Rakuten: A Gift of Joy - ep 3

This time, my good friend Sue Bird helps me give a big gift to a COVID-19 volunteer doctor, Kakra. Kakra is the sole provider of her two young children and simultaneously works to pay off her medical school loans. However, even with all this responsibility, she still decided to show up on the front line during this pandemic and help test members of disenfranchised communities for free as a volunteer for MyCovidMD. Check out her story. This one is emotional so make sure you’re ready! “A Gift of Joy” is a four-part series in partnership with Rakuten that showcases deserving individuals across the country who have been impacted by the pandemic. These individuals volunteer at local organizations, dedicating their time and resources to help their communities. In the series, Stephen enlists the help of a few close friends to pass on the gift of joy – WNBA Champion and Olympic Gold Medalist Sue Bird, award-nominated actress Storm Reid, and restaurateur, chef and New York Times bestselling author, Ayesha Curry.
