ComEd employee Genisses Vazquez and her 8-year-old son are helping others stay safe during the COVID-19 pandemic, one stitch at a time.
Together, they have made more than 700 face masks (and counting) and donated them to family members, neighbors and essential workers.
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the area, Vazquez’s son, who has asthma, was advised to wear a surgical mask to protect himself. While watching news stories on others making face masks at home, Vazquez and her son were inspired to buy materials and start making their own.
