Holly Balcom, 54, hugs her daughter Kelsea Mensh, 22, as they reunite at their home in Dumfries, Va., Wednesday, April 1, 2020, after Mensh, who had served a year in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic, finished her 2 week quarantine period. After evacuating her from her post, the Peace Corps put Mensh up in a hotel in her hometown to self-isolate so that she wouldn't cause any risk to her mother, who is a cancer survivor and has viral induced asthma. Though she is grateful to have been evacuated, &quot;I didn't get to say goodbye,&quot; says Mensh, who is very worried about the community she had to leave in the Dominican Republic, &quot;I told my mother that in tears and we both started to cry. She said, 'I didn't get to say goodbye to the children here either.'&quot; Balcom is a fourth grade teacher. (AP Photo/Jacquelyn Martin)
