Covid-19 – SS Heart Foundation

Standing Together When It Mattered Most

Thank you for your great generosity. The covid-19 crisis in India continues to be a problem with almost 400,000 cases in a day and up to 3,000 deaths in a day. These are the same numbers that we saw during 9/11, here in the United States. Currently, in India, there is a complete lockdown which is starting to make a positive impact, but the peak death rate is not expected to go down until the middle of June. In march of 2019, as covid was starting , our foundation was first to send oxygen concentrators to India and built a covid unit We were able to send 60 oxygen concentrators that are providing up to 5 to 10 liters of oxygen each. Once again, thank you for the generosity and for helping us save lives in India.

A Crisis That Touched Us All

At the height of the pandemic, the daily loss of life in India echoed the shock and grief of 9/11 — every single day. And yet, through it all, your compassion crossed oceans, proving that when we stand together, hope always finds a way forward.

Where We Go From Here

Though the worst wave has passed, we continue to stand by families impacted by COVID-19. We remain ready with oxygen support, telemedicine, and treatment networks if new surges arise.

Treatment Centers: We set up COVID-19 care units in three cities, providing urgent help to families who couldn’t find hospital beds.
Oxygen for All: We shipped 60 oxygen concentrators each providing up to 5 to 10 liters of oxygen to patients struggling to breathe while hospitals were overwhelmed.
Emergency Relief: We supported families with essential care and supplies during strict lockdowns, helping them stay safe and fed.
