One Fresh Pillow

We’ve had lots of people ask if they can buy items from us to be sent to DC. (Too many for me to respond individually.) Your desire to be a part of something good is a bright spot for our nation and world.

If we complied, we would ultimately profit from your desire to help the troops. Instead of buying a pillow to send to the those working to protect our democracy, we encourage you to donate to any number of military charities (We’re partial to the Green Beret Foundation)

@yashar

Donate directly to someone in need. @yashar’s thread is a great place to find someone to help.

or simply buy the coffee/ meal of the person behind you in line next time you're at the drive-thru. Acts of kindness go a long way, especially these days. #OneFreshKindness

It's been a long day, but I have pillow news! To recap: National Guard sleeping on hard floors while defending our Capitol. Lots of you tagged us asking if we could help. We tweeted in search of a service member in DC, and had a hit within an hour. 1/8

Our contact is at an airfield outside of DC, and his group is aircraft pilots and maintainers in the Washington, D.C. National Guard. (That is all I am authorized to tell you.) He coordinated with his CO (commanding officer) to make sure our donation would be acceptable. 2/8

Today's mission: packaging.
100 Travel Pillows, 30 Standard Pillows, and 30 Sleep Masks are boxed up and ready to ship out tomorrow to a civilian address (way easier from a logistics perspective) and then taken by my contact to the airfield. 3/8

Let me tell you a story about buying goods from "Communist China."

When we first developed our prototype for our pillow, Mr. Pillow spent MONTHS trying to find a US mfg who would work with us. They would either laugh at him (via email) or never return his emails or phone calls in the first place.

If we weren't looking to give these outfits a $100,000+ order off the bat, they had no interest in us. (And keep in mind that TO THIS DAY we have 100% bootstrapped this thing. We have no investors. And no trust funds. BELIEVE THAT.)
