Battle of the Mask
Donation protected
There is a new terrorism we face, only this time the whole world is at war.
Face mask. Goggles. A ridiculous hazmat looking suit. This is my gun, knife, and bulletproof vest.
When I'm at work, I work 12hr shifts. Nowadays with the coronavirus pandemic, I'm lucky if my shift is that short.
I am scared. A lot of us are.
We are dealing with a new enemy that took us by surprise. We didn't have enough weapons to fight back.
We lost so many people...
Simply because we didn't know HOW to fight back. And we still don't.
My coworkers are getting sent out on new tasks under trained and with a lack of protective supplies.
That's a suicide mission, but we have a duty to serve and protect you and your loved ones.
You see...
We have been ambushed and are desperately trying to win this war.
We are in the trenches and can't leave this terrible war-zone and see our families
But...
I CHOOSE not to go home.
Why? Well the answer is quite simple...
This is the best way to protect my family.
My coworkers are sleeping in their garages, cars, and have sent their families home to their in-laws so they don't risk infecting them.
My name is Rachelle, and I miss my husband and kids so much.
But because I cherish them so dearly, I have to stay away. Their safety is worth more than anything to me.
If anything were to happen to them because of me, I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
I think about them all day, and all night.
I think about them as I put on my N95 mask...
I think about them as I put on my face shield...
I think about them as I put on my nitrile rubber gloves...
I think about them as I put on my fluid-resistant surgical gown...
If a patient with Covid-19 sneezes or coughs, and their "respiratory droplets" gets on my clothes, skin, hair, or even my shoes and I come home to my husband and children...
I don't even want to think about it because it makes me imagine what could happen to them.
But I know that in order to see them again with a normal life, I must work my hardest to flatten this curve.
I wish so badly I could tell you this isn't true, but it is.
I'm going to let you in on a little secret...
I came home to see my husband and kids.
They'd rather have me isolate myself from them at home. It's really hard but they'd rather know that I'm in the other room.
My little one, she just didn't understand the full complexity of why mom isn't coming home to tuck her in every night.
She's wondering why I'm not reading her bed time stories.
She's wondering why I'm not at home playing with her.
She's wondering why I'm not there when she's crying.
What kind of mother can't protect her own kids? Or simply just comfort them?
I miss hugging her.
I miss my husband's kisses.
I miss having dinner with them.
But now when I come home...
My family knows not to see me right away.
They have my sanitation station ready and I strip in the garage and hop straight into the hot shower for an hour.
Then I'm in my own room to myself.
My daughter has the hardest time coping with this and tends to sneak into my room.
Why am I telling you all this?
Because I need your help. All of us working in the front lines need you.
We are running out of supplies. We cannot use our N95 masks at home, and our families don't have enough masks at home.
These don't just offer protection to our families, but it also gives me a peace of mind knowing that there is just one more thing protecting them when I can't.
$4 can help one person. $10 can help four people. For some, that's a whole household.
If we put in a big order, the masks will be $2 each and to ship anything under 16oz is about $2.
Help me fight this war, and together we will win this.
Please donate to this fundraiser, anything helps!
I know many of my friends have lost their jobs, if you can't donate money, please donate time!
Share this fundraiser with as many people in every way possible! Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, text message, email, whatever you can think of.
But we don't have much time.
In just four months, there have been over a million cases around the world, and about 80,000 deaths caused by this virus.
The sooner we act, the sooner we save lives.
