We are raising money to launch our "New and Improved" extended protection, ALCOHOL-FREE hand sanitizer.
At the same time Create Awareness that old
alcohol hand sanitizers are not as effective
in the fight against the FLU Bug.
Let's show everyone how to help better protect ourselves from Germs, like "Bugsy".
We need your help raising money to Launch our "New and Improved" Alcohol-Free, Extended germ fighting hand sanitizer with Wound Care. A percentage of the donations will be going toa 501c3 charity, Samaritans Offering Support(SOS).(see below for more details)
There is a better way to protect ourselves, our families and our communities from germs that can get us sick. Imagine not having to worry about contaminated hands that have opened the doors before us, touched the chairs of our office or pushed the buttons on office equipment. We would not have to worry about our children playing with kids who wipe their runny noses with the same hands that pick up books, type on the keyboards or play on the playground. Let's get the secret out that there is a better option to protect everyone from GERMS, like "Bugsy"!
The time is now to take action for a healthier you, healthier family and healthier community.
Thank You!
We work very hard to protect our families...
As a single parent working full-time, my work schedule is demanding and any changes because of unexpected school closure due to the flu would turn my schedule into a nightmare. In today's environment, the reality is that school closure is not for days, it can be for weeks at a time. This can be very devastating financially.

"FLU EPIDEMIC HAS CLOSED SCHOOLS IN AT LEAST 12 STATES, AND ADMINISTRATORS SAY THAT'S NOT NORMAL", according to Taylor Swaak's article in Newsweek 1-24-2018
We, as parents, work very hard to keep our families safe from harm. We keep our homes clean. We use safe and environmentally focused products whenever possible. But there is nothing we can do to prevent our families from getting sick because of sick kids or co-workers.
.... Or is there???

A sick child walks into school coughing, sneezing and touching things all around them, spreading those “sick” germs to everything they touch including kids and teachers. Other kids touch these contaminated things that have these “sick” germs on them, they touch their face and they can be at risk to get sick also. Those same germs can be carried home and that’s where it can spread to the rest of the family.
#TOUCH
We touch our face 3000 times a day
Did you know we touch our face with our hands between 2000 – 3000 times a day without even realizing it? That’s 2 -5 times per minute, which seems unreal, but take a moment to observe where your hands are right now.

The current solution that is being used to fight off the flu today is to wash hands often and use alcohol-based hand sanitizers. Washing hands is the gold standard... BUT...
*Article*
… Alcohol-based hand sanitizers are only effective while the sanitizer is wet on your skin. The reality is, Alcohol based hand sanitizers are only effective for about 2 minutes!
*Article*
Popular belief is that when we use hand sanitizers, our hands stay germ-free. That is not true! When your hands dry, the next time you touch something contaminated, your hands can get recontaminated and you have to reapply the alcohol sanitizer. The fact is that alcohol sanitizers are only effective for a few minutes. "What we have here" is a false sense of security!!! That's insane!
There had to be something that can be done to help ease the spread of the flu bug. I could not find a better solution. The solutions I found have been the same for decades, yet the flu epidemics keep getting worse. It's Insanity that we keep using the same solutions year after year and expect better results.

Healthy Solution
But there is a better option… I’m proud to introduce Health"E"Hands. A small group of my Friends and I scraped together what we could and after 2 years of development and research, created Health"E"Hands. Health"E"Hands is an alcohol-free, extended protection hand sanitizer that can last for an extended period of time. That's right, this sanitizer keeps killing germs for hours. It kills 99.99% of Germs, is Alcohol-Free, non-stinging, non-irritating and made in the USA.
Health"E"Hands is now available in most Pilot/Flying J Travel Centers. The best news is that we have a "New and Improved" version. The 2021 version is Alcohol-Free, has Extended germ killing protection and is Made in the USA. Best of all is that it now has the added benefit of Wound Care. Health"E"Hands new 2021 version will help promote wound healing in addition to extended protection.
Our problem is that we do not have the funding to produce this new 2021 version until Summer 2020. All our funds are tied up in our current version now. This version is still a better option than alcohol based sanitizers. The previous FLU season's have continued to break records of sickness and worse. We want to get this "New and Improved"version out this Fall to help fight this year Flu season and not have to wait till 2021. That is why we are here. We need your help to produce this new version and make it available ASAP. We have the prototype ready for production. We just don't have the funds.
Awareness Campaign
Making the 2021 Health"E"Hands version available is one thing, it's another to make people aware of it. We are going to raise Awareness that there is a better option. For certain donation amounts we receive, we will get Health"E"Hands to the donor and give more Health"E"Hands to different charities and groups. We will then take part of that donation and make more ads, more videos, more social media advertising telling everyone about the benefits of Health"E"Hands. It is important that we protect ourselves from the germs that we will be exposed to every day. Applying Health"E" Hands protects us for hours from the germs that we encounter. Health"E" Hands offers a true sense of security.
How does your donation help the Campaign?
For every donation to the Campaign, there are several things that will happen.
First, we will send Health"E"Hands to donors that donate a certain amount(we pay S&H).
Second, we are partnering with the 501c3 charity, Samaritans Offering Support. SOS will receive the donated sanitizers and help to get them distributed to those that need them the most.
Donors will receive an email receipt with SOS EIN# so that they may be able to use for tax purposes. **We cannot offer tax advice, so please check with your tax advisor if you have questions about donations.**
Third, we will increase the number of Awareness ads, videos, commercials and tutorials for social media. We will print educational materials and mail out to businesses and schools nationwide to let them know there is a better option. We will also attend and create more Awareness Events while continuing to increase donations to Charities.
