McGregor said any kind of donation to GO Campaign’s relief fund will help in saving lives. “As Covid rages through India, GO Campaign needs your help to provide PPE, emergency food, medicine, pulse oximeters, and resuscitators to those who need it. Any donation amount can make a difference and can help save lives,” he said. The GO Campaign’s COVID Relief Fund will provide PPE, oximeters, food to families in need (including in Mumbai’s slum area Dharavi), daily health checks, homeschooling for children, access to vaccinations, medicine and ambu bags (manual resuscitators).
In recent times, many international personalities including actors Jennifer Aniston, Hugh Jackman, James McAvoy, singers Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendes, have appealed to their fans on social media to donate for various relief funds to help India.
