Lila Hartley wrote a letter advocating for a mask mandate to keep her brother and other children like him safe, saying “masks save lives, that’s a fact.”
When 12-year-old Lila Hartley heard her school district was not going to be requiring masks this school year as coronavirus cases were soaring in her home state of Florida, she thought of her 10-year-old brother, Will, who can’t get vaccinated yet.
“Me and my brother are siblings, so we have our fights, but I love him and I'd hate for him and any other child who can't get vaccinated to get sick or die,” she told NBC News. “You've been seeing a lot of kids who can't get vaccinated or who are unvaccinated and have been like really vulnerable end up in hospitals or dying, and it’s terrible.”Lila Hartley with her brother, Will, and father, Matt.
“Masks are important so we can continue to enjoy in-person school and not have to hurt families and staff by this terrible virus,” she wrote.
