Protect Our Heroes

EMERGENCY FUND/DONATIONS NEEDED !!!

I am a mother, wife and an ER doctor in the Los Angeles area fighting to save lives during this unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. We need your help to make it through this pandemic! 

We are seeing more and more Covid-19 patients every day in this area - each requiring a significant amount of resources to care for them and to protect others. The situation is serious and escalating. I see several of these patients every shift I work - many of them critically ill.

As the virus spreads rapidly throughout our community, many of my fellow doctors, nurses, hospital staff, EMS personnel and I are all running critically low on personal protective equipment (PPE) and other important supplies including but not limited to: 

- N95 masks (which are critical when caring for Covid-19 patients)
- surgical masks
- gowns
- eye protection
- face shields
- hand sanitizers
- sanitizing wipes/disinfectants 

We need your help to make it through this pandemic!

Please donate now to help us purchase critical PPE. We are also accepting donations of PPE products and/or connections to people or businesses with PPE supplies. As a community, we are all in this together, and every little bit counts!

Proper PPE is vital to keep our local healthcare heroes stay healthy and safe while treating patients; this will help stop the spread of this dangerous virus. I personally know of many local healthcare workers who have become sick from Covid-19, some are critically ill. 

Some local hospitals are down to a few months or even weeks of critical PPE items. Some local doctors have even been told to purchase their own - if they can find it. We cannot be in a situation where we are re-using masks for a week or more as is the case in some states.

Please help by donating emergency funds/PPE today! 

We have many connections with local EDs and hospitals that are running short on supplies or will be in the coming days and weeks. We also have connections to suppliers for these items. We pledge that your donations will go to fund PPE for local frontline heroes working to fight Covid-19.
