Social distancing can be especially difficult for those with hearing loss
who benefit from vital cues provided by face-to-face communication and are all too often already isolated in their social circles. CNN Hero Michelle Christie and her foundation No Limits for Deaf Children have moved their classes, therapy, and tutoring online, and have also created "Friday Friend Day" to help kids with hearing loss socialize remotely. Christie is one of several CNN Heroes sharing messages of encouragement and inspiration to people looking to do good during the coronavirus crisis. As food for thought, she invokes the immortal words of Helen Keller: "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much."
