For those who have ever wondered "what can one person do?" this conversation is guaranteed to inspire--and to warm the heart as well. You'll meet Teresa Pepe, a New York woman who has put her business on hold to design and deliver life-saving personal protective equipment to front-line healthcare workers throughout the hard-hit New York metropolitan area. Now her innovative design is being downloaded and replicated around the world, including in countries most hard-hit by the Coronavirus pandemic.


For more on Teresa and her work, please visit http://www.creationsbyteresa.com/ and if you are on staff at a facility that needs face shields; would like to learn how to make the face shields yourself; or want to donate supplies to aid in the manufacture of these shields, please contact Teresa here: http://www.creationsbyteresa.com/contact-form.html. Last but not least, you can see Teresa's beautiful stationery work on Instagram @teresaspaperie
