Mask-ER-Aides started in 2015 as funny cartoon faces hand-drawn on surgical masks. The original masks were designed to bring a smile to the faces of those who cannot see smiles on their visitors’ faces. These patients spend days or weeks staring at the same blank blue/white/sterile rectangle. These blue rectangles hide the smiles, frowns and often personality of the person wearing the mask.
Jeff’s hand drawn cartoon face mask patterns were an instant hit with the nurses and doctors in the isolation area where his wife Stacey was confined due to her Acute Myeloid Leukemia. Soon the nurses and doctors on her floor requested cartoon masks of their own. Smiles and laughter started seeping into the oncology isolation department of Carolinas Medical Center’s main hospital and Mask-ER-Aides was born.
