:

"What Camille and Rob have done for this hospital, the caregivers, the patients, and the community made me cry tears of joy. It’s been restorative to my faith that we can make a difference no matter how big or small. It shows me that the type of people that I get to work with care about me and you just as much as we care about them.”

I'm sure all the medical professionals at The BMC appreciate this incredible act of kindness and caring.
