Project PPE: Helping Our Doctors

UPDATE: This campaign is over. Through everyone's help, whether that was a donation or a share, we were able to raise enough money for the hospital to order two PAPR suits. The suits have been used every time when interacting with COVID patients. I hope everyone stays safe and social distances. Thanks!

Recently with all the news surrounding the coronavirus, many people have overlooked the people actually working on the front lines. Our doctors come in contact with patients every day, but recently there has been a shortage of basic supplies for hospitals. I wanted to start this fundraiser because our doctors risk their lives to help patients on a daily basis, but I've never considered who helps our doctors. The relationship between doctors and the communities they serve should be a two-way street. 

PPE stands for Personal Protection Equipment. Many of the basic supplies hospitals are running out of consist of masks, hand sanitizer, and gloves. Some doctors have no choice but to reuse these basic supplies, putting themselves at an even greater risk to help our communities. 




With the money raised from this, I'd like to purchase some of these basic supplies needed, such as hand sanitizer or gloves, to donate it to local hospitals. I'd like to make it clear that 100% of the money will be donated and I'll be making regular updates on my website and this campaign regarding progress. 

If you can't donate money, DO NOT WORRY. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could share this fundraiser and spread the word. There's power in numbers, which is why I'm asking you to help me share and contribute!
