Kiya Tomlin, a fashion designer and the wife of Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin, has spent the last three weeks working tirelessly to produce face masks from her home.

Tomlin owns a store in Etna, Pennsylvania, and had already announced she was donating 20 percent of all sales to help fight the coronavirus, but she stepped up her efforts when she learned of a mask shortage among health care workers.

"It's hard to sit here and watch, and people that you know are risking their lives underprepared to take care of people and we are all worried about getting our hands dirty at the grocery store," Tomlin told Teresa Varley of Steelers.
