"We posted a photo of the masks on the My Green Mattress instagram and the requests came pouring in," spokeswoman Erin Gourley told Patch in an email Friday. "Just today, we committed 75 to Beds Plus Homeless Shelter (in La Grange) and 75 more are going to the Wrigleyville Veterinary office."

Owners Tim and Cindy Masters are donating the masks directly to Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike of the Department of Public Health to oversee the distribution of the donated masks to as many local hospitals as possible, the release said. The masks are not available for sale
