- [Reporter] To help fightthe spread of COVID-19,

Tammy Roussel's sewing bytouch company Mitsy Kit,

is making free face masksfor the visually impaired

and disabled who cannot afford them.

- Our goal is to do good, have faith,

and praise God.

- [Reporter] Tammy saysthe idea for the Mitsy Kit

came after her mom Mitsy

started losing her eyesight

and couldn't enjoy herlifelong love of sewing.

When Tammy and Mitsy workedon projects together,

it did much more than giveher mother a creative outlet.

- It brought us closer in asense of feeling like we were,

it was like a connection, right?

A connection we didn't have before.

- [Reporter] That's because for years,

their relationship was strained.

It escalated when Tammygot pregnant at 15.

- I've never felt rejection

like the day when I wastold by my mother and father

that they wouldn't support me

unless I got an abortion.

And so I finally went through with it

and was sick, was devastated

and felt like I had done the worst thing,

that God would never forgive me.

- [Reporter] Tammy had adaughter two years later

but she carried that guilt and rejection

well into her adult life.

- I think a lot of it relates

to that fear of rejection,

fear of failure,

feeling like you might disappoint someone.

- [Reporter] But in her early 30s,

God gave her a new outlook on life.

- As awful as I felt aboutwhat I had done in my life,

that christ gave his life

and I didn't deserve it,

I didn't deserve it

but he forgave me.

He just lifted theburden of guilt and pain

that I had carried with me since a child.

- [Reporter] But itwasn't until years later

that Tammy was able toforgive her parents.

By then, her dad had passed

and a congenital eye disease

was robbing her mother of her eyesight.

- I just saw the fear and the pain

that she was going through,

realizing that she was going to lose

a lot of independence

and didn't know what to do.

And so I started seeing her

I think through God's eyes,

as his child,

and I started having compassion.

- [Reporter] Tammy triedto find different ways

to grow closer to her, like quilting.

But with Mitsy's eyesight almost gone,

her sewing days were coming to an end,

or so it seemed.

- One day, I was justwalking through a craft store

and God just put in my head,

try putting tactile borders on the fabric.

And it was like themost amazing thing ever

because it just came out of nowhere.

- [Reporter] Using precut fabrics

and ribbons along the borders,

Tammy made it possiblefor her mother to sew,

even though she couldn't see.

- The joy on her face

when she was able to sew again

and her tenacity,

she was always telling me,

I'm out of work, I'm out of work

because she would sew so fast.

Not only did it give hersomething meaningful to do

but others saw the value in it.

And so I think she felt others

were seeing the value in her.

- [Reporter] Seeing the difference

it made in her mother's life,

Tammy launched Mitsy Kit.

100% of profits are donated to charity

and it employs the visually impaired.

- The best thing ever

is when they look atyou and they tell you,

I can't believe I did it.

It's like this amazingsense of joy that they have.

- [Reporter] Today,

as it helps familyconnect with loved ones,

Tammy knows that God is blessing everyone

through each project.

- When you look what God allows you to do

in partnership with these people

and the joy that you get from it,

it's just unexplainable.
