Update #5 - 31/03/2020

Thank you to all who have donated so far. We have far exceeded the amount which we were intending for reflecting you support for our cause to deliver PPE to frontline NHS staff.

We have been working hard behind the scenes and around the clock to be able to deliver the PPE as efficiently as possible. This is not without its challenges which include the complexity of dealing with this globally with increased demand on PPE supplies.

We have been directly working with the government with guidance on the types of PPE and supplies required. There are also ever-changing flight constraints with increased supply-demand dynamics which is constantly evolving.

Rest assured we are all working hard on top of our regular commitments and right now are processing the orders of PPE.

Update and why this is so so important to me as an individual . My Uncle passed away 29/3 . Aunty sick ( Retired nurse ). Uncles care worker sick now because of it ( whos is also my little sister's best pall Who has small children ) My Sister is a biomedical scientist in the hospital too with a 3 year old. My Mrs works with in adequate protection in a covid ward . Covid rooms in her ward just waiting to be filled up. Cousin works as senior staff nurse in a ward along with his wife and his sister. Cousin who's dad passed away on 29/3 works as a nurse in high dependency. Along with another couple of cousins that are nurses too. My Mrs sister and Neice's are nurses too. And this is just the very beginning of this crisis . This in the same area and the same hospital. Anything you could do by donations or just simple sharing this campaign would be a great help and I would be eternally grateful. Ive spent the last 2 days constantly sharing this on whatsapp or more especially Twitter contacting celebrities and ordinary people asking them to share this link only 2 celebrities out of literally hundreds upon hundreds of people asking to retweet and they haven't. I think that is uterlly shameful. But I will not be deterred I will now be sending not one request but literally dozens of requests until they retweet and share . Less than1% of people have shared up till now. Just to put it in perspective the death rate from this horrible virus is at a far higher percentage. Thanks for taking the time to read if you did. This is just my story there are far more people in worse situations. Yours sincerely Kenneth Green. P.s if you want to share this testimony you have my permission
