A nurse in a hospital in Melbourne, Australia and an internationally-popular children’s music group teamed up to help a very special Covid patient, and a heartwarming video sharing their story is going viral on social media.

Sarah Kelly, a 22-year-old young woman with Down Syndrome, was hospitalized with Covid-19. She was having trouble breathing, but she was scared of the “nasal prongs,” a type of mask that was needed to give her supplemental oxygen.

“That’s what we needed, for her to stay alive,” intensive care nurse Steven Moylan told Melbourne’s 10 News First. Worried about his patient’s health going downhill, he had an idea.

Kelly was “absolutely obsessed” with The Wiggles, Moylan said, and had shown him videos saved on her iPad. He reached out to the group and they agreed to help.
