URGENT: CALL TO ACTION
Stuck at home, watching the news, feeling like you want to do more for Costa Rica but not sure how to help? Now is your time to shine. A local man, Timothy Murray, is working hard to help our healthcare professionals by 3d printing Face Shields to provide to Healthcare workers. In fact, this is not the first time he has worked to help provide healthcare for our community. Recently, he helped our local community by 3d printing prosthetic limbs for residents in need.
Where do you come in? Right now, Mr. Murray has enough filament to produce hundreds of masks and has indeed begun production and is running the 3D printer 24/7 to make sure the health providers have the appropriate protection. However he needs the clear plastic that goes in the front and the nylon cords for the straps. A bit of creativity can be used here, but the healthcare workers need to be able to see out of the plastic and it needs to be non porous to protect them from harm.
If you have any such plastic, are willing to donate some, or know where to acquire some, please contact info@askzipy.com or WhatsApp +506 8828 1555. #SupportCostaRica
