Okay, well since Levi is six that’s probably not true, but he has definitely held his own in a family project that has grown from wanting to help out a few people to providing needed supplies for people all over the country.
When medical centers, hospital and emergency service providers began to experience shortages in masks Zumbrunnen, a trained nurse herself, realized that her family could contribute in a real way. She, her mom and her children are all skilled seamstresses thanks to years of 4-H and personal projects. They also already had experience sewing face masks from previously needing them because of a family member’s illness.
