Christine Savoie has a knack for sewing. She also has a penchant for helping others.
The history graduate student from Crowley, La., has woven the hobby and altruism to create face masks she鈥檚 donating to health care workers and the public.
Her efforts were detailed on a recent 鈥淐BS This Morning鈥 episode that featured 鈥渧ideo diaries鈥 about people鈥檚 lives as they practice social distancing during the COVID-19 crisis. It featured an art historian, a therapist, an emergency room nurse and Savoie.
The segments formed a composite of 鈥渢he new normal,鈥 from the challenges of balancing home life and work, to the hardships of working in a hospital, and ways people are supporting others.
Savoie told CBS she is 鈥済lad I鈥檓 doing my part and can help others, especially since the (Centers for Disease Control) suggested that everyone who goes out in public wear a face mask.鈥
She also recently launched a Facebook page called 鈥淪ewing with Savoie鈥 to provide free face masks or sewing materials for people who want to make their own.
