Our Medical Heroes desperately need supplies to fight
COVID-19.
We deliver supplies to them quickly, at times within hours.
All donations are backed by our fiscal sponsor OpenCollective. You can see the money we’ve received and how it’s been spent here.
Thousands of healthcare professionals are putting their lives at risk because they don’t have enough protective equipment.
We get protective supplies directly into the hands of those that need it the most ASAP.
Because sick medics can’t keep us safe.
Every Day Matters
Our goal is to quickly get masks to those on the front lines most in need - no matter how large or small their team is.
Despite news of huge shipments in the press, many teams across the country are short of supplies.
We try to provide enough to carry them over until the cavalry comes in with more PPE. That means within hours or days to teams that are on the verge of running out.
“We’ve been able to manage for now but are down to less than 20. But as a small business we can’t afford to buy in large quantities that many companies are asking for. ”
— Anon, Doctor, CA
“I have to wear the same N95 mask for a whole week until I can get a new one.”
— Jose, Nurse, NY
“…what your team is doing brings tears to my eyes. I was beginning to lost hope and I see at least some people still care”
