Today we delivered 1,000 masks to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia generously donated by A Wish Come True. They make awesome dance and colorguard costumes, and now, masks, too!
We've had a great time making new friends while working together to support our health care workers (and social distancing).
Together we have donated 3,191 masks in one week!
How amazing is that?!
Tomorrow will be heading to A Wish Come True and then CHOP to donate 1,000 masks.
Greg will be waiting on the mailman for the first 1,525 masks being shipped to BennettStrong.
We are so incredibly honored to be able to help health care workers. We are also incredibly honored that you're a part of this amazing process.
It means so much to be there for those who were present on some of our most challenging days. 🙌😘
We are still accepting sponsorships and donations. Our goal was 3,000, now let's make it 4,000!

We have shipments of over 1,125 masks (and counting) arriving for delivery to CHOP.
We have health care workers logging on to purchase their own mask.
We have notes coming on with gratitude, love, and support of this program.
It is making a difference and the masks haven't even been used yet.
Why? Because it's building a sense of community. It's showing our health care workers how much they're loved and appreciated. They go to work knowing we've got their backs.

745 masks. So far, 745 health care workers have a disinfectable, reusable, antimicrobial, SAFE mask to help protect themselves when taking care of our littlest patients.
AND THE SPONSORSHIPS ARE STILL COMING.
Are we surprised? No. We made it through 7.5 months of a trauma level NICU because of the support we had. We survived cancer because of the support we had.
We've impacted thousands of families who need psycho-social support while their child fought for their life.
NOW, together again, we'll impact thousands of health care workers who need to feel we've got their backs every time they put their mask on.

Juan and Kim Flores are urging people to take Covid-19 seriously after the NICU where their son is being treated closed its doors to all visitors, including parents.SEND US YOUR SANITIZER AND FACE MASKS!! Kathy- A NICU nurse, as well as other nurses, are instructed to carry their mask in a brown paper bag. "The bag is just carried with us and we are taught to turn the mask inside out to put in the bag to help with not recontamination."
She is one of thousands of nurses and doctors employed at one of the TOP Pediatric Hospitals IN THE WORLD.
These brave healthcare workers are being asked to protect themselves while they continue to work with NO resources to accomplish this goal.
PLEASE: if you have MASKS OR SANITIZER, MESSAGE US to donate! We will accept your items and arrange for a safe drop off!
