The Hero Masks Project

We are skipping the normal system of distributors and wholesalers that supply hospitals, doctors, businesses, and retailers.

We are going directly to the overseas manufacturers that normally supply most products to this country.

We are cutting out all the middlemen, going directly to the people making what we need and buying it directly from them and they are shipping it directly to us by air freight.

The simple answer is because they don’t know how to.

The distribution and ordering systems they always use has always worked before, and they’ve never needed to learn another way.

We’ve worked on earlier projects that required sourcing (finding a supplier or manufacturer) a variety of products from all over the world, particularly from China and India.

We also work with sourcing specialists who help with the process and make it go smoother.

We are a husband and wife team providing business and internet consulting.  We have our two newly 24/7 small co-workers “helping” us (aka children) now on a regular basis, greatly increasing our productivity…um maybe.

Between the two of us, we have almost 70 years of experience helping organizations solve their problems.

As many organizations (governments, distributors, hospitals, retailers, etc.) are having major problems getting the stuff they need, we are using our very specialized set of skills to do an end-run around the normal procurement process and get stuff from the source, and get it here more quickly than conventional ocean shipping channels permit.

Because we’ve been solving other peoples’ problems for nearly 70 years (combined).

And this country has a BIG PROBLEM right now with hospitals, doctors, nurses and front-line workers not having the protection they need to do their job safely.

Unless this problem gets solved, more people are going to get sick and die.

So we’re gonna fix it, however much we can given the resources this thing can raise.

Check our About Us page.  From there you can see our LinkedIn profiles and websites featuring decades of high-level professional experience and plenty of references, projects, and testimonials.

If that isn’t enough you can Contact Us and let us know what you’d like to know about us.

We wish we knew.

They have the resources to do this, but between partisanship, general governmental inefficiency, and differences of opinion in how preparations and stockpiles should be managed, it hasn’t happened.

So we’re stepping in as Good Citizens and trying to help our country out.

They could, but they don’t know how to.

We’d be happy to have them learn, but we don’t have time to teach them right now. We just have to do the thing!

They can find out how to do this by Googling things like “how to import from china to USA” just like we did years ago.

But they don’t have time to figure it all out now, so we’re trying to do it.

You give us money.

We buy stuff hospitals, doctors, businesses, etc. need with the money from overseas manufacturers and have it sent by air-freight back to our operations here.

We either sell the stuff at-cost or donate it, depending on the level of need and the budgets available.

Selling at-cost is preferred, as we can then use the money to buy more stuff, but we will also donate where needed.

We are operating this campaign as a ZERO-PROFIT operation until the pandemic crisis is over.

Any money and resources left in the campaign when the crisis is over will be donated to an appropriate non-profit.

We will be posting regularly on our blog about what we are buying and where it is going so that everybody knows what’s going on with their money.

We are NOT operating this as a non-profit organization because it takes months to set one up, many government offices are closed or short-staffed, and by then it will be too late to make the impact we need to make.

We are running this through our existing business structure, Gallagher Innovations, Inc. (click for proof of status) which has been in continuous operation since January 23, 2006.

Donations are NOT expected to be tax-deductible (ask your accountant for a professional opinion), but you’ll likely be saving someone’s life, which is better than saving a few bucks on your taxes, in our opinion.

We are operating this campaign as a ZERO-PROFIT operation until the pandemic crisis is over.

Any money or inventory left in the campaign when the crisis is over will be donated to an appropriate non-profit.

We help people not die.

We feel good about ourselves.

We probably get a bump in SEO rankings from inbound links to the site, and probably some press coverage, but mostly:

We help people not die.

You help people not die.

You feel good about yourself.

You probably get a bump in serotonin levels from your good deeds, and probably help your karma.  But mostly:

You help people not die.

Please join us in making this grow.

You can help by:

• Donating money so we can buy needed items
• Donating time/effort to help with everything we need to do
• Directing organizations who need supplies to contact us
