Lisa Horning-Marrone of Frederick is a 34-year-old mother of five who gave birth to a boy April 7. Lisa’s concerns about her pregnancy and giving birth during the COVID-19 crisis grew throughout her 39 weeks of pregnancy. She left home only for doctor’s visits and let her husband, Rob, make trips for groceries and other necessities.
Their 3-year-old autistic daughter’s therapy has come to a stop during the governor’s stay-at-home orders. The family has health insurance, but no paycheck because her husband lost his job as a sound engineer after his company closed its doors amid the pandemic.
