A care home in Illinois set up a Covid-19 safe hugging booth so senior residents could give loved ones a hug after spending months and months apart. This video is so heartwarming and a huge shout out the care home who did this because honestly sometimes we just need a hug and I would say in these times now more then ever getting a hug from a loved one has never felt so good!!
