The Problem
Due to massive shortages of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in Philadelphia during the COVID-19 pandemic, many healthcare professionals are being told that they have to reuse single-use PPE, use makeshift protection (like bandannas instead of approved PPE such as N95 masks), or even go into patients' rooms under-protected. We are a group of medical students who are collecting monetary donations to purchase this essential equipment for our Philadelphia healthcare workers so they can stay safe while they treat the sick (100% of our monetary donations go directly to purchasing PPE).
