Getting lots of great emails from people. This one is from the owner of Slimfold wallets.

Hey xxxxx - To everyone who's hurting out there, my heart goes out to you. Whether you’ve been a supporter throughout our 10 year history or just became a customer, I want to you know that I truly feel like we're on this journey together.
Our San Francisco production facility has shifted to making washable face masks for medical professionals.
That means our inventory is limited, so grab something if you want one since we don’t know when we’ll be getting more.
Our third-party warehouse continues to operate safely and ship orders out.
We’ll get through this together
While I don’t want to be insensitive to the hardships folks are facing right now, I think there are reasons also to be optimistic.
The world is being brought closer together at the same time as communities are uniting to support each other.
Yesterday 83 year old mom recounted how the polio epidemic ravaged the country when she was a little girl. She remembers not quite understanding why her small town’s swimming pool and movie theatre were closed all summer. It was a vivid reminder that each generation faces immense challenges and that there is always an “after this” even if we don’t yet know what that will look like.
We will likely be recounting these times to our grandkids… where we were, how we felt, and how we made it through.
My approach to most things is to keep things simple. And this is no different. Just trying to take each day as it comes, make it through, and help out however I can.
I want to hear from you
As anyone who’s ever responded to one of these emails knows, I read them all and respond to most as I am able.
If you’re sheltering in place, how are you coping? My 4-year old just joined his first pre-school session online
What does it seem like you and your community are most in need of at the moment? What opportunities are you finding to help?
Thanks again for your support. Take care and be safe!
