#Repost @anaheimunion ・・・ Kindness Matters: #Repost @anaheimunion ・・・ Kindness Matters: Lilian Cho, an Amazing AUHSD Student! Lilian Cho, a junior at Cypress High School, took it upon herself to start making hand-made face masks. Realizing that her grandmother and mother had underlying health conditions, she researched the best and safe masks to wear and was on her way. In addition, she wanted to make masks available to those who needed them most: the elderly, people at risk, and most importantly, our first responders. Lilian made hundreds, which she donated to Cypress Police Department, the Cypress Senior Center, Senior Living facilities, and friends. Lilian also made meal donations to the OC Rescue Mission and dropped off masks to their facilities for the homeless. In July, she designed a "wear your mask" button to start an awareness campaign in her community. She designed and had made 1,000 buttons. She also purchased 1,000 disposable masks, packaged them up, and passed them out to her Cypress Community, including fire departments, community centers, neighborhood business, and residential communities. Lilian has spent countless hours on these projects and deserves to be recognized by her community. Way to go, Lilian! #kindnessonebillion
