An update on funds raised thru twitter this week. I had a broker in China who had 5k masks; tried to get them to Elmhurst hospital. Customs/FDA stoppage broke deal. Of $9k raised, donated $7k to getusppe.org, $2k directly to Elmhurst. None remain. All receipts below.
This is not a scam. My own mom has asked me to find surgical masks for her practice, I got nothin'. Supply chain broken by profiteering. I was lucky to deal with an honest broker who immediately returned my deposit. forbes.com/sites/daviddis…
Every single dollar donated thru paypal has gone to PPE/hospital. None to me. I'm heartbroken not to be able to protect my sister, mother & their peers more directly but together we will have protected lots of front line workers. So thank you again and #GetUSPPE!!
For those who don't want to scroll thru massive thread, receipts here:
this was insanely stressful and heartbreaking and i did my best and every dollar was sent directly to a reputable charity with public documentation thereof and thats all i can say.
