The nature of how the virus is spread means that the demand for scrubs is especially high,” Scott said on GoFundMe.costume designer Caroline McCall and the costumers are providing their services for free, with money raised simply funding materials.
In an update on Monday, Scott added: “I’m so delighted to report that this has gone way beyond any of our expectations – both in donations and also in offers of help.
