Student makes masks for those who are deaf or hard of hearing: via LEX18News
WOODFORD COUNTY, Ky. — A college senior from Versailles put her stir-craziness to good use with a project that will help the deaf and hard of hearing community.
"I felt like there was a huge population that was being looked over," Lawrence said."We're all panicking right now and so a lot of people are just not being thought of. So, I felt like it was very important that, even at a time like this, people need to have that communication.""We started out making them with bed sheets that we had, and luckily bed sheets are big," Lawrence said."So we have two or three sets so we're making them out of that.
She explained the necessity for the plastic window on the masks is why she started this project in the first place.
