Desde lejos, pero #EsteVirusLoParamosUnidos

Este virus lo paramos entre todos, estemos donde estemos, pero #EsteVirusLoParamosUnidos.
COVID-19 is expanding much faster than what we can control in Spain. The number of deaths has just gone over 1,000 and the number of new daily cases increases every day that goes by, having the steepest increase in COVID-19 cases worldwide.
Because of this, we feel it is important to provide as much support as possible to the healthcare workers who are always in the frontline in these cases and breaking their back day after day for us. Therefore, we will be raising money to buy protective equipment for healthcare professionals in Spain, where it is starting to lack and many of whom are starting to get infected by the virus because of this problem.
All the money will be donated to one of the main hospitals which has been saturated with patients in Spain these weeks, the hospital of La Paz in Madrid, for them to manage it appropriately and spend it where they know it will be most effective.
We hope that those of you who, like us, are suffering this far away from home, and would like to make a difference to the Spanish community, could contribute to help us join forces and stop this virus together, wherever you are.
