DEERFIELD, IL — 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 Susan Stein, who nominated Paul and Karen Schur, of Deerfield.

What: Business

Reason for recognition: They made shields for health care people with their own 3D printer when PPE was not available in the beginning

One thing to know: They just took this on at their own expense and gave the shields away for free.
