Masks donated to Bellingham hospital mean more than protecting staff from coronavirus
Christy Austin says when her mother, Ervena Yu, gets an idea in her head, “she won’t stop — she’ll work on it day and night until she’s done.”
In this case, it was probably a good thing for her mother — almost cathartic.
How else could she possibly put aside the grief of losing her husband of more than 64 years, Dr. Ming Ho Yu?
And what better way to honor his memory than to sew protective masks for the doctors and nurses at St. Joseph’s hospital in Bellingham that cared for her husband in his final days, as they prepare to face one of their greatest challenges during the coronavirus pandemic?
Over the past two-plus weeks Austin and Ervena Yu donated more than 100 handmade, reusable masks to the hospital in Dr. Yu’s memory.
