for them, I have been asking them to buy additional fabric or elastic or twill tape (both of which are getting hard to find) for more masks or to donate dollars which I will use to buy more

grandmother and aunt taught me to sew doll clothes by hand when I was very young and then, as I got older, I started sewing on a machine, making clothes and other crafts for myself and family and friends,\u201d said McKinney, assistant to University of Tennessee at Chattanooga Chancellor Steve Angle.<\/p>\n<p>Now she is using that skill to help others in Southeast Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>Since the end of March, McKinney\u2014who graduated from UTC in 1985 with a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance\u2014has been sewing medical masks for healthcare workers at Hearth Hospice of Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>Her cousin, Chara McLaughen, is a physician assistant and clinical liaison for the hospice\u2019s office in Cleveland, Tenn., asked McKinney if she would make some, too.<\/p>\n<p>McLaughen said there are moments when it\u2019s frightening to work with terminally ill patients while the virus and all its danger is on your mind.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s been one of

isn\u2019t something we can stress about,\u201d she said. \u201cWe have to remember all we learned about taking care of people in any situation like this and do our best job to stay safe and do our best job to care for these high-risk patients.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do know is we serve a much greater God than this virus, and we have to daily bring our fear and worry to Him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McKinney said there is no set number for how many masks needed to be sewn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs many as I can make, they can use,\u201d she said. \u201cTheir staff will be able to use these as they serve on the frontlines during this pandemic healthcare crisis and also into the future as they prepare for the rise in COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey serve a fragile community and
