Sheniell and Jenny are both nurses in Texas who met while volunteering with several different charities focused on getting PPE to the front lines. Throughout our work we kept seeing the same problem surface over and over again. Donations of PPE being given to the facilities were not always filtering down to the front line workers. Because of the shortage of PPE hospitals and many other facilities are rationing the use of what they have forcing healthcare workers to reuse their PPE long past the point of them being effective or safe. The CDC has changed their guidelines of what is acceptable practice based on the amount of PPE available versus what is actually science based best practice even going so far as to recommend healthcare workers use a scarf or bandana if proper equipment is unavailable. This has sent healthcare workers scrambling to source and provide their own PPE. We've seen everything from nurses wearing trash bags to trying to sew masks with HEPA rated vacuum cleaner bags and that's when we knew we had to step in. We aim to be a resource for our fellow healthcare workers and first responders to source the PPE they need and send it directly to them so the only thing they have to worry about is taking care of their patients.
