A WOMAN who received 150 Amazon packages on her doorstep by mistake has revealed the heartwarming thing she did next.

Jillian Cannon, from New York, was left stunned after the barrage of boxes kept being delivered to her house labelled with her address in June 2021.

She initially thought the packages were supplies her business partner ordered, but as dozens continue to pile up on her doorstep, she knew something was afoot.  

She told CNN: "When I first started receiving the packages, I called Amazon to try and give them back.

“But they explained to me that they were officially mine to keep since they had been delivered to my home.

"But because all of the items were the same, I was sure that wasn’t the case here."

Jillian said the boxes contained thousands of silicone support frames used to make face masks and assumed the order had been a clerical error.

"So, my business partner and I reached out to the children's hospitals and we decided we want to do a decorate-your-own-face mask and include the bracket in the little kit with a blank face mask and some crayons and stickers that kids can work on while they're in the hospital."

To make matters better, the duo asked Amazon to donate the rest of the supplies and the company agreed.

Reports suggest her handiwork was later donated to a local children hospital.

“It’s kind of taken on this own little life of its own and it’s really cool that people want to be able to give back and do something,” she concluded.

“It’s just crazy how it all kind of happened.”
