Protect our healthcare workers today!


Over the past few weeks, the rapidly developing outbreak of COVID-19 caused by novel Coronavirus has upended our lives in an unprecedented way. The number of confirmed cases in Iowa has been growing rapidly. Johnson County and eastern Iowa are especially hit hard by this pandemic. While many of us can take precautionary measures by working from home, healthcare workers, first responders, and urgent child care givers are at the frontline grappling with this pandemic. As they continue to work around the clock, the dire shortage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE such as masks and face shield) is putting their lives at risk. As reported in Patch, 10 of the first 44 COVID-19 cases in Philadelphia are healthcare workers.

To protect our colleagues and friends working in frontline fighting COVID-19, we are asking your generous support for purchasing essential PPE for our doctors, nurses and many other first responders before these PPE run out soon. We have secured a few reliable medical suppliers in China. We have purchased the first batch of PPE including 6,000 surgical masks, 2,000 N95 masks and 150 face shields, which will be donated to the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and other healthcare providers in Iowa.

Our target is to raise $30,000. All of them will be used to purchase PPE for Iowa’s healthcare workers fighting COVID-19. Now it is time for us to come together to safeguard the safety and well-being of the community at large. 

We are all in this, and we will get through this together. When we defeat this pandemic, kids will run freely in the parks again, friends will visit, hug and laugh with one another, and families will explore nature and cities. Let’s act NOW and make an impact!

You can also donate PPE directly to UIHC: https://uihc.org/kind-donations


守护家园,保护医护人员,刻不容缓!

Covid-19的爆发已经遍及全球,改变了我们的生活。Iowa州的确诊数日日攀升,以Johnson County为中心的Iowa东部地区是此次疫情的重灾区。 为了遏制病毒传播,医护人员们已经奋斗在战疫第一线。为了保证我们的基本生活,警察、消防员、邮递员、幼儿保育员还在辛勤工作。现在,前线抗疫的医护人员防护设备严重不足,一旦医务人员倒下,医疗体系瘫痪,后果将不堪设想!因此,守护好我们的医院是此次防疫的重中之重,决定此次战疫的最终成败。

我们向所有人大声疾呼:保护我们的守护者,关爱我们的身边人,请加入我们的抗疫募捐,所有筹款所得用于采买防疫必需的物资(口罩,防护服,眼罩,面罩等)捐献给医院,社区老人中心,警局和需要的单位。我们的首期捐款目标为30,000美元。首批物资已预订到医用口罩6,000个,N95口罩2,000个,面罩150个。货到后将以最快的速度递送到最需要他们的人们手里。剩余捐款将继续用于物资购买。

守护家园,刻不容缓,覆巢之下,安有完卵。为了可爱的孩子们早日回归校园,为了将更多邻居安全送回他们的亲人身边,为了身边的老人能在阳光下悠闲散步,也为了我们自己的小家能恢复往日的欢声。
