Dougherty ’20 Helps Neighbors During Pandemic

“I read in the news that elderly people are having trouble getting the supplies they need because they’re worried about risking contamination by going to the grocery store, so when Bailey and I struck up a conversation with our elderly neighbor Vivienne, it just popped into my head to ask her if she needed anything. It was pretty adorable, actually – all she needed was carrots and some potatoes, but she was really thankful and asked me to call her this week to see if there’s anything else she needs. After that we thought, I wonder if anybody else would take us up on this, so we wrote little notes and stuck them in our other older neighbors’ mailboxes. It’s just a nice little way to help out in this weird and somewhat isolated time we’ve found ourselves in.”

– Ali Dougherty ’20 (Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre)
