Episode 88: Creating Masks for Doctors during #Coronavirus with Nancy Rhodes
This very special episode features, Nancy Rhodes, who's a shoe designer & CEO of Alternew. We talk about her journey to becoming a shoe designer and her new company, Alternew - where she matches seamstresses/tailors with the people who need them. As a result of the coronavirus she's decided to use her army of seamstresses to create masks for doctors. They have partnered with a bunch of hospitals and organizations to give the masks to across NY and the country.
If you can donate money or fabric, they need that too: https://www.gofundme.com/f/nyc-face-masks-initiative

We've had an INCREDIBLE outpouring of support and an EXTRAORDINARY response to our call for materials and sewing technicians as well as hospital staff and caregivers with IMMEDIATE needs. We realized we have no time to waste and need funds to get this executed in a meaningful way!
We have 70 sewing technicians and growing! We have materials to send out! We have delivery systems in place! We have the capacity to make at least 5000 masks per week and much more with your donation!
The first $5000 we receive will make 9,000 masks
+$10,000 in donations will allow us to send 14,000 masks to hospitals and those in need.
+$20,000 will make 28,000 masks
+$25,000 will make over 35,000 masks and we have the infrastructure and capacity to make it happen!
Please know that your family and your own financial health is paramount, but if you have the ability to give even a small donation, it could truly save a life! Please consider making a donation if you can!
We need to provide people who can sew and are willing to help the access to resources at once, providing an opportunity to significantly contribute. And we need to get these face masks to the people who protect us. Let's get these masks made!!
