This family makes hundreds of reusable masks daily at no cost to essential and non essential workers. I ordered 30 for my family and friends and they did it, no problems fast and efficient with many themes at no cost. They don’t charge but of course are welcomed to donations. These people save lives and are the ones making an actual impact in not only my community but throughout all the communities in which they have impacted. I work in the medical field, and everyone is calling me a hero when truly, these people are the hero’s .

This family works countless hours to make these masks at zero charge. They also go above and beyond to pre sanitize the masks and deliver them. They are what True hero’s look like.
