“My husband is immune-compromised, so as a teacher, I’m a little anxious about going back to school. I saw a picture of something similar float across a teacher page that I’m in and asked my husband to make it for me,” Martin told Storyful.
Her husband has so far built 45 dispensers and is selling them for $30 each.
She said that the people purchasing them are primarily teachers that will also use them in their classrooms. “I plan on putting mine outside of my classroom door for my kiddos,” she added.
