The order has made her unable to see her 93-year-old mother, who has dementia and is staying at a local assisted living home. "The shelter in place went into effect and I was lost. I was a wreck," Ostrom said in an email to KCRA 3. "She, on the other hand has been fine. Doesn't know if it's been a day or a week or 5 minutes. For the first several days, I couldn't even get out of bed or get dressed. It was bad. So (I) created a daily schedule. I decided then and there that I would create a coloring sheet and put it out there for free for anyone and everyone needing a little something to do."Ostrom puts the pages online and also emails them to staff in charge of activities at the assisted living center. They then print them out and hand them out to the residents. Ostrom said she was told that her pages are displayed all over the center. "It has given a bit of light to folks who really needed it," Ostrom wrote. "But none more than me. I am going to keep creating one a day until I can go see my mom again!"| MORE | Click here to see more of Ostrom's work
