She Sewed 100s Of Caps With Buttons To Secure Masks: Patch Hero

EAST HAVEN, CT — 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 Barbara Loesche who nominated her friend hair stylist Beth Tramontano.

Name of the nominee:
Beth Tramontano

Is the nominee considered an “essential worker”?:
No

What does the nominee do for work?:
Hair Stylist

Why do you believe the nominee should be recognized or honored?
Her salon is closed and rather than feeling sorry for herself, she has made hundreds of headbands and surgical caps with buttons to hook face masks onto to relieve the pressure the elastic makes on ears of nurses, doctors and basically anyone in the medical field. Not only did she sew hundreds, but donated all to anyone who could use them.

What’s one thing you want everyone to know about your hero?:
Extremely generous with a very kind heart.
