Stay at Home and Stay Blessed

Corona Virus (COVID-19) is spreading rapidly in the world, due to this virus whole the world is quarantined in their houses and it seems that a huge disaster in near future if the necessary measures could not take well in time.

As I and my family consider the global pandemic we are facing, I’m struck by the far-reaching effects on almost every individual, family and community all over the world. Corona Virus (COVID-19)  is a challenge that makes us feel vulnerable and uncertain, yet somehow universally connected, all at once. Like every person I and my Family closely following public health guidelines and doing our part to break the spread of this virus. Now more than ever, it’s imperative to stay at home, if possible, in a collective effort to support those working selflessly on the front lines to keep us well.

During this time of social distancing – and renewed perspective – As many of the people who can afford are helping the isolated families in kind of food and other essentials. In this situation I and my Family have talked extensively about what we can continue to do to help make a difference in this very difficult time. The magnitude of the problem is frightening, and it is vitally important to us that help reaches as many people and families as possible. So we decided to disseminate awareness to the isolated families. First, we want to do our part to ensure that this virus becomes treatable and is eradicated as quickly as possible.
