De la Parra used to make teachers gowns, but school closings during the pandemic left her without a job. She took it upon herself to make teddy bears out of clothing from those who died of COVID-19 to give those who are still alive a chance to grieve and be closer to those they were unable to bid farewell to.Ginnette Riquelme/APShow MoreShow Less
