Dear brothers and sisters:
In the recent weeks, many of us overseas Chinese have been restless because of the novel coronavirus epidemic that is spreading quickly in China, especially in the Hubei province. Right at this moment, as the virus wreaks havoc, many of our flesh and blood are fighting for their lives. Even though what we can do from afar is very limited, we still long to offer our little help to our folks on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
For this purpose, American Overseas Chinese Foundation (AOCF, EIN 82-0885626), a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, is raising funds to purchase many sets of non-invasive ventilator and oxygen machine combos to send to the tier one hospitals in Hubei. According to the feedback of doctors in these hospitals, this combo is very effective in improving the blood oxygen level of lightly and moderately infected patients. Before this epidemic, many hospitals in Hubei, especially the ones at the prefecture and county levels, didn't even have this equipment.
As of February 14th, AOCF has purchased 14 sets (~$2,100/set) of such machines to donate to hospitals in Xiaogan City and Xianning City in Hubei. 19 more sets will be purchased and donated after that. If you would like to participate in this effort, please contact Sister Helen Hu at [email protected] or 408-750-7722. Your donation will be exclusively used for this purpose. AOCF does not charge any administrative fees. We will provide receipts and tax forms. We will also report back to you how the equipment helps the hospital staff in the field.
To donate:
- Mail a check to AOCF, 2010 EI Camino Real #1186, Santa Clara, CA 95050 paid to the order of AOCF with memo "2019-nCov China Relief"
- Or with PayPal, pay to [email protected] with a note "2019-nCov China Relief"
Thank you so much! May our God be with you and bless you!
American Overseas Chinese Foundation (AOCF)
