PLEASE HELP!!!
Our doctors, nurses and medical staff need our help . . .
I just spoke with a friend of mine who is a doctor at Hackensack Medical Center. They have 140 patients on ventilators and another 440 patients with Covid-19. They are now converting the cafeteria (at Hackensack hospital) into hospital space for patients.
Some of the doctors are getting sick and need to be on ventilators themselves. The hospital staff are anxious, exhausted and scared for their lives.
They are short of N95 masks and don't have enough PPE (personal protective equipment).
Here's what we can do to help: if you have extra N95 masks or can get some - please do so. I'm working with BareBurger to collect as many supplies as possible. You can drop off masks, material for masks or non-perishable food (BareBurger is donating food to those in need as well) to any of the BareBurger locations. Ani Ozgun is collecting them daily and dropping them off at our local hospitals.
You can go to any of these locations to drop off items between 12:00 noon - 8:00 pm.
BareBurger:
78 The Promenade, Edgewater, NJ 07020
515 Washington St, Hoboken, NJ 07030
129 Vervalen St, Closter, NJ 07624
15 E Ridgewood Ave, Ridgewood, NJ 07450
455 Chestnut Ridge Rd, Woodcliff Lake, NJ 07677
Again - what they need most are N95 masks, gowns and gloves. Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.
Please share this with everyone you can - together - we can help make a difference.
Thanks everyone! Stay healthy!!!
Best wishes,
