Let me see if i can find an n95 mask. My husband mentioned we had 1-2 in our basement somewhere from forever ago when we did our floors. They are extra that were not used. Mu basement is a disaster hence why I haven’t looked yet. But I’ll definitely try for u to find it and get back to u!

@naquin4075 found it! Brand new, i took it out of bag with gloves on, no one has ever touched it, and we’ve been in quarantine for 5 wks already because i and my mother are also very compromised (cancer for her) turns out i had three, so I only need two, one is yours. I put in ziplock bag. PM me and we’ll figure out how u want get it! Blessings

@phlyctena50 You’re a great human being and thank you for helping others in need with such a selfless act of kindness. I own a local roofing/siding/gutter company and if there is anything you need during these trying times, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. I enjoy helping great people.

@mcelhaney685 I’ll actually take u up on that, but not for a freebie or deals. I’m looking for siding when all this blows over. I’d love to give u the business, as I’m sure you’ll need it. And thx, but I don’t think I’m great. I just feel so much hate is out there and we have to spread love and generosity or it will be the end of us all. All i ask is that you help someone else who really needs it. Blessings to you and yours

@phlyctena50 When the time comes, contact me directly or ask for me if you call. You’re right, we all need to do our part. We’ve repaired over 60+ leaks at our exact cost without any company profit for the past 2 1/2 weeks. All of the elderly, first responders and healthcare professionals have been serviced free of charge! Being able to help solve just a portion of their issues that they’re faced with right now, is worth more than profits. (People over Profits! )

@naquin4075 stop it, you’re making me emotional  I’m not a crying kind of person. I should be done here soon, my mom is ridiculous, she’s feeding her birds ‍♀️ she hasn’t been to her house for weeks, because i put her on lockdown with me. Call u as soon as I’m back in town.

@mcelhaney685 god bless you and your family! I’m in the middle of an overhaul of my house. It’s been bananas, previous owners were very old and let it go to shit, i thought it was just cosmetic but it’s been taxing to say the least. So much mold removal and remediation has been done. Ugh, and I’m beyond allergic. Hence why I’m compromised. I’ve been so ill for so long. Anyway, I’m only telling you this so no one thinks I’m hoarding the other 2 masks I literally found because of @naquin4075 kicking me in the butt to look for them.  
by (3.2k points)
@phlyctena50 I think holding on to 2 masks is absolutely acceptable. I’ve ordered some N99 electronic reusable face masks from a small start-up company that I know the owner of, but I won’t have them for at least a couple of weeks. If you end up needing one, let me know.  
by (950 points)
@mcelhaney685 I don’t need it, but thank you for the offer, really. Very generous of you. I’m thinking maybe I should give my other one to a doctor at the ER. Realistically i really only need the one. Just in case someone falls ill in my house that one person can care for them with the mask. This whole conversation is insane, right?! Who would have thought we’d be talking like this, it’s craziness  
by (3.2k points)
@phlyctena50 Absolutely odd times. You may want to hold on to that other one, this will most likely drag out for several months yet.  
by (4.3k points)
@phlyctena50 it was so nice to meet you. When this blows over maybe I can make it up to you. I didn’t want to say much. I want you to know me and my son have health issues. He has seizures, I have COPD and immune disorder. I don’t have enough antibodies to fight off pneumonia. Your generosity very well could have saved lives today. Thank you so very much! I will never forget this❤️❤️❤️❤️

Google how to turn a bandana into a face mask. It is supposed to take at least 67% effective if done correctly.

If that’s the case, he can stop working and file for unemployment.

@dieball they had two deaths at Walmart in Illinois and I’m scared for him.  
by (530 points)
@naquin4075 Please look into unemployment under his scenario.  
by (520 points)
@dieball I agree. It’s not worth the risk.  
by (180 points)
Do you know its almost impossible to get through to unemployment? I heard a young woman say it takes 12 weeks to get a check. Anybody hear differently?

Does the job is more essential than his health and life? At least the owner (who makes profit) has to provide masks and gloves at work.
