When Slovakia faced critical mask shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic, Zdena Nemethyova picked up her sewing machine and sparked a nationwide movement. This everyday hero launched a Facebook group called 'Sewing masks' 🧵, rallying 2,000 volunteers to create over 11,000 homemade masks for seven hospitals!
'I felt guilty I wasn\'t doing enough,' Zdena told reporters, her hands busy cutting fabric. Her group now collaborates with local web portals to streamline requests – proving you don\'t need superpowers to save lives, just thread and determination 💪.
From grandmothers to college students, Slovakia\'s DIY warriors transformed living rooms into mini-factories. Their story reminds us that global crises are fought one stitch at a time – and sometimes, the real MVPs wear aprons instead of capes 🦸♀️.
