COVID-19 FRONTLINE SUPPORT
Donation protected
We are asking our Fit Squad community to donate $1 when you join us for our IG Live Workouts.
We are passionate about keeping our community healthy, fit and safe and want to do the same for our frontline workers who are working tirelessIy to do the same.
Help us in raising support for a fellow local business here in Toronto, that has already starting fundraising to bring PPE supplies to frontline workers.
If staff are unable to protect themselves, who will be left to take care of your loved ones and keep you from getting this novel virus?
The healthcare community is in dire need of more Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to protect themselves against COVID-19. The CDC states that to protect from getting COVID-19 persons should wear a N95 mask or mask respirator. Many hospitals do not have N95 masks to begin with and powered-air purifying respirators (PAPR) are in limited supply. Hospitals are beginning to run out of supplies to protect their frontline staff from COVID-19.
Your dollars will go directly to Knix who is collecting donations (to reach their goal of $125,000) to order and distribute PPE items ASAP by working with their suppliers along with our government agencies.
Their partners will also be helping to absorb the costs for shipping and distributions.
Every dollar counts. Here are some rough estimates of how far your donations will go:
$10 - 5 x N95 masks
$20 - 10 x N95 maks
$50 - 35 level 2 surgical gowns
$100 - 500 pairs of surgical gloves
$250 - One doctor or nurse kit (estimated gloves, masks and gowns needed for one hospital nurse or doctor for 7 days)
We are all looking for ways to help during this pandemic and hope you will join us in the fight!
Thank you so much,
The Squad
