The situation is getting dire. Healthcare workers need PPE gear NOW! Hospitals throughout Chicago are desperate for supplies. We can hear it in their voice. Every call is heart breaking. It’s our civic responsibility to help them.
We need your contribution to keep going. The demand for face shields has increased rapidly and so has our production of the face shields. WE need to act fast.

Just to give you an example of requests we are seeing;
"Absolutely, we can accept donations of personal protected equipment, such as the one you mentioned. We are in dire need of those supplies, as we are using them very rapidly as we face this pandemic. I appreciate your keeping us in mind. These are my numbers
Thanks so much for your kindness and supporting our hospital. Very much appreciated it.

MISSION
Goal– Produce 10,000 Face Shields in 10 days to donate for hospital and non-hospital usage and rapidly meet PPE supply shortage, as our first objective we chose a Face Shield & masks because it was an achievable goal
Help with positive Messaging in the news to overcome the fear of helplessness
Keep Chicago working
OUR STORY
These are unprecedented times and there is much on your minds so I will keep it short and direct.
This is a Call to Action. The news of impending shortages in PPE(Personal Protective Equipment) supplies and ventilators to fight COVID-19 is dire, and the fear is pervasive. So, as most of us have been on multiple chat groups and talking and discussing the state of affairs in our cities, county and the world, a few friends over texts came up with the idea of doing something about this. We couldn't take it anymore and needed to do something about this. Next thing we know, we are going to retool and repurpose facilities and resources at our disposal to create shields and masks for the doctors and caregivers on the frontline in our great city and state. We are not going to let this fear be realized, and we are going to help turn the messaging on the news positive with ACTION. We know that the government, the top 1%, and the Fortune 100 CEO are talking, mobilizing, and doing their part. But that is not good enough. We cannot just leave it to them. Our collective actions counts, and that’s what people need to see
"We have seeded $10,000 of our own money to quickly start the initial production so that no time is wasted. Our mission is to donate 10000 Shields in next 10 days. We will continue to evolve the mission as the needs change and evolve".
