Hart Bridges Mask and Gowns giving back!
Donation protected
My name is Hart Bridges, I am a freshman enrolled at the Darla Moore School of Business at USC Columbia. When the number of cases started to grow, USC shut down their campus and sent the Students home to do online classes. Back in my hometown there wasn’t much to do other than watch the news and keep seeing the number of cases rise, to make it worse my summer job shut down for the foreseeable future. I saw that there was an extreme shortage of safety masks and a huge inflation of prices. I decided to take some money I had saved up an import some KN95 masks and market them at a more attainable price. My Dad thought I was throwing money away, that was until I sold all my inventory in one day. He then got on board and decided to help me grow my business. He put me in touch with a couple of companies that were making a superior-American-made mask. The first few American-made masks I put on my website were manufactured by Indera Mills, Contempora Fabrics, and Creative Fabric Services.
As my online and in-person sales started to grow, I saw something in the market that was out of my reach. There are frontline people fighting the virus without mask and people that cannot afford even the most attainable of safety masks. I don’t make enough money to give them out for free, yet, so I decided to create a GoFundMe page to raise money. I know that with enough donations and sponsors I can help those who need it the most right now and bring Americans back to work at the same time. Just with one my dad’s Linked In post I was able to raise enough money to make my first donation to a nursing facility in PA, my second to a Sheriffs department, and the third to a local hospital.
I have also just given to people that can’t afford them
