FAQ’s:
What does sponsoring a First Responder mean? What will they get?
- One Envo-Mask (reusable with gel seals with case)
- 25 individually sealed N-95 filters for the mask
Why is the price $135 for one Responder? Seems high
- N-95 disposable masks are in high demand around the world. These are the masks involved in the bidding wars. This is why, an Envo-Mask was chosen for these efforts, it’s not what is typically being sought – is still in high demand though.
- The Envo-Mask is a re-useable mask and by itself with 5 filters runs $79.00. Each sponsorship of a responder includes 2 orders of replacement filters at $24.95 each set. The remaining $5 goes to shipping fees and the Donor Box transaction fees.
How can you ensure my sponsorship goes to my choice location?
- Those selecting ‘Rural’ as the choice to send monies / sponsorship, will be slated for those rural locations indicating highest need. As this program is launched, we also are extending the ability for those health care and EMS/ Fire services to request aide.
- Those selecting ‘City’ as the choice to send monies / sponsorship, will be slated for distribution, as the need in cities is alerted same as for the ‘Rural’ above.
Who can donate? And where does the money go?
- Anyone can donate, in any amount of money. Good chance to get the kids involved too – every effort will be made to maintain a ‘donors’ list on the website, so they can see their name as supporters of our First Responders.
- The blank line in the donor selection, allows you to choose any amount for sponsoring.
- All monies collected will go toward the purchase of the ‘respirator set’ described above. Should these sets be unavailable to receive at any time, due to demand issues, – ALL monies collected in this initiative will be given to Alaskan First Responders – to the areas designated on the donation (Rural or City / First Responder or HealthCare Worker)
Do you need to be fit tested and have a medical clearance to wear these masks? What are the requirements?
- No, OSHA has temporarily suspended these requirements during this public health emergency. Check this link often for the most current guidance on respiratory protection: https://www.osha.gov/memos/2020-04-03/enforcement-guidance-respiratory-protection-and-n95-shortage-due-coronavirus
