We got a note from FLOMMIST Lin Fei Fei – who flew off to China to visit friends and family and to eat her favorite foods #chickenfeet before her next show opens in Sacramento.
Here’s wat she writes:
“I landed in China before the coronavirus virus spread out – unfortunately my timing wasn’t great. Luckily, no one I know is sick. We’re staying at home at least for the next 2 weeks to make sure we stay safe and healthy. So many public places are closed and Medical staff is running out of supplies.
“This is what they need: Gloves, hazmat suits:
“Goggles:
“And N95 respirator masks:
“I want to say thanks to all the people who are sending their greetings and who’ve already offered me these resources. I really appreciate it, we need your help! There are many people that need these supplies right now.
“To donate: If you can, pls just mail them to me. I’ll distribute them to people who are in need while I’m in China.
“DM me thru my Instagram for the mailing address. Thank you!!!”
If there’s any FLOMMISTS (or non-flommists) reading this with medical/industrial hazmat connections who could secure a small or large donation, please contact Lin directly to work out logistics. While in China, Lin can also be reached thru her personal Facebook page/using Messenger.
And here’s a few snaps of the shopping scene in Wafangdian, where Lin is staying:
