Manisha Jain
DOVER, MA- In March 2020, when people’s lives came to a standstill, Manisha Jain’s took flight in a whole new direction. Having recently quit her educational career of two decades, pondering on what was in store for her, Ms. Jain was faced with the threat of a virus that had seemed so far away, become very real and close.
In response to a post on Facebook by Emerson Hospital asking for homemade masks for their staff with detailed instructions, Ms. Jain took the first step on a journey to starting her own charitable initiative, Sew We Care, that was instrumental in donating close to 25,000 pieces of homemade PPE to local hospitals and organizations.
