Wow. Just, wow.
When we started this initiative we knew that with an uncertain road ahead, masks, gowns and gloves for frontline workers were going to quickly run out. This is a terrifying reality for many hospitals and healthcare institutions around the world fighting against COVID-19.
Immediately, our Founder & CEO @joannaknix launched a GoFundMe campaign to help purchase and distribute PPE to frontline workers.
Our aim is to help bridge inventory gaps until larger government programs are put in place.
Our initial goal was $50,000. Within 3 days, the campaign surpassed $80,000 in donations. We are absolutely overwhelmed by your response.
Thank you, thank you one hundred times.
Your donations have gone towards purchasing 50,000 masks and 50,000 gloves for 50 different hospital partners who have submitted requests for equipment.
We’ve already shipped out two donations so far— a shipment of N95 masks to a major hospital, and the other (gloves) to a non-profit that provides housing and healthcare to members of our community that are HIV positive.
But we still have a lot more work to do.
We’ll continue to accept donations and upping the campaign goal as long as we have access and are able to continue distributing supplies.
If you’d like to help us donate PPE to frontline healthcare workers, please check out and share our campaign.
