“I’m running literally 18-hour, 20-hour days,” she said, either hunting down good prices for the PPE or standing outside hospitals asking employees what they need. University Hospital was the only one of a dozen hospitals that Shearer and Housing Works have called that welcomed them onto their property. She just showed up outside public hospitals like Kings County, Bellevue, and North Central Bronx, and was inundated with not just hospital workers but public housing residents and the homeless. Shearer said she’s provided receipts for American-made, name-brand purchases — sealed boxes of DuPont and Medline, all FDA approved. She’s provided PPE for the two shelters King set up in hotels for homeless people with covid-19.
