I seriously doubt that you will ever read this letter as I know you are busy beyond the belief with the disaster that has dropped our country. We are a nation in crisis, to know that there is no doubt.
I am a retired farmer with northeast Kansas with my wife who has only one lung and occasional problems with the remaining lung. She also has diabetes. We are in our 70s now. Frankly, I'm scared for her.
Here are a residue of N95 Solitaire mask from my agricultural days. This has never been used. If you could, do you want to send it to a nurse or doctor from your state. I kept four masks for my immediate family.
Please continue to do what you do so well, which must lead.
Truly,
Dennis and Sharon
