'He Is Very Kind': Palm Desert Hero

PALM DESERT, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented times. Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these everyday heroes.

This submission comes from Donna K. of Palm Springs, who nominated Michael Holmes, also of Palm Springs:

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
Yes

What does the nominee do for work?:
Restaurant owner

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Reduced to curb side delivery only, Michael chose to close even that down. He turned the inside of his club into an assembly line for tracing and cutting materials to make gowns for our health care workers. He and a small group completed 3,700 gowns to be sewn for the CV Mask project.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
He is very kind

Thank you for all you do, Michael!
