“My heart is overjoyed to offer the least little bit of comfort during this nightmarish environment that we are living in. Although most of us cannot get the N95 mask that doctors and nurses wear, it’s helpful to have something to cover our mouths and noses to help mitigate the spread of the virus. I really wish I could do more, but the little that I do fills my soul with joy.”

There’s such a reward and benefit to doing that,” Paul said. “When I see people in need, especially when it comes to their health, I try to do anything I can to help them. We’re all in this world together, and it’s important to be there for one another.”
