Portland has been filled with smoke for the past few days from surrounding fires. My friend in Portland, Oscar @myhomelessmeals recently tweeted that he was having a hard time with the smoke.
The city was not offering shelters for the residents forced to live outside. I wrote to him and learned that his supply of masks was not adequate for keeping out the smoke.
He's already struggling so with an autoimmune disease and difficulty walking. So we got him some 3M 95 masks that he can use that also have an air filter in them.
My heart goes out to him. He said today it's a bit better.
