Our Story

The coronavirus pandemic has become a global threat. With the United States now having the most confirmed cases in the world, and New York being the American epicenter, the local need for personal protective equipment (PPE) is at an all-time high.

On March 23rd, 2020, four American nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) partnered with three Chinese NGOs to form the COVID-19 Life Preservation Initiative. Together, we hope to fight the pandemic hand in hand with the rest of the US, by helping to protect healthcare workers, first responders, community volunteers and vulnerable populations. It is our human calling to help one another, regardless of our politics, borders, religion or race. To defeat COVID-19, we must put aside all biases, prejudices and preconceptions. United we stand. Divided we fall.
