Mikey Network Ambassadors Donate Non-Surgical Masks to the Sick Kids Foundation

Looking to make an impact on the fight against COVID-19, Meagan & Amanda Damota, current medical students and ambassadors for The Mikey Network, will be producing and donating over 100 non-surgical masks to the SickKids Foundation.

With over 100 masks set to be delivered this Tuesday and with more in production, the students were inspired by Canadian chief medical officer Dr. Theresa Tam who suggested that wearing a non-medical facial mask could slow the spread of COVID-19, along with the previously prescribed measures of vigilant hand-washing, social distancing and self-isolation.

“By producing and donating these non-surgical masks we hope to help the incredible staff and families stay protected against COVID-19,” says Meagan Damota. “As a country and as a community we are all in this together, and we hope our protective gear can ease some of the stress families and staff are enduring during this difficult time all while aiding the hospital in their fight against COVID-19,” adds Amanda Damonta.

“Meagan and Amanda have played an integral part of The Mikey Network and we are excited to be part of this amazing endeavour,” says Eva Naumovski, President of The Mikey Network. “The Mikey Network is a proud supporter of SickKids through The Mikey Kids program and we
are honoured to be able to provide a helping hand.”

“As a country and as a community we are all in this together, and we hope our protective gear can ease some of the stress families and staff are enduring during this difficult time all while aiding the hospital in their fight against COVID-19,” adds Amanda Damonta.

We are so proud to have Meagan & Amanda on Team Mikey!
