RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) - At only 16-years-old, Powhatan resident Conner Jeffs wanted to do his part to help end the COVID-19 pandemic after hearing testimonies from his extended family on the frontlines of the disease.
“My uncle is a doctor in Minnesota and my cousin is a nurse up in Baltimore, so I’ve hear stories of how they’ve experienced the pandemic in hospitals and in the intensive care units what the patients are going through and it just sucks hear that,” Jeffs said. “We’re all in this together, that’s what we’ve been saying at school.”
