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 sheӰרs donating to health care workers and the public.
Her efforts were detailed on a recent ӰרCBS This MorningӰר episode that featured Ӱרvideo diariesӰר about peopleӰרs 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 Ӱרthe new normal,Ӱר 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 Ӱרglad IӰרm 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.Ӱר
She also recently launched a Facebook page called ӰרSewing with SavoieӰר to provide free face masks or sewing materials for people who want to make their own.
