Christine Danderand knows firsthand just how challenging coronavirus can be. This past October, the Nebraska-based makeup artist, her husband, and their daughter all contracted COVID-19.
Thankfully, the family is recovering and no one was hospitalized, but Danderand also gained keen personal insight about the demands on frontline pandemic workers from a source that’s close to home: Her mother is a registered nurse who deals with COVID patients on a day-to-day basis.
As long hours and unrelenting pressure began taking their heavy emotional toll on her mom, Danderand knew she had to do something to help.
