Help the Helpless During COVID-19

The spread of COVID-19 has left people with no jobs, no food, and no shelter. People spend their time glued to the screens in the hope of getting good news. While there is some news that lifts our spirit, most others fill our hearts with sadness and we feel helpless sitting in the comfort of our homes as the count of people dying every day keeps on increasing. In these tough times, it has become essential to stay positive and help the helpless in whichever way you can.

This pandemic has disrupted the economy of the entire world. It has forced economies to shut and we don’t know yet how long it will continue. They shut companies for so many days, resulting in layoffs. There is a serious cash crunch in many organizations, and NGOs in California are no exception.

These not-for-profit organizations work tirelessly to help the helpless people of society. Before pandemic, these organizations including TRUE TO THE STREETS were providing clothes, essential supplies, and food to those who were in need. While they are continuing with their mission of giving, the pandemic has decreased the donations they receive while the number of people they used to feed has increased by many folds. 

What’s worse is that they are running short of helping staff. Even those who want to help them can’t do anything because of restrictions on movement and lockdowns. In such a situation, your donation can help these organizations survive. It can help NGOs and homeless shelters in California to stay floating in these tough times and keep on serving the underserved.

All the doctors, without worrying about their own lives, are working day-in and day-out to help the helpless people who are suffering from this virus. Healthcare workers, sanitation workers, and other frontline workers are doing their best to contain this virus. While we cannot reach their level of dedication, we all can still make a difference. We don’t know whether this pandemic will end soon, but we all can stand together against it. We all can do a little and it will turn into something big. Even your small contribution will make a sizeable difference.

The destitute families need you now more than anything. Provide help for the helpless people. We encourage you to donate money, clothes, essential supplies, or whatever you can, whenever you can, as a response to the unprecedented need caused by COVID-19. With online donations, now you don’t even need to step out of your house.
