The Covid-19 crisis is definitely affecting many people’s lives as the economy has strained, putting the community in the struggle since people can make money like it used to be. During the crisis, many people lost their job, low-class residents are suffering, and health workers are under threat because not many personal protective equipment (APD) are available to protect health personnel from getting transmitted with the virus.
As the struggle continues, lists of donations by groups of community, organisation, and institution are open to help the most vulnerable ones who are hit hardest by the effect of Covid-19. One is able to participate in the donation on online domains which are focused on different kinds of distribution, whether to help health personnel or communities who can fall into devastating poverty.
But, the most important is to make sure that your donations will be distributed to the right person. Recently, the editor of The Chronicle of Philanthropy Stacy Palmer, according to her statement on NRP.org, said that helping people in the community close to one’s neighbourhood is the most important rather than going to donate to a bigger charity ballot. Secondly, verify the reputation of the donation banks and its background is also crucial as many public donations are available out there. Make sure that any of the aid is delivered to the ones who need it the most.
Here are some lists of online donations available for those of you wanting to help the community who have been fighting in the midst of the coronavirus crisis.
