I started using my sewing skills and resources to make protective masks to make N95 masks last longer. I joined the Stitched Together 脸谱网 Group - in two weeks time, independent sewistas from their home have sewn and delivered 10,000 masks to health professionals and first responders and other at risk citizens.

My goal is to show that any skill can be helpful, and I will continue sewing masks from my home to help combat this virus. This is a historic event that requires exceptional response from every citizen, and I am in awe of the bravery of the front line of nurses and doctors and other health care providers and honoring them.
