**PLEASE HELP IF YOU HAVE THE MEANS, MATERIAL OR TALENTS**
* we are calling this the “Red Letter helpers of Iowa for the love of LA❤️❤️❤️”*
Ok so all hands on deck! I have some loved ones in the Los Angeles area that are front line workers in the medical field! Two woman that mean so much to me, that I can’t even explain how devastated our families would be, let alone their community if they fell ill and was not able to help others! They have ZERO masks avail to their workers out there! ZERO masks people, ZERO!
Anyway, I am heading out to get the materials I need to hand make a filtered mask! And will be mailing them out to her Monday! Please feel free to help with donations of CLEAN, FRESHLY LAUNDERED old leggings, Tshirts etc (preferably black or gray) that you no longer need - MUST BE FROM SMOKE FREE HOME, and from a hypoallergenic Pet home or pet free home-, donations of Aluminum Foil, Donations of more hot glue guns, glue sticks, donations of rubber bands, donations of N95 masks (even if you can only spare 2, that’s 2 people that can work 1 shift protected, this is preferred, as it will be less we have to hand make), donations of your talents, I’m willing to share the how to video to those that want to help make these masks for LA! I am about to go buy what I can to make at least enough for these two ladies to work 1 month (that’s my goal)! They are simple to make; however will be disposable and one time use unfortunately! So we need a lot of them! I want to help more than just these two ladies, I’d love to make enough / receive enough donations for them to be able to pass out to their co-workers!
Let’s show LA that big Red Letter - Midwestern Hug!
