Zuckerberg is asking for donations for a hospital that he helped fund, which also has no agreements with healthcare providers and therefore has an aggressive/surprising billing practice model.

Yeah, no thanks. That's a hard pass.

We are fulfilling the requests by makers to deliver the PPE on a case-by-case basis. Today, for instance, I picked up a truck load's worth of donated fabric and delivered it to the laser cutters who will cut 10,000 masks which will then be sewn by various sewists around the bay. Tomorrow we will be picking up masks that were 3D printed and taking them to Chinese Hospital in SF.

I don't know why I'm surprised, but the other day I asked in anyone was interested in helping deliver a few things that were being made for some nurses and WHAM! We now have a team of 30+ volunteers riding around the Bay Area picking up and delivering medical supplies to desperate institutions and people around the bay from Sonoma and beyond to Santa Cruz and Sacramento and beyond. If you want to join us, send me an email (lucytriple@yahoo.com) with your name, email, phone number, delivery area, availability and cargo ability!

If you know anyone looking for PPE you can direct them to fill out this form: https://forms.gle/mpDjcZkLK9mrQHwc8

If you know anyone who needs us to deliver the stuff you can direct them to our form: https://forms.gle/KKbSs2Yb3LQx1vfSA

If you or anyone would like to contribute to our cause, please share our GoFundMe with them: gf.me/u/xubuti

There are a number of efforts already in play doing this, some going on for nearly a month now. Various local hospitals and care facilities have posted their preferences for what items they will accept:

LOL, we changed our name to Dames Do Care Volunteer Delivery. It took me about 5 days to be able to say I care, I guess.

Thanks for the support! We've been making deliveries all week and we hope to make more in the days to come. The anxiety we are helping to alleviate little bit by little bit is only going to grow in the weeks to come. The hunger for PPE from hospitals! and other medical institutions is so deep because everyone knows the storm is coming. It has nothing to do with us anymore out there riding, we're just willingly offering up what we have, time and means, so we can join in the big push to get ready.
