When forced to wear a mask in store our daughter put it on and walked from the car to the store and began to feel dizzy. We continued and a minute later she began to say mom I am going to pass out.

She expressed much gratitude and relief that those particular teachers allowed her to do that. Age14LocationAsheville, NC
