Love Protects: Supporting Healthcare Heroes

Tax deductible
As you know, Covid-19 is brutally taking the lives of so many people all over the world, and we Americans are now fighting this common enemy.  Although we are all in this together, and staying home to prevent the spread, it is our healthcare providers who are on the front line—we need them safe and healthy to win these ongoing battles. Without them, we are defenseless! Too many doctors and nurses have already contracted the virus, so they can no longer continue their heroic work. And devastatingly, some have lost their lives in this fight.  We need to HELP!!! Please donate to make sure our healthcare providers are properly equipped with the FDA approved protective gear they need—if doctors and nurses are healthy, WE stay healthy. Donate to save the lives of our healthcare providers, and in return, they’ll save yours!! 

Our first priority is keeping the professionals protected, but they are also overworked, exhausted and hungry, so we will also use donation money for food from local restaurants.  Therefore, we can help small businesses get back to work and feed our heroes. 

100% of donations will go to the supplies and food for healthcare professionals. 

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER!!  ONE COUNTRY, IN ONE WORLD, FIGHTING FOR EVERY LIFE!!

Pulse Oximeters for our Heroes at New York Presbyterian Hospital 
"Together with my team I would like to thank you and everyone who supported your charity for such a generous donation.  We have many patients on oxygen support without close monitoring.  Pulse oximeters are so helpful in quick patient assessment and will allow us to provide better care for our COVID patients.  We highly appreciate it."
