Sometimes our heroes look like Maggie Hehn, who traveled from her home in Plant City to New York City in order to join the fight against COVID-19 at one of the most affected areas in the United States. Hehn has been working as a disaster nurse at the Coney Island Hospital since late March and chronicling her experiences on social media. You can read her thoughts and see her photos on her Facebook page and her Instagram (@maggiehehn). But they’re not always on the front lines of the pandemic. Plenty of heroes are people who have gone above and beyond in their day-to-day lives to make life a little easier or better for the rest of us during these uncertain times.
