Sandy got the idea to make the masks when she saw there was a need. Senior living communities have difficulty purchasing personal protective
“I was thinking that there are so many stories of friends and families of senior living residents trying to communicate with the people living in the communities,” said Curtis Jones, sales and marketing director at Lawrence Presbyterian Manor. “But there aren’t any stories of people living in senior living communities communicating to people outside of the campus. Our residents may just have something they want to say to the world.”

Sandy Brooks sews for our safety Our community has been blessed with a number of volunteers who have sewn masks to keep our staff safe through the pandemic, with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in short supply. One seamstress is a familiar face around our campus. Sandy Brooks, a dining staff member for 10 years, has made 100 masks! “I really enjoyed making them. When I saw everyone wearing them, it just lit up my eyes. It made me feel really good that I could make them and donate them,” said Sandy.
