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
