Summary
Since the outbreak of COVID-19, thousands of people around the world have been working on a solution to the shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and respiratory ventilators. While producing low-cost 3D printed ventilators may be weeks or months away, manufacturing PPE is not. Joseph Prusa of the Czech Republic produced an open-source face shield that can be produced through 3D printing and injection molding. These face shields have been approved by health officials in Europe, and in American cities like Dallas. I believe that Beaufort, as one of the poorest counties in the state, should be next in line for receiving these donations.  


What your donation will cover (production cost): 
$0.36 (Printed Part) + $0.30 (Plastic Protective Sheet)

GOAL: Provide needed amount of Face Shields to Beaufort and Pitt County within the next 2 weeks
1 Face Shield: $0.64
5 Face Shields: $3.20 (Recommended)
10 Face Shields: $6.40
20 Face Shields: $12.80
25 Face Shields: $16.00
50 Face Shields: $32.00
