Pocket Hugs with Afonso Creations — in the Hospital lobby today.

Local artist Jodi Afonso is on site today and tomorrow with her heartfelt “Pocket Hugs”, small resin hearts designed to be kept in your pocket as a reminder of love, hope, and connection. Inspired by her grandparents, Irene and Saul, Jodi created Pocket Hugs to “spread love, kindness, and positive messaging throughout our community.”

Jodi is also showcasing select artwork, with most proceeds generously donated back to the Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Foundation. If you’re nearby, stop by the lobby to say hello, pick up a Pocket Hug, and support local care.

Thank you, Jodi, for helping our community feel supported, one small hug at a time.
