I posted the following on the Hope Rescue FB Page on September 8:
Oxygen. The world is aware of the demands for oxygen that the pandemic has caused. Especially hit are underdeveloped nations that cannot physically or economically provide this essential treatment to suffering patients. For someone fighting the Coronavirus, the immediate relief that pure oxygen delivers is nothing short of miraculous.
We wish we could provide tanks to every patient in need. Treatments at home are necessary, regardless of a person’s failing condition simply because the hospital system is beyond capacity and cannot accept even the most serious of cases. So we will bring the tanks into your home and set it up based on your doctor’s orders or our own medical director’s advice. It’s an honor to do so.
However, we are also stretched beyond what we could handle. Please continue to message us if you’re in need of a tank because supplies may be available. As long as you know that we may not be able to fulfill your request. We promise to do our best.
***As a reminder to family members, please treat oxygen as you would medicine - as serious treatment that can have adverse effects. Contact a healthcare provider to confirm the need for it as well as to determine the flow rate and type of delivery system. If you don’t have a family physician, search the hundreds of available online telemedical consultants on your browser or social media platforms. Oxygen tanks are also dangerous and should be set up by trained professionals while following their instructions to prevent injury and harm. Stay safe friends!
