Not all heroes wear capes. 10-year-old Aldrich Intermediate student SaMera Richardson is spending her time at home during the coronavirus/COVID-19 disruption learning to sew and make face masks that she donated to the Beloit Fire Department. “My mom used to be a first responder and I like how they always help people no matter what’s going on,” she said. “They care for us so we should always care for them.” Richardson said the masks only take 10 minutes to make. “I use Disney characters and other cartoon characters because that makes everyone smile,” Richardson said. “I like to design clothes and have my own style.” Interim Beloit Fire Chief Daniel Pease said the department donated the masks to other community members due to the strict federal guidelines for personal protective equipment for first responders. They require N95 surgical masks or similar equipment.
