Her Aunt Louise immediately volunteered to sew masks for IPPI support staff and has been donating regularly. Recently I told her we had a need for isolation gowns and she immediately volunteered to sew for us. She is donating her time and her materials. My uncle says she works all day on the things we need so that the people we support and their caregivers do not go unnoticed. Thank you so much Louise for making a difference in the lives of so many!
