The pandemic that is known as Covid-19 has caused millions of Malaysians to suffer through health and financially. Fortunately, our Malaysian frontliners such as the good people at Malaysian Red Crescent works effortlessly each and every day to help those that are affected. However, saving humanity comes at a cost. With that said, the Charity Bidding was created with one aim in mind which is to gather funds to donate to the Malaysian Red Crescent in order to help them continue this fight with Covid-19. The Charity Bidding was running from 1-30th July 2021 with our official e-wallet partner GrabPay and consist of 2 sessions with a huge variety of products that are available for bidding thanks to some of our sponsors such as Acer, HP, TP-Link, Asus, Logitech, Futoromic AV Sdn Bhd, Zuru, Fitbit & Targus including items such as notebooks, routers, headsets, smartwatches and many more.
In total, we've successfully garnered a sum of RM16,481.90 within the whole month of July and were all channelled to the Malaysian Red Crescent – a non-profit organization that is well known for lending a hand to whoever those are in need. With the donations received, the Malaysian Red Crescent were able to successfully execute their Oxygen Concentrator Project by assisting many victims of Covid-19 that are on home quarantine while suffering from non-immediate life-threatening respiratory problems and those post covid patients who still requires oxygen assistance after they’re discharged from the hospital.
In addition, the donation received will also be used for the allowance of the volunteers from the Malaysian Red Crescent that were stationed at PPV center's where they are assigned to assist and transport patients with post vaccine reactions. Lastly, fundings are also allocated for the Disaster Response Team as they play a very important role by helping the most vulnerable community. Lunch was provided for the local community of around 2000 people that are affected by the pandemic while Family kits & Home Care kits are also distributed among them. The Malaysian Red Crescent fully supports local disasters such as the recent flash flood at Central Seberang Perai District.As promised by the Malaysian Red Crescent, any additional funds from the donation will be allocated for future projects to ensure that they could provide and assist as many affected Malaysians as possible.
