Orlando – Once just for healthcare workers, face masks are now a part of everyday attire because of the coronavirus.But initially, they weren’t as easy to come by.
So one local woman said she found a way to put her skills to use and do her part to get results.“Honestly, if you talked to 19-year-old me and if you told her, ‘One day your sewing skills can actually help save peoples lives,’ she would’ve laughed at you,” said Ha’Ani Hogan.
Hogan is the Development and Marketing Manager for Downtown Arts District, but she’s found a second passion as a volunteer face mask maker.
She said as soon as the coronavirus pandemic came to Orlando, she knew she had to help.“Everyone tries to find a purpose or be altruistic in times of crisis,” said.
