DM me for a free facemask

Still active and happy to help as of july 2020. If you have friends/family that need a mask feel free to ask on their behalf. Kid sizes available. I don't bite. To support my efforts please consider donating to the BLM movement or buy me a ko-fi to help pay for stamps. https://ko-fi.com/caradibi

Free Face masks and protective gear

So at this point we’re all familiar with the state of the world so I’ll cut to the chase.

I will sew and ship you a cotton facemask so long as you reside in the continental united states. If you or someone within your residence is imuno-compromised or otherwise extra susceptible please say so, as I will move you up the list of priorities.

Please keep in mind that I am a single person not an established organization. If you don’t actually need a mask, please don’t waste my time, energy and resources. I’m trying my best but shipping can be unpredictable, please refrain from harassing me with complaints.

If you are someone in need, please send me a dm and I will do my best to help you.

If you are someone who also has the ability to make and ship masks and would like to help out, feel free to dm me and we can try and work something out, or alternatively, consider sending masks to the native nations who are currently in dire need. details on how to help the navajo people here.

Information I need to send you a free mask

I will need

a mail-able address

your name/something to put on the envelope

Furthermore, the masks I send out are made from a variety of 100% cotton fabrics I have on hand. Some of the fabric has christian imagery(ex: christmas stuff, bible verses etc.) or displays traditionally feminine images (ex: pink princess crowns, flowers, etc.). Please let me know if you feel strongly that you’d like to be sent  a mask without the above.

i’m happy to accommodate you, and don’t want to inadvertently cause discomfort :)

If you need a mask, but are also capable of paying about $8, please consider going to etsy for yours. Many etsy sellers will be able to ship to you quicker than I can, and you’d be doing me a favour by mitigating my incurred costs of stamps.

Wear a mask.

I’VE FOUND IT I’VE FOUND THE ONLY NECESSARY GARMENT OF CLOTHING

Shout out to all the people who are still social distancing and wearing masks. Thank you for still taking this pandemic seriously and understanding how an illness can spread from person to person. I pray that the universe provides you with an infinite amount of abundance.

A bunch of thank you and love for @masks-by-dibi !!!!!!! Dibi also made one for my bf and it fits him wonderfully also. I appreciate you so much !!!!!!!!

[masks-by-dibi]

i’m so glad they fit!!! you look lovely :)

Maybe an option to give you more if they have more to give? $15 does seem very low

I mean, if you want to, I’m okay with that, but my standard rate is $5 if you provide the materials, $10 if I buy them, and since I can get a lot of masks out of a yard of fabric, $15 seems fair for slightly more expensive materials. 

[systlin]

Could I charge more? Probably. But I specifically don’t wish to, since, y’know, global plague and all that. 

[masks-by-dibi]

I also am happy to send a mask no-charge to anyone who can’t afford one. I can’t do fancier materials for free but i have plenty of 100% cotton masks to share :)

Organizations and Maximums

Over the past week or so I’ve had about 4 different organizations and businesses reach out to me asking me to be their mask supplier. Here is my official statement regarding such things in the future.

I am willing to send 1 free mask per person, and 3 free masks per household. You can ask for a mask on behalf on a maximum of two adults besides yourself, if you’ve reached your maximum but have a friend that would like a mask please encourage them to contact me themselves. I am reachable via DMing this blog or my text able business number: [phone].

If you are looking for masks on behalf of an organization/business or want more than 3 masks I ask that you pay $5 for each mask plus shipping, dm me for further details. 

I’d like to reemphasize that I am a single person whose personal hobby very quickly became a potentially lifesaving resource. These masks are free because I feel that it’s wrong to charge people for an essential health resource that I have in abundance, when I am in a financial place to offer it for free. I am not an endless pool of money, time, and resources that can easily afford to donate 50 masks to a for-profit business. 

I am still able and happy to send free masks to people and their family, I take pride in doing my part during these difficult times. I truly believe that health necessities should be accessible to people of all incomes. 

If you want a mask and can afford to, please consider buying me a ko-fi to help me with the costs of stamps, so I can continue doing this as long as possible :)

tl;dr: sending a couple masks to your family= easy, fun, able to have be free. sending a box of masks to your nail salon= a lot of work, stressful, you better be able to pay me

Thanks @masks-by-dibi !!

[masks-by-dibi]

WAYS TO SUPPORT/BE AN ALLY

Here is a compilation of places to donate (IF you can, simply reblogging and sharing this can help) and petition to sign. I found these websites and organizations on twitter.

DONATIONS

THE MINNESOTA  FREEDOM FUND: Donate to this to collect funds to pay jail bonds for the protesters who get arrested.

BLACK LIVES MATTER: An organization fighting for the BLM movement. Donate if you can. 

BLACK VISIONS MN: an organization that is led by Black, Queer and Trans people. Donate if you can.

NAACP Legal Defense Fund: Fights for the overall equality fight. Donate if you can.

PETITIONS

Willie Simmons has spent 38 years in prison for a $9 robbery. He had two prior convictions similar to robbery that he served time for. He was prosecuted under the Alabama Habitual Offender law and was given a life sentence for his third strike - stealing 9 (NINE) dollars. Sign his petition. 

Breonna Taylor was killed by police who were conducting an UNANNOUNCED drug raid, where they gave no request to enter. They bashed her door and entered, shooting her EIGHT times. They were in the WRONG HOUSE. 

George Floyd was killed by a police officer who knelt on his neck and suffocated him to death, after George pleaded with the officer and told him he couldn’t breathe. The officer had pulled him from where he sat in his car on an alleged FORGERY. You can also text “FLOYD” to 55156

ARREST THE OFFICERS WHO KILLED GEORGE FLOYD: The main police officer who murdered George is being kept in PROTECTIVE CUSTODY. You probably have heard he was arrested, but this is NOT TRUE. He was placed under PROTECTIVE custody because of the riots and “threats” on his life. 

If you know of ANY other organizations or petitions, PLEASE ADD TO THIS LIST. The fight for justice doesn’t end here, it will never end. Especially when the president of the United States calls white supremacists good people and protesters of a mans death THUGS. USE YOUR VOICE. NO JUSTICE, NO PEACE. FUCK COPS. FUCK “BLUE LIVES”. ALL BLACK LIVES MATTER!
