PCJ sets up fundraiser for India’s COVID battle

Appeals to US Govt. to send vaccines to India

Priyanka Chopra is doing everything possible to help India fight against the Novel Coronavirus. The power icon has set up a fundraiser with the Give India Foundation to contribute towards battling COVID-19 in her home country.

“I am sitting in London and hearing from my friends and family in India about how hospitals are at capacity, there are no rooms in ICUs, ambulances are too busy, oxygen supply is less, crematoriums having mass cremations because the volume of death is so much. India is my home, and India is bleeding. We, as a global community, need to care. And I’ll tell you why we need to care — because unless everyone is safe, no one is safe. So, please use your resources and focus your energy on helping stop this pandemic. Please donate and please use your resources as much as you can. India needs you,” the actress wrote.

Priyanka explained that the fundraiser would directly benefit the physical healthcare infrastructure, which includes COVID care centres, isolation centres, oxygen generation plants, medical equipment and vaccine support infrastructure.

The actress announced that she and her husband Nick Jonas have already donated funds and will do more.

Earlier, Priyanka took time to interact with netizens online and promised that aid would be arranged as soon as possible. She also appealed to the US government to share vaccines with India urgently.

“India is my home, and India is bleeding. We, as a global community, need to care. Unless everyone is safe, no one is safe. So, please use your resources and focus your energy on helping stop this pandemic. Please donate... India needs you,” the actress wrote.
