Nirvana Aura Foundation Donates PPE to Fight COVID-19

The Nirvana Aura Foundation strives to provide the necessary PPE to frontline workers during this unexpected global pandemic.

The Nirvana Aura Foundation, Inc. is a non-profit organization serving the need of PPE's for essential workers and healthcare heroes to fill the shortage during this COVID-19 pandemic.

Essential workers are in need of supplies that are currently dwindling. In order to supply them with the necessary equipment, the Nirvana Aura Foundation has taken the initiative to donate N95 masks, gowns, face shields, gloves, and much more to hospitals in the New York area.

As the shortages of PPE continue to grow, alternative ways to make conventional PPE have risen. We encourage all community members to contribute during this unprecedented time. If you have sewing experience and a sewing machine, please take some time to create homemade face masks or bags, as we are donating comfort kits to the nurses who risk their life daily- the fabric will be donated by us! If you do not know how to sew, hand-sketched cards with inspirational quotes would be greatly appreciated. If you have access to a 3D printer, we are looking for makers to create face shields as well.
