CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — Ms. Maria C. Gonzalez, from San Diego, Texas, started sewing face masks just one week ago, following a tutorial she saw on Facebook.
She originally made them for her daughter-in-law who travels to several rural communities for meals on wheels.
"That is the reason I donated these," Gonzalez said. "They go to Sinton, Falfurrias, everywhere. So to me, I thought they had to be protected. A little bit, not as much but a little bit," Gonzalez said.
She's made 80 so far, and she's now sharing them with her family and friends. Maria has even sent her masks as far as San Antonio where her daughter works at the International Airport. She says she intends to continue making them as long as her supplies don't run out.
