Gucci and COVID-19 to Italian Civil Protection Department
The entire world has been suffering from the effects of COVID-19. People who have COVID-19 are locked inside hospitals. And the people who don’t have COVID-19 are locked inside their houses. It is a strange situation everywhere. And GUCCI has extended their helping hand towards the forces involved in fighting COVID-19.
Gucci, the supreme fashion brand, has made two very significant donations towards its crowdfunding campaign. It is a good thing; this money would help so many people and also support research on COVID-19. It might be a small step, but it is a ray of hope for so many people.
The first donation
Italian Civil Protection Department (Protezione Civile) received a donation of over one million euros. It was the first donation made by Gucci in Italy. And it is worth appreciating! Gucci made this donation in association with Intesa Sanpaolo, a leading banking group of Italy. It is believed that money would help build more ICU beds for patients and improve the standards of the Italian Health system.
In addition to this, Gucci has made sure that the people who are interested in making a donation can do it via covid19.responsefund.org.
The second donation to COVID-19 Response Fund
Gucci made a second donation, not too late after the first donation, to Solidarity Response Funds. It is a Fund organized in association with WHO to help fight corona. Anyone can visit the website and make a donation. The second donation made was also of 1 million euros. Gucci is one of the 2,00,000 people and organizations that have come forward in this time of crisis.
So what are you waiting for? This is your very chance of making a difference. Utilize it! Your contributions might not be immense like Gucci, but every bit counts. Gucci has demonstrated that health and people come first. The devastation that Italy has witnessed because of the COVID-19 pandemic cannot be explained in words. But it is not the time to fall apart.
