Help for Heroes Ontario

Our gofundme campaign that has helped us serve the community back in so many wonderful ways, will be closed this week.

Sarav and I want to thank all of our friends and families and the community here who've helped us along and encouraged us. Let's keep the momentum going and support our healthcare facilities and essential services; and treat them with patience and respect that they deserve.

Let's keep our seniors and the elderly in our hearts and minds and wish them best ahead as they recover from this illness. We have many many that have been impacted in LTCs. Let's wish them well and support them any way we can.

Finally and definitely not the least, Our wishes and thoughts are for Personal Support Workers that make Taking care of the elderly, their life's work and treat someone else's family member as their own caring for them 24x7. A huge thank you to these wonderful individuals.

We can pay fair cost for these but we don't support gouging at all. These things ARE available to be directed to our Heroes. Help us find them and buy them at fair prices: https://www.goFundMe.com/CareForOntarioHeroes

We wanted to recognize some small but genuine and caring gestures through this week to support the urgent need!.A handful of N95s contributed by Gurpreet from www.GTAPortraits.com (GTA Portraits)|We appreciate it!.And a colleague of ours Downtown Toronto who paid an exorbitant price just to buy us a few N95s from a local corner-store so we could send it to where its needed most.

We need more contributions like these coming in... Every little gesture to share your supplies helps!

Keep your support coming!

Hello Everyone

Given the current situation of our health care, We have started a fund raising initiative to help people on the front lines. We personally know a few people that are working in hospitals and seniors care homes which have totally run out of PPE or have few days supply left. New supply is coming but it's not fast enough, and not reaching everywhere at the same time.
We are seeing posts, articles and staff memos from hospitals asking staff to keep reusing their supplies until they are "thoroughly soiled" (masks). This is a huge risk to the folks that are caring for the sick and elderly. Let's do our part to make a difference.

We are asking your help to help us purchase much needed supplies locally and overseas ASAP using our pooled funds. We have had our gofundme campaign capture a great momentum in the initial few days. We continue to need your support. Please click on the link below this post to go directly to the fundraiser and pitch in however you can.

The funds will be used to buy PPE for health care workers in hospitals and senior homes and to help seniors and needy people in community.

Please Take Action Now and Help us Help the Heroes!

We are also asking people to donate any extra supplies that they might have like gloves, sanitizers and masks to us so we can provide to the people that really need it.
