Discouraged, she kept at it and called the next company on her list: Visiontech Solutions Group in Troy, Virginia. Voila! Little did she know she was reaching out to kinfolk.<\/p><p>Company CEO Rick Perrault said he would be happy to help. After all, he said, &ldquo;we are part of the UMW Eagle family.&rdquo; Turns out Perrault had not only PPE but a daughter, Alexandra, a freshman at UMW. And the best news of all: He donated the supplies. He said that would be his honor and privilege.&ldquo;<\/p><p>Jones estimates the fair market value of Visiontech&rsquo;s donation would be upwards of $1,500. Most appreciated were several hundred of the elusive and expensive masks. Also included in the donation were disposable protective suits, face shields, goggles, and a few hand sanitizing items.<\/p><p>Jones said the donation will enable more Facilities workers to return to work on campus and be properly safeguarded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Give Robin Jones a task, and she is like a dog on a bone.
