Sisters Kim Coates (left, above) and Liz Willis (right) are co-founders of KIZZI Dancewear in Austin, Texas. They typically make dance costumes, yet have quickly shifted production and now make cloth masks to protect medical workers (and anyone else at risk) to reduce the spread of coronavirus. They ask for a voluntary $8 to $10 donation to cover production and shipping costs, yet no request for a mask will be denied. They have fulfilled orders for as few as two masks and also orders for thousands of masks. This program began March 24th, the same day that the Austin mayor ordered "Shelter in Place."
