Initial closure of all Hospitals and Aged Care Facilities
The decision to close hospitals to visitors was a step taken to ensure the safety and health of staff, immunodeficient and vulnerable members of our community. Both closures impacted my ability to visit family members and while this was difficult, I understood the importance of introducing these measures given the circumstances of the pandemic. And additionally, appreciated that in response to these changes, the facilities introduced various means of staying connected with loved ones. -

Selfie in my mask making area
This is my makeshift mask making area. I can take credit for only about 10 of them but as of today the mask sewing group I am a part of has sewn 675 masks for people in 4 different states, for elder care facilities, homeless people and a juvenile psychiatric facility. The group is made up of members of the Unitarian Universalist Church of Spartanburg. You can see pipe cleaners and floral wire for nose pieces and elastic for ear bands plus my ever present Mio energy drink to keep going! Our group trades material like fabric, wires and elastic as shortages of these items affect one member or another.
