College Student Makes Masks For The Deaf And Hard Of Hearing

College senior, Ashley Lawrence from Versailles put her self-distancing to great use with a project that caters to those who are deaf and hard of hearing.

Due to the virus, Lawrence is living back at home and student teaching from home. She is currently studying education for the deaf and hard of hearing at Eastern Kentucky University.

Find out how this amazing idea came to be below.

To order one of Lawrence’s masks, reach out to her at dhhmaskproject@gmail.com.

“I’m not charging anything for them because I think that if you need them, then you need them and I don’t think that you should have to pay for them,” Lawrence said. “So we are sending them out for free whenever we have people asking for them and if they’re foreign, then maybe we’ll charge shipping, but other than that they’re completely free.”

Those who would like to help Lawrence with the cost of materials and shipping, she is accepting donations on her GoFundMe page.
