Make a Mask Illinois
Donation protected
UPDATE 4/23/2020
My name is Kamila Henley and I am writing to you on behalf of 127 wonderful, selfless, Polish American women from 61 towns across Chicagoland area who are voluntarily helping to sew face masks for doctors, nurses, first responders and essential businesses. In 4 (four) weeks we have cut, sewed, washed, ironed, packaged and delivered 2368 face masks to 38 different places, with remaining requests to be fulfilled for 2000+ masks.
We are Make a Mask Illinois.
Here is OUR story.
MakeaMaskIllinois started 4 weeks ago. That is when stay at home order in Illinois came in place. As everyone else I was asked to stay home to help to stop spread the virus. So, I did. Those who know me, would tell you that I cannot sit still, and I always need to do something. I figured I need to take control of the situation that is directly affecting my family and help. Luckily with all the bad news associated with the COVID-19 there was also a lot of good news from all over the world of people uniting and helping in every way they can: making masks, delivering food to hospitals or donating money for PPE equipment. Those people inspired me.
I’m Polish. Knowing that there are about 1.5 million people of polish decent in Chicagoland I’ve decided to reach out to the Polish community. I have added a Facebook post on one of the ad pages and asked if anyone would be interested in making mask for doctors, nurses, first responders and essential business. I only knew sewing basics, I didn’t even have a sewing machine at the time, but I figured I will give it a try. The response was overwhelming really, and people’s selflessness and eagerness to help made me hopeful for the future. People wanted to help regardless of their age, sex, location, political views or religion. We are united and are doing the best we can to help others.
Within last 4 weeks we have grown significantly. There are 131 of us, 127 women and 4 men across 60 towns across Illinois and 1 in Washington. Because we are in so many locations, we had to divide ourselves into 3 regions: North, Center and South. Each region is structured the same. There are ladies who are cutting the material for masks (fabric, elastic, ties), ladies who are sewing (professional or hobbyists), ladies who are crocheting extensions, ladies who are washing/ironing/packing the masks and ladies that are solely dedicated to pickup & delivery.
Here is a detailed breakdown of our team*:
Seamstress: 71 (63+8 professional seamstress)
Material Cutting: 17
Washing/Ironing/Packing: 11
Large Delivery: 5
Delivery and Pickup: 14
Crocheting: 9
Office: 7
*Please refer to a full list at the end
Our work is totally voluntary, and we are not making any profits. Although our work is unpaid, our organization is functioning like a well-organized business. We think it is worth mentioning how we have organized ourselves in ONLY 2 weeks. Our efforts can be divided into 7 phases: Enrollment, Logistics, Planning, Supply, Preparation, Execution and Delivery.
Enrollment: People are reaching out to us via Facebook, by reference or phone call. Marta Purschke is coordinating enrollment/admin efforts. Someone interested in voluntary work is asked to provide us with their name, address, phone number, email and identify how they would like to help us. Marta records the information and adds that person to our Organizational Chat on Facebook and introduce the new person to the team.
Logistics: Depending on character of the help offered new team member is assigned a role: Cutting, Sewing, Crocheting, Washing, Ironing, Packing or Pickup/Delivery and added to the corresponding Facebook Chat. Each Pickup/Delivery lady has her own group, that consists of ladies who cut, sew and crotchet. They communicate and work as a team: arrange pickups, requests sewing supplies etc. Ania Dyl is coordinating the logistics and material efforts.
Planning: While so many people are offering their voluntary help, we have a lot of request for help. Hospitals, Nursing Homes, Police, stores, individuals are asking asks for masks. Each request is recorded with the type of the facility, point of contact and number of masks requested. Due to the high demand we had to limit the requests to a 100 per facility, with an option of being added to the end of the list again. We fulfill requests in the order that have been recorded, with few exceptions when we had an emergency. All places we donate our masks to, are asked to sign the release form. Paulina Poplawska is responsible for these efforts, that we refer as Call Center.
Supply: To make masks we either purchase 100% cotton or we use donated cotton fabric. The funds to purchase sewing supplies comes from our GoFundMe page. We keep all the receipts and the expenses associated with purchasing sewing supplies are recorded by Agnes Ziolkowski. Thus far we have $7,200 and most of it has been already spent on fabric and covered with our private funds. We were lucky to have a help of Ania Spinello who helped us tremendously ordering sewing supplies directly form the manufacturer: elastic, wire, thread.
Preparation: Pickup/Delivery ladies are responsible for delivering the fabric to ladies that helps us cut it into 9”x6” or 9”x12” pieces of 100% cotton, as they need to meet CDC standards. Due to the shortage of elastic those ladies are also cutting material to 2”x18” for ties. The cut fabric, elastic and ties are then picked up by pickup/delivery and delivered to seamstresses.
Execution: Because we have so many seamstresses on our team, they were able to come up with multiple designs of face masks, and all comply with CDC. The amount of effort and thought that goes into each mask or a new design is unbelievable. Those ladies are putting all their hearts into it. No elastic goes wasted. They want to make sure those masks are perfect. It’s remarkable. Anna Gardulski, professional seamstress has been with us from the very beginning and her feedback and instructions are priceless. Renata Plaza, who is is a professional seamstress as well not only gives advise on how to sew and shares her masks designs with others, but also helps with broken sewing machines. Team Effort! All our masks have an opening for a filter, but we do not supply a filter. They are washable and reusable. Once the masks are completed pickup/delivery person picks them up and drops them off for washing, ironing and packing. We are talking about hundreds and thousands of masks. That is a lot! We count all of the masks and pack them into bags by 1/25/50 and 100. Each bag has a sticker with laundry instruction and our logo.
Extra: We must mention our newest “division” of crocheted extension with buttons, that go on the back of the head so that the elastic is supported on there, not the ears. The group emerged instantly and withing less than 12 hours we had 10 ladies crocheting those extensions. Unbelievable. Aga Batura, who is also a seamstress is coordinating the group.
Delivery: Safety of our team is our priority that is why masks for hospitals are being picked up from us and the rest is delivered to first responders and essential business. Paulina Poplawska and Agnes Ziolkowski are coordinating the pickups and deliveries.
Because we cannot keep track of individual orders but we want to make sure elderly and people with preexisting conditions are also taken care of, we had arrange with one of the polish grocery store chains that once a week we will have 25 individually packed masks ready to be picked up at their 3 stores locations.
We keep everyone up to date with our efforts on our Facebook page that Kamila Henley manages. Each week we share with everyone how many masks we have made, how many we delivered, where we have donated. We also post about our masks, the process and the final product. Most importantly we introduce our team members, so that everyone knows who is behind MakeaMaskIllinois
What we would like to highlight is that Make a Mask Illinois would not be such a phenomenon, if it wasn’t for EVERY SINGLE PERSON that makes the TEAM. I personally couldn’t have asked to be a part of a better team.
Polish community support has been nothing short of spectacular.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
We are all familiar with what is currently in the world.
COVID-19 took control over all of our lives and is holding us hostage. Figuratively and literally speaking, as the only thing that we can do to help spread the virus is to stay home. Isolated from others.
There is more that all of us can do!
For the last few days I was wondering how I can help, and the only thing I could think of was to start making face masks for hospital personnel.
There is a major shortage of medical protective gear, nationwide.
It will only get worse, as the number of COVID-19 cases in the US will raise substantially.
CDC is aware of the shortage and approved using homemade masks
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/face-masks.html
We must make sure that our doctors and nurses are always protected, because they are on the front line fighting this virus, and saving our lives.
I have been in touch with a group of women, who offered to make the mask for free, and this fundraiser is to purchase supplies: fabric (100% cotton) and elastic. No amount is too small.
Thank you
