Help stop COVID-19 spread in Bong County, Liberia
Tax deductible
The COVID-19 virus is quickly spreading in Bong County, Liberia, and the healthcare workers, and people in this region are dying. We need your help, our people are dying! The Healthcare workers and the vulnerable populations are at greater risk. The only Precautionary Observation Center located in the Phebe Hospital hostel requires an urgent face-lift to make it habitable for those who will be isolated and quarantined.
It is against this background that Bong Kwatekeh Association II of Minnesota (BKA) is sending out an SOS call, asking for your urgent support with a donation of any amount to help prepare the facility to isolate and treat COVID-19 cases, to support the healthcare workers, and provide food for those in isolation and quarantine.
The cost of this effort to help stop the spread of the virus in Bong County is $35,000.
Please support BKA GoFundMe by donating and then sharing this link with people in your network, we would greatly appreciate it. We know that money can be tight, so please know that even $5 will help us get closer to our goal!
