The Bronx is one of the hardest-hit areas in New York City's fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, and their ER Nurses, CNAs, and ancillary staff need your help!
** Please note that we've removed the name of the hospital as well specifics regarding equipment needed after one of the RNs received feedback from colleagues. If you have any questions, please, please contact us! We will post updates regularly, including a detailed accounting of expenses and purchases so that you know where your donation is going. **
Every day, these heroes work tirelessly to save the lives of the neverending stream of patients who've been struck with coronavirus.
Unfortunately, these hardworking men and women don't have the necessary protection they need to stay safe as they save lives so that they can continue to save lives. Because of the current conditions and lack of availability of equipment to them, they must reuse PPE for days when, under normal circumstances, this equipment is for one-time use.
And the unprecedented strain placed upon New York City as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic means these nurses, aides, and patient care techs are dealing with short-staffed shifts with personnel already stretched incredibly thin. The last thing our nurses and other hospital staff should need to worry about is access to serviceable protective equipment.
Any donation to this GoFundMe campaign will go directly to support and purchase necessary equipment for the RNs, LPNs, CNAs, PCTs, and ancillary staff working in one of the Emergency Department in the Belmont area of The Bronx.
Our goal is to make sure every RN (47 day and night shift nurses), and CNA and PCT (32 in total), and every clerk who works in this hospital's ER department has the protection they need to work safely!
If you have access to equipment and would rather donate in-kind directly to these health heroes on the front lines of the COVID-19 pandemic, please get in touch with us to coordinate drop-off with one of the ER team members.
We'll post updates to the campaign as we source, purchase, and distribute the resources we acquire!
Thank you so much for your support! The money for this fundraising effort will be disbursed directly to one of the RNs who is leading the effort to acquire and distribute the resources her team needs. We'll be posting updates, photos, and detailed information about withdrawals and purchases as we go along!
