Our Wednesday, May 13th Hometown Hero is Anna Nguyen of Lexington. Anna was nominated by her customer and friend, Diane. Diane says, “Anna works at the salon at Dillard’s Fayette Mall and had an idea to reach out to the local nail salon owners to see if they would donate their masks and gloves to local hospitals. Anna coordinated the effort and was able to donate 18,000 gloves and 1,300 masks to Saint Joseph-East and 3,000 masks and 20,000 gloves to the UK Med Center. In addition Anna, has sewn hundreds of cloth masks which she has given to local nursing homes. She has posted signs in her neighborhood that she will give free masks to anyone over age 65. Anna has worked until 3am many days to sew all of the masks.”
