Meet sixth grader Alex Henderson, who helped provide masks to first responders. It was a deed so good that it was recognized by the Washington Capitals and Garnet Hathaway himself.
The 12 year old came up with the idea once the novel coronavirus began to spread. With the help of his mom sewing, Henderson traced and cut the pattern of the mask. Some of the patterns are colorful while others have the Caps logo on it.
First the two made 50 masks but as demand rose it grew to over 1,000.
