From August to November 2020, a group of Dawson HS students partnered with AYLUS Pearland to raise money for Tuscany Village nursing home by selling homemade face masks. Several other AYLUS members contributed time and donated materials as well. We raised over $700 through sales and donated an additional $400 worth of masks to Pearland ISD schools. A total value of $1,100 were made by Mask Drive project.
With the money raised from sales, we purchased a brand-new iPad, HP 15.6-in laptop, and electronic companion cat for the nursing home residents and a gift basket for the staff. The items were sent to Tuscany Village Nursing Home on December, 9, 2020. The residents have been in quarantine for months due to COVID-19 and unable to see family and friends. These devices will bring joy and help the seniors connect with their loved ones, especially during this holiday season.
