But they knew they wanted to give back to their community, says their mom, Saeeda Nasreen.
With personal protective equipment scarce at the time, the brothers, 18 and 14, settled on making masks. The only issue? Again, like most kids, they didn’t know how to sew.
Nasreen helped them get started at the sewing machine and soon, they weren’t so bored anymore. Orders began pouring in from the Southlake area and beyond.
