Makes Masks For 'The Health Of Her Community': Boulder Hero

BOULDER, CO — 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 Glenn Fell, who nominated his wife, Lisa Fell:

Where the nominee lives:
Boulder

Name of the nominee:
Lisa Fell

What does the nominee do for work?:
Lisa lost her job due to the shop where she worked closing due to the Coronvirus crisis

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Lisa has spent many hours over the past few weeks making washable, reusable face masks and providing them free to the general public. She hangs them in ziploc bags on a tree in front of our apartment building with a sign indicating the mask are free and people walking by can take one. So far she had provided more than 50 masks this way and is still making more masks.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Lisa does this out of a heart of concern for the health of those who cannot afford to buy a mask and for the health of her community. Lisa does this even though she herself is out of work.

Thank you for all you do, Lisa!
