Delivering masks, shields, and wine to ER staff!

Just returned from Valley Medical Center after delivering our last batch of 3-layered cloth masks, plastic face shields, and bottles of wine. We set up our table at the end of their shifts to ensure that we would give the gift bags to all of the ER staff. Today’s shift ended at 7:00 am, so we were there at the crack of dawn!

With so little known about the coronavirus and what to expect with the shelter-in-place order, our doctors, nurses, techs and other frontline workers are stressed out. I loved watching their faces as they left the ER and walked over to get their gifts. Their smiles were all I needed to see as I sat in the RV watching from afar.

Thanks to Michele Roush for sewing masks, to my IT (who would like to remain anonymous) for making 3D face shields, and his girlfriend (also anonymous) for organizing the wine donations and discounts. Love how family and friends have stepped up to help, too. My sister Christine Grennier and my mother donated 500 surgical masks, and my aunt and uncle are planning to deliver a fancy meal and dessert to the ER staff.

Now we’re hoping to have enough supplies to do the same at Central Fire and AMR. These frontline healthcare workers help all people under stressful conditions. Want to help sew masks, print 3D shields, or donate funds? Come join us!
