Face Masks Made With Love: Temecula Local Hero

TEMECULA, CA — When times are tough, heroes emerge. We all know someone who's making a difference right now as we live through unprecedented and changing times.

Here at Patch, we've launched an initiative to help recognize these heroes making a difference in their communities. Together with Ring, we're working to let all your neighbors know about these outstanding people and their stories.

This submission comes from Sandy Duncan who nominated her friend, Pam Babek:

Name: Pam Babek

Home town: Temecula

Hero's job: Volunteer

If other, job: Pam organized wishersanddreamers.org, a nonprofit that makes hospital doll gowns for kids in the hospital.

Relationship to nominee: Friend

Reason for recognition: Wishersanddreamers.org and their volunteers have donated over 18,000 masks to local hospitals and at-risk people. All masks are made with love by volunteers that Pam has engaged. So many masks and hospital doll gowns donated. She deserves recognition.

One thing to know: She is generous to a fault.

Thank you for all you do, Pam!
