Guam’s healthcare workers need our help.

We’re working with GMH, GRMC and first responders to make Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to fill shortages until traditional supply chains can meet demand.

Please donate unused PPE, or help by making them from home.

We have the designs, we have the demand.

Now we just need you.

Research

Due to a nationwide shortage in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), the CDC recommends making homemade PPE as a last resort.
