Mask Making & Donations

The Story

Simply put, there are currently not enough effective masks for healthcare workers. This week I have had a pharmacist, a respiratory therapist, a nursing home administrator, and other local physicians ask if I had any spare masks. I have just enough for our staff with a few extras. The CDC and our Ohio leaders recommend that we use n95 masks (a highly effective filtering material) to protect against Covid-19, however these are even more limited than other masks. Our leaders are working hard on getting mass production of masks, in the meantime I believe we can help.

I have purchased a high quality filter material (similar or better than n95) & with your help we can make numerous masks that would go directly to our communities healthcare providers among other high risk people. As healthcare providers we have to balance helping others with protecting ourselves. We will do anything to help people, will you help us protect ourselves?
