After the CDC recommended wearing face masks when out in public the demand for them was very high and so was the need for homemade face masks. College Student and Mom Hunter Boorigie started making face masks with donated material for anyone needing or wanting a mask. Her post on social media spread quickly, and before she knew she had made over 600 masks and has given all of them away for free. Boorigie says that helping is the right thing to do,especially in this situation.

The threat of the virus hits close to home for Boorigie as her daughter Keeva has a bad kidney, and is very susceptible to any little infection or virus. So she knows how important it is to take all precautions to keep everyone as safe as possible. That is why she is being recognized as a Romans Chevrolet Buick and KGGF Hometown Hero.
