COVID-19 Healthcare Fundraisers
By Friendship Ambassadors
In light of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation would like to encourage our community to donate to fundraisers aimed at supporting relief efforts and healthcare workers serving at the front lines. Below is a starting list of official fundraisers by hospitals and government agencies in need of supplies or monetary donations for medical workers and patients.
The list includes official fundraisers by global organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and International Red Cross, as well as by local hospitals in the New York and Connecticut areas where the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation is located. These are among the most severely impacted areas by COVID-19 in the USA at this time. We also encourage our community from different parts of the world to give to hospitals and clinics in their respective local communities to support patient and provider care.
We are all in this together, and the Friendship Ambassadors Foundation expresses gratitude towards the healthcare providers, doctors, nurses, researchers, and hospital staff for their life-saving work, and to those who continue to provide essential goods and services during this unprecedented time of need.
