“Needless to say that the grant will assist us to cover the unintended expenses imposed on us by COVID-19 pandemic. This grant will make it possible to provide PPE (gloves, masks) and hand sanitizers to the caregivers and the clients so that they are protected better. We will also consider purchasing one laptop in case the situation calls for any one in the office has to work from home for quarantine purpose. We sincerely thank Neighbors United Funding Collaborative and its Midway United Fund for giving us the additional boost we needed in fighting the invisible enemy, COVID-19.”
– Abe Dalu, A&A Reliable Home Health Care, LLC
“These funds will be utilized to continue Zoom programming and purchase supplies for our artists with disabilities so they can continue to create professional art in a safe environment. Some of our artists have been isolated and to reconnect with Interact artistic staff is vital and necessary: Thank you!”
