Adopt a Hero Campaign Seeks Donations to Provide Critical Medical Supplies to Medical Personnel Mexico expected to become worldwide epicenter of the pandemic As the COVID-19 pandemic stabilizes in California, thousands of people in Mexico are succumbing to this fatal virus. With the number of cases growing south of the border, front-line workers need critical medical supplies and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to face an increasing number of cases of COVID-19. Adopt a Hero has been providing medical front line workers in Mexico with masks, gowns, gloves, and other critical medical supplies, yet there is still a shortage of equipment. Maria Fernanda Reyes, entrepreneur and founder of the Adopt a Hero Campaign lost her father to broncho aspiration 6 years ago due to lack of access to a ventilator, and after witnessing the current sanitary crisis first-hand, decided to help others in Mexico: "The help of the local community has been overwhelming, but we still need more money to move supplies as quickly as possible. Anybody can help a front line responder by making a $25, $50 or $100 donation toward a kit, or to support the purchase of a $1,200 ventilator. Additionally, she organized a distribution network of municipalities in Mexico that has provided ventilator equipment donations from Dr Benjamin Wang of Nevap Inc in eight states, including her native Sonora and the current epicenter of the crisis, Sinaloa. Details for donations will be available on www.adoptahero.org or through https://www.gofundme.com/f/u6dbf8-adoptahero.
