We know the power of small businesses.
They bring us the things we love, community, connection, and our livelihoods. Watching the pandemic spread, we felt pain inside and out of our businesses that disrupted every aspect of life. We knew our 10+ years of experience in global supply chain management was needed.
If the pandemic continues to spread, there’s more at stake than just our bottom line:
The health of our loved ones: We knew if we didn’t help solve the PPE problem, it might be months or years before we could hug our grandparents, family, and friends. Anders’ father is a doctor who works at one of the busiest hospitals in New Mexico. He was only being supplied with one, 3-ply mask per day. We couldn’t sleep at night knowing he wasn’t protected from COVID19.
The education of our children: If we don’t help solve the PPE problem, our kids won’t be able to safely go back to school without interruption or spend time playing sports, with their friends, or with their elderly family.
The future of our collective livelihoods: As outbreaks of COVID19 sweep through each state our friends and colleagues are losing jobs, shuttering businesses, and giving up on dreams.
It doesn’t have to be this way.
There’s one thing. One simple, affordable, easy to use thing that while it can’t stop COVID19, can bring businesses and communities back to life. And it can protect lives.
Proper PPE.
When we saw the world shutting down, lives being lost, and businesses closing — we worked day in and day out to connect our vetted, trusted, long-term manufacturing partners to the people who needed PPE most.
We’ve streamlined the supply chain to bring vetted, trusted, CDC and NIOSH approved, highly effective respirators to the US. And we’ve done it for a fraction of the cost.
Because no one should be priced out of a life saving necessity.
