Platte River Bard Podcast

We talk with Nurse Practitioner of Joyful Heart House Calls, and Founder of Nebraska Hands and Feet Facebook Group.  Jenni lives in Plattsmouth, Nebraska and has been a true "helper" during the these times of crisis.  Her Facebook group exploded overnight, and people who sew, or those who decided they would learn to sew, came together and have been making masks for those in need and our most vulnerable.  Join us for a touching and heartfelt conversation with Jenni, who is truly a remarkable human being.
