Seventeen year old, Jo Gratz is on a mission. Unable to participate in the ordinary activities teenagers usually do, Jo has decided to put her talents to good use during the COVID-19 crisis; sewing cloth masks from home.
“My mom taught me how to sew when I was four or five,” she said. “I saw a call online for masks and thought, I can do that in my afternoons or evenings. It’s not a hardship to me and it might make a difference to someone else.”
Jo is an incredible example of young people stepping up to support our community during this time. Read the full story by clicking the button below.
