My Story
Hi! Thank you for clicking into this fundraising page, I am very glad that you are here! Just like myself, I am sure you must be itching to make sure you are making the best use of the HK$2000 handout. After some research, I have come across HandsOn Hong Kong (
https://www.handsonhongkong.org/), an organsation that aims to serve and empower local communities through volunteer work. While underpriviledged communities are going through an extremely hard time during Covid-19, this organisation and its volunteers have been deliver multiple relief projects that particularly help the underserved. Here are examples of their good work...
Our COVID-19 relief ‘Emergency item list’: since the local outbreak, HandsOn Hong Kong has been in close contact with each of our 100+ under-resourced charity partners to understand their most critical needs. We compiled these and immediately published their required emergency items. By sharing these with the broader community, we have been able to direct tens of thousands of masks, hand sanitizers and alcohol wipes to these charities—as well as bulk deliveries of rice and food.
Our COVID-19 relief ‘check-in phone calling’ program: This program connects volunteers with self-isolating elderly in need of emotional support, and has received considerable uptake. Our team is quickly now working to expand this program in collaboration with five of our elderly centre partners.
Our COVID-19 relief ‘care package delivery’ program: This program brings necessity food items, masks, alcohol wipes and hand sanitizers directly to the doorsteps of low-income families and elderly, who are facing financial hardship and unable to safely access these themselves. Within two days of launching the first phase of this program on April 14th, nearly all spots for the next month were filled—with more than 150 volunteers mobilized. By the end of June, they will have made over 2,000 doorstep deliveries to support the city's most vulnerable. Now you are also supporting one of the expanded sessions of the delivery program.
If these projects sound like something you would like to help financially support, please feel free to make a donation through this page, your donation will be transferred to their paypal directly. Alternatively you can also make a bank deposit:
Account Name: HandsOn Hong Kong Limited

Thanks for reading the above, hope you have the best day today!!
Peace out,
Natalie
