Two weeks ago we made our first delivery of 80 face shields to San Mateo Medical Center, a public hospital. The next day we posted on NextDoor asking for volunteers thinking we would get 3-5 responses but we got an outpouring of support from over 50 volunteers!
Fast forward 14 days (a total blur!), thanks to your compassion and tireless efforts, we have made a considerable impact in our bay area community.
We have delivered over 1,000 face masks and 1,100 face shields! We have extended our volunteer footprint to the South-bay and Peninsula as well as helping set up groups in other parts of the country. To date we have raised over $12K in donations to fund the purchase of supplies.
Perhaps above all, we have demonstrated to our children, friends and neighbors that our spirit can not be shaken by this crisis but rather only strengthened by pulling together as a community. All of this while supporting those who are always there for us. The doctors, the nurses, the EMTs, the Police and Fire department song all the other frontliners.
What's next? We will deliver a lot more PPEs to where our frontline heroes who urgently need our support. Please consider contributing to our GoFundMe account to help fuel our efforts!
