3D Printed Masks with UNM and Cosmiac
My name is Laura Shaffer, I am a flight nurse in Albuquerque NM. About 3 weeks ago, I had a potential exposure to Covid-19 at work. The main take away from that exposure was the lack of PPE in the surrounding areas, including the Native American Reservations.
I have teamed up with an incredible group of people and we are now 3D printing masks and face shields. We have 1000 masks and hundreds of face shields ready to be delivered to the Reservations in the next couple days.
These masks are being given out for free. Many people who are spending time to sterilize and package these masks are nurses. These nurses are working their full time jobs and then volunteering their time with us cutting and packaging masks for those less fortunate. I would like to be able to:
1) Buy tokens of appreciation (meals, stickers, T-shirt’s, coffee etc.) for the wonderful people donating their time for this project
2) Buy the necessary supplies to continue providing masks and faceshields to those in need
Every dollar given will go to this project, and I want you all to know that I thank you in advance. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated also.
