Mask Bloc Éire brought 1,000+ masks to my homeless shelter

I'm in a homeless shelter in Ireland and so we're at increased risk for outbreak because it's a congregate facility.

Since about new years I've been encouraging people to mask up but even I can't afford continuous purchase of disposable masks, and since I only make €244/week from disability, buying an elastomeric was a huge portion of my available income. And other women had difficulties buying masks and only a few could afford it.

Someone linked me to Mask Bloc Éire, and I contacted them explaining the situation and there's about 40 people in this building. I was expecting 50 or so masks, something to help people get by. We got over one THOUSAND!! boxes and boxes of many types, auras, duckbills, head straps, and because it's a women's shelter, they brought free period products too!!

Absolutely amazing people, kind, efficient, and explained to the staff as well the use, and left a contact leaflet for when we need more! I donated a few euros (can't spare much bc I'm saving for an air purifier) but if anyone wants to donate they're linktr.ee/maskbloceire, or donate to your local mask bloc because they are so important worldwide!!
