Helpless! If you feel that way about this current crisis, you are not alone.
I’ve spoken to many people who feel helpless during this crisis- because we don’t know exactly how we can help.
We are staying home, washing our hands, wearing masks, and watching the news hoping this will come to an end.
You have been bringing Help and Hope around the world with FAME for a long time. Recently we have helped even hospitals and First Responders here in the USA, but it is beginning to look as if that is under control. Now we are preparing for our Global Partners who are about to be hard hit by COVID-19. This has been highly concentrated in China, Europe, the USA, and other developed countries, but that is about to change.
Vulnerable developing countries, where your FAME global partners work, will almost certainly be struck with COVID 19. The current low numbers are due either to a lack of detection or to the time lag between when the virus first spreads and when it begins to manifest. When it does strike, it will do so with a vengeance, as these countries have all the most potent risk factors. Their basic health infrastructure is inadequate. They often lack clean running water. They also have high population densities and family living systems that will impede physical distancing.
Vulnerable developing countries, where the majority of your FAME global partners work are preparing for this pandemic.
Many of you have asked, “Exactly how can I help?”
Here are some examples:
These are frequently requested items by our partners
- $100 for ten Boxes of 100 exam gloves
- $55 for 20 N95 masks
- $45 for an Infrared Thermometer
- $30 for 20 Eye Shields
Your gift of any amount to our Emergency Fund will help us be prepared to meet these expected requests.
Don’t feel helpless! Here’s exactly how you can help.
Look at the list of frequently requested items, pick a dollar amount, and then you can know – you helped a global partner be prepared for the worst.
