More Gavilan Faculty and Staff create masks for the NICU
It started when
Jackie Richburg, Career / Transfer Specialist at Gavilan College found out about the needs at California Pacific Medical Center, where her daughter is a Neonatologist. They needed cloth masks so parents could visit their newborns in the NICU. She reached out for volunteers to make the masks, and elastic to make them with.
Theater instructor John Lawton-Haehl offered to help with both. With fabric donations from family and friends, he generated 30 masks. One of his seamstress contractors,
Heather Murillo, is also donating her time and fabric to help with this project. Communication instructor
Kelly Alviso also created 15 masks (shown).
