Yep,This was the inspiration for the thread title. Speaking of it’s pretty cool Future got involved in helping with the pandemic in a meaningful way. The FreeWishes Foundation, a charitable organization founded by Future, his mother Stephanie Jester, and his sister Tia Wilburn-Anderson 10 years ago, was in the process of prepping new initiatives for 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic struck. “The FreeWishes Foundation really strives all year long to give back to the community, so it kind of put a damper on what we already had been working on,” Wilburn-Anderson tells Complex, noting that the organization’s plans to help marginalized communities through events such as a health and wellness fair this summer. When the pandemic hit, FreeWishes organizers were brainstorming ways they could still make a difference in their community when they started hearing about doctors who needed help. “We started seeing stories about doctors saying they had to reuse their masks, and then some were getting infected because they didn’t have the proper equipment. That was alarming to us,” Abesi Manyando, Communications and Brand Strategist for FreeWishes says. “At first, we were thinking, could we order masks from somewhere? But there were absolutely no masks available—not the specific ones that the healthcare workers needed.” Last month, Future and his FreeWishes Foundation launched the “Mask On” campaign, inspired by the rapper’s 2017 hit, “Mask Off.” While the campaign aims to inspire people to wear masks to protect themselves against the virus, it has evolved to directly respond to the shortage of face masks for medical workers and COVID-19 patients. www.complex.com/music/2020/04/future-mask-on-covid-19-relief-campaign-freewishes-interview
