Family and Friends Well Covered
Fairfield; California; United States
I am retired and a quilter. My hubby needed a mask to attend a medical appointment. Once I made his - I thought that family members who were elderly and/or sick would probably need one as well. I posted on our family Facebook page and within minutes had requests for 24 masks. I initially went to Joann's and purchased elastic, made the masks and mailed them. Once word got out - I had another request and made another 26. Last round was for 10 additional masks which I mailed off yesterday. So everyone in my family who needed one got one. Interesting - I initially contacted a friend who is an administrators at a major local hospital and they would not take them. Even though I showed her pictures of health care workers with picket signs based on the lack of PPEs. Two weeks later everyone needs and wants a mask. I'm blessed I was able to do my small part. I could have sold tons of masks but I could not bring myself to charge anyone for this.
