Who Is the Masks For Doctors Team?
Dmitry Peregudov, the Founder of Masks For Doctors, is a serial entrepreneur and the CEO of GiftBasketsOverseas.com. He's working tirelessly to ensure that the team has access to quality PPE at some of the best prices, and with quick delivery. To date, Mr. Peregudov has directed the delivery of masks and coverall suits to several hospitals including Bronx Care (NY), Brooklyn Methodist Hospital (NY), St. Barnabas Hospital (NY), North Shore Hospital (Massachusetts), Brigham Women's Hospital (Massachusetts), and several nurses and nursing home assistants around Massachusetts.

NinaCarmen Monroe is another Masks for Doctors team member. Besides cranking out content to bring more exposure, she's also been sending out thank you notes to each donor. She says, "We really can't thank them enough. I wish I could send thank yous to everyone who shares this on their social media. It means the world to us to have help getting our message out there. The support makes what we're doing possible."
Masks for Doctors' initial goal is to send 100,000 masks, 10,000 gowns, and 5,000 shields to doctors and nurses who need them most. If there is still need once Masks for Doctors reaches its initial goal, the team plans to continue its efforts. They promise to use every cent raised – even over and above their goal – for protective gear going to hospitals.
