PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) has become a new addition to most of our wardrobes. The global pandemic of COVID-19 has us all in pursuit to “flatten the curve” and eliminate the spread of this virus. The CDC has advised us all to wear a face mask anytime we leave our homes to go grocery shopping or even just for a walk around the block.

But with such a high demand for PPE, it has our healthcare workers struggling to find the medical-grade masks to keep themselves safe.

That’s when the revolution of mask making began and every amateur to expert sewer has picked up a needle and thread. People all over the world are sewing handmade masks for family and friends and are even donating them to people in need such as grocery and restaurant workers!

But one incredible woman is inspiring us all to do everything we can to limit the spread of coronavirus.

32-year-old Norfarrah Syahirah Shaar from Malaysia was born without her arms and adapts accordingly doing most everything with her feet. Yes, that includes sewing! Norfarrah had always wanted to learn how to use a sewing machine so she could make her own clothes.

With her passion for learning and loads of patience, Norfarrah learned how to use a sewing machine with her feet 8 years ago and has been sewing ever since.

But with medical staff desperate for PPE, Norfarrah and 34 of her colleagues made it their mission to help their town of Selangor, Malaysia. They’ve teamed up to sew PPE such as gowns and face masks for medical workers on the frontlines of COVID-19. Norfarrah said that each team member has a different role and explained,

“Someone will measure and cut the fabric, another will draw the polar, and someone else will sew the PPE. I can sew eight PPE gowns a day.”

Every volunteer is a piece in this heroic puzzle and Norfarrah is so honored to be apart of such an incredible program. Although the video of her astonishing talents has been viewed by thousands of people, Norfarrah knows the true reasons for her Nobel acts.

Norfarrah’s selfless spirits continue to help save lives and while protecting healthcare workers who are putting themselves at risk every day.

Norfarrah and her team of volunteers are committed to making sure everyone has the proper equipment in order to beat this virus. We could all agree that Nofarrah and her team are doing an outstanding job!

While this dark time in our world is sure to leave us feeling a bit defeated there are awe-inspiring people who give us immense hope.

Norfarrah is definitely one of those people and she’s overjoyed to make such a difference, saying,

“I feel proud to be part of this program, and this is the little thing we can do to help our health care workers,”

Her “little” acts are inspiring us all to do whatever we can to help our healthcare workers. Nothing can stop Norfarrah from changing the world and her story is truly remarkable.

We can’t thank Norfarrah and her other volunteers for their amazing acts!
