Coronavirus Relief Fund Update 9 (Final Update)
Final summary
The last update was
04/17/2020, update 8.
Total Fund raised:
$41885.26.
Total expenditure:
$38,928.76.
Remaining fund:
$2956.50
1. Activities:
Stage 1:
Purchasing and sending PPE to China
to helping hospitals
Stage 2:
Purchasing and distributing about 25K PPE (masks and protection gowns) to
local communities, hospitals, and Hospitals in the New York/NJ/Virginia
area. We have provided help when the community’s needs were the
greatest.
The following is an
incomplete list of communities we helped:
·
Prisma health / Richland
hospital
·
VA hospital
·
Columbia Free clinic
·
God’s helping hand Clinic
·
Eau Claire Cooperative Health
·
About 12 nursing homes, clinics and assisted living facilities in Columbia and Lexington.
2. Current needs:
Most
of the nursing homes and health clinics are doing much better. As an example,
Eau Claire Cooperative Health has been one our main relief targets. Now
they stop accepting individual PPE donations now. The last batch we
donated to them went to local churches associated with the Eau claire.
However, Free Clinics still needs more support, their supplies are low.
Thanks to the all
community partners we have been working with, which include many local Chinese
communities, USC professors, MVI (Multinational Medical Volunteer), Lexington Hospital pastors (through Pastor Tom).
3. Future plan:
The fund has stopped
receiving donations by the end of May.
The remaining fund
(2956.50) and remaining masks (about 800 masks) will be reserved for the
fall and winter when we expect the second wave of COVID 19. Our goal is
always to support those who have urgent needs.
