Now that the CDC has recommended everyone wear a mask or a face covering when going into a populated area, the need for them is growing.
A 21-year-old student at Eastern Kentucky University decided to help out the deaf and hard of hearing by creating face masks that are usable for people who speak American Sign Language. Traditional masks are difficult for people who rely on ASL (American Sign Language), because facial expressions are imperative for communication.
The student, Ashley Lawrence, has received support on social media from celebrities like John Krasinski, who featured her on his Some Good News show. Plus, she's raised over $3,000 on her Go Fund Me to donate masks to the people who need them.
