11-Year-Old Makes, Donates Protective Masks

An 11-year-old in Wexford is making protective masks and donating them to churches and others in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Ava Arnold has made about 150 masks, which she designed and makes out of T-shirts, string and pipe cleaners.

“I’ve always liked to do crafts and stuff like that, so this is just supposed to be a little craft so I can make a mask for my mom, but it turned into a big thing and I had fun doing it,” Arnold said.
