BCN Mask Fundraiser

We are collecting donations to purchase N95 masks for Barcelona hospitals.  We’ve seen press coverage that masks will soon be provided to hospitals but it’s unclear when this will happen.  

We have successfully received two shipments of masks this week (see below), with roughly 170 masks in each order. 

Please consider making a donation TODAY so that we can purchase more masks and donate them to local hospitals ASAP.  Donations of all sizes will help keep hospital staff safe. Delivery takes approximately 5 days. Each N95 mask is approximately 5€.  For every 900€ received, we will place a new order. We are already in contact with Vall d’Hebron (see below) and contacting other hospitals as well. 

We are placing small size orders to avoid confiscation…we can’t guarantee they won’t be taken but by doing this in small batches we hope we will continue to receive them.  We will post updates here as orders received and delivered. 

We hope you’ll join us.

PS For transparency: I've set David Wygant (my husband) as the beneficiary of this campaign, so that we can withdraw the funds and make payments directly to the vendor.

Correspondence with Vall d'Hebron, translation follows:

Thanks for your generosity and implication with Vall d’Hebron. The donation of N95 masks from your Parent’s association helps us maintain our professionals protected. This way we can continue offering the best assistance to all of our patients and with the highest guarantees. 

As you know, the health crisis caused by Covid 19 has forced to face a very complex situation and now more than ever society’s commitment is essential so that we can do what we do best: cure our patients and take care of our professionals. 

We will continue working without rest during the following weeks to fight the coronavirus pandemic and with people and companies like you, we will be better equipped to do so. 

Again, thanks for your donation offer.
