Recently, there has been a pandemic that has turned life, as we know it, upside-down. A life-threatening disease known as COVID-19 (Coronavirus) is spreading quickly throughout the world, and the number of cases grows each day.
Even though times like these are rough, there is still hope shining through.
The World Health Organization, also known as WHO, is an organization that is dedicated to helping people get health coverage, protection from health emergencies, and helps with overall health and well-being.
WHO is leading and coordinating people to prevent, detect, and respond to the crisis by giving information, allowing people to donate, and by answering questions. People are currently able to donate through the COVID-19-Solidarity Response Fund. By donating, you will be supporting WHO’s work to ensure that patients get the care they need, that frontline workers get the essential supplies and information, and that research accelerates with the hope of developing a vaccine.
In times like this, it is important to fund organizations such as WHO because it helps people throughout our country to receive the health care they need and to help our hospitals keep up with patient care. Without organizations like this, many more people could be affected by COVID-19, and many more lives could be lost.
Donating even the smallest amount can make a big difference.

Please make sure to stay safe and healthy during these difficult times!
