Inspired by all the good people out there, we want to help our community and neighbors in Westport and Fairfield County by buying state-of-the-art ventilators to save people with severe respiratory cases as a result of the COVID-19 infection.
ICU beds and ventilators are the most important life-saving tools in this pandemic. " The ventilators are the difference between life and death for thousands of New Yorkers" said Mayor DeBlasio.
Our goal is to purchase a total of 4 ICU ventilators that can help children and adults. That's 4 lives we can save weekly until we get through these tough times.
The total number of cases in Connecticut is 2,571 (3/30), with 1,445 of them in Fairfield County (CT Department of Public Health). Elon Musk did a great job in California of securing more than 1,000 ventilators, and we can do a great job here at home as well.
We have pre-ordered 2 state-of-the-art ventilators (sizes for children and adults) that will be shipped on 4/15/2020 to be donated to hospitals in Fairfield County (Norwalk Hospital, Danbury Hospital, and Bridgeport Hospital).
Please consider donating to this life-saving cause. Every dollar counts!
Stay well,
Lila, Mohamed, Jennifer and TJ
