Who Is
We Care Memorial
Wall Team?

We Care Memorial Wall team is committed to uncovering the truth behind the tragic events that unfolded in New York nursing homes during the COVID-19 pandemic under former Governor Cuomo’s administration. Our platform serves as a voice for the families who lost loved ones due to polices that failed to protect our most vulnerable citizens.

Our Mission & Vision

We are committed to exposing the truth behind former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s COVID-19 nursing home directive and the cover-up that followed. Our mission is to seek accountability for the thousands of lives lost, ensure full transparency, and preserve the memory of those who died. We envision a future where no public official can escape responsibility for decisions that cause irreparable harm—and where families receive the answers and justice they deserve.

We Care Memorial Wall Team Committee

We Care
Memorial Team

We are families who lost loved ones in the New York nursing home debacle due to ex-Governor Cuomo’s mismanagement of the COVID pandemic. Our mission is a non-political one; we only seek the truth. The data, numbers, facts, emails, logs, and proof of what happened. We want the true account about what happened to our loved ones while in the care of the New York Department of Health.

We call ourselves the COVID Orphans, the WE CARE Memorial Wall team, and the Nursing Home Justice League and we will not rest until our mission is accomplished.
