Help provide PPE to COVID-19 medical responders
Donation protected
Hello,
We are living through an unprecedented time. Our world is compromised like never before and is revealing just how connected we are to one another. We must pool our resources and provide relief to those fighting COVID-19 on the front lines.
Our company, Empower Group (www.mpwryou.com ) is a firm focused on helping youth learn cybersecurity. However, we've decided to re-tool and address COVID-19 in the best way we know how, with technology. We are already working hard to provide PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to the medical community by 3D printing face shield components as part of a larger supply chain being managed by a local maker space in Reston, VA.
Empower Group has started this gofundme to offset the cost of printers, printer parts, and supplies needed to fabricate shields and safely deliver them to another group charged with assembly and sanitization.
Please consider this worthy cause to donate money or find another COVID-19 cause to support. It's time that we pull together for our fellow humans.
You can help by:
1. Raising funds for materials; or
2. Using your own 3D printer; or
3. Both 1 and 2
Option 1 is pretty straight forward, but if you are going with option 2, read on.....
This page outlines what you'll need to know to get started. If you don't have a printer see below for information on what you'll need. If you do have a printer, we can send you the files you'll need to start printing.
