My Daughter, the Hero
Cindy Gentry
My daughter is an intensive care pulmonologist, flung into the midst of this pandemic. She practices in Alabama, but went to New York City to volunteer as extra help during their extraordinary battle in the early days of the pandemic. She's had to work extra hours, take a pay cut, and endure extreme stress during this time.
The articles used in the collage were from the early days in the pandemic. They focused on how to live in this new isolation we were encountering, as well as fears of the virus.
