Give Masks to NYPD
Donation protected
Since the COVID-19 crisis began in New York City, I've seen that people that are most exposed -- public servants, health care workers, essential retailers -- have many critical needs and challenges. Specifically, hearing that thousands of NYPD members have been infected with the virus, are out sick, or are quarantined because they don't have effective PPE, I knew I must help.
I'm a toy and baby product designer with production capabilities, and I've turned my bedding facility in Korea into a mask-making factory.
By wearing masks, Korea was able to flatten the curve of the massive outbreak. We must learn from their behaviors and successes.
My goal is to give two re-usable/washable masks to every NYPD member so that they can do their job with increased protection. The NYPD has approved this initiative, and we've begun to create the masks. We'll start distribution in Brooklyn and Queens, and then move to Manhattan, The Bronx, and Staten Island as we continue to raise funds.
I designed the mask to fit well, be comfortable, and protect the wearer from droplets. With filter inserts (you can use coffee filters!), these masks offer 70% protection from micro particles.
Please donate $10 for 1 NYPD officer up to $1,000 for 100 officers. $10 provides each officer or NYPD staff member with 2 masks. There are 36,000 active officers in the NYPD and 19,000 on staff. They all need masks for the months ahead as soon as possible. I'll produce these masks and ship them out every week by air freight as long as I have your support.
I thank every NYPD officer and staff member out there doing their job while we stay home, doing our part.
Stay home. Save lives. Please support the NYPD's safety with these masks!
THANK YOU!
