Buy a Mask, Get an Edit!
Healthcare and other workers are in desperate need of N95 masks, which offer the best protection from COVID-19. The fundraiser Masks 4 America has found a source for N95 masks that cost $2 each. A large group of reputable activists has sourced these and is sending them directly to where they are needed most. And now a group of writers are working together to sweeten the deal: if you donate $20, you will get a certificate for a future edit of a 5-page document!
About Masks 4 America
From the Masks 4 America Website:
THE PROBLEM WE'RE FACING
Doctors, nurses, and other frontline medical workers across the U.S. and Puerto Rico are being forced to ration N95 masks or turn to inadequate bandanas, paper, and cloth masks — leaving them vulnerable to infection as they interact with COVID-19 patients. There are already reports of health care workers getting sick and dying as a result of a lack of proper protective gear.HOW WE'RE WORKING TO SOLVE ITThere’s no time to waste. We have found and partnered with an FDA-certified manufacturer selling N95 equivalent masks at only $2/mask — a fraction of what hospitals and governments have been paying for N95 masks.Every dollar donated goes directly to mailing masks to health care facilities who request them through https://getusppe.org/request, and every person involved (even the broker) is volunteering their time. For only $2, you can provide a safe mask to a frontline health care worker!Donations are tax-deductible.
