Our brave frontliners have been sacrificing themselves in order for us to be safe against the dreaded COVID19 virus. They have worked round-the-clock tirelessly to help us fight the outbreak. Here are some of the organizations that we can support to show our healthcare heroes and frontliners some love.

• Life Cycles PH

With the Enchanced Community Quarantine taking in place, mass transportation has also been suspended. That led to great difficulty to our frontliners who had to go to work, many of whom had to walk their way. Life Cycles PH aims to pair up with hospitals, groceries, drugstores, and LGUs and provide their frontliners with bicycles that they can use to go to and from work.

Life Cycles PH is asking to lend them spare bikes or to donate spare cash in order to purchase new bikes that our workers could use.

Donations can be made to:

Credit Card / GrabPay / GCash
