Is this fund being run through any organization or by any Rabbanim? The donation page doesn't have much information...
Is it a bigger mitzvah to give a smaller amount to each family, or to give a large amount to one family.
Give what you can.
Sorry you didn’t answer the question.
Yes. I personally spoke with those running the campaign and I am sponsoring some ads. It is being run by the group that RL regularly sets up kerens for these cases. Feel free to reach out to me by PM if you have any questions.
Sorry, I gave the non-Jewish answer.
Thank you. Donated!
nope. lets say he's giving what he can, $500 for example. does he give it to one person or split it up?
Doesn't matter. Personal preference.

In the past 48 hours since we started, we created an organization with branding and have already raised 10's of thousands of dollars using dozens of professionals volunteering their time and obtaining supplies sold at cost or donated. I haven't slept much since then, but I'm extremely impressed how it is all coming together from people all over...Mi Keamcha yisroel!https://charidy.com/supplies4lives/63300P.s. It's definitely more fulfilling to help those who are helping us than to spend time reading charts and predicting how this doomsday scenario will play out.

I don’t understand this. Firstly, is it a supply shortage or money shortage? I thought supply, so provide supplier info to those who need. Secondly, why aren’t the medical organizations that actually need the supplies asking for help directly. (Instead, they have to read this ad to know who to contact to obtain supplies?) It seems like a competition.. medical organizations and these new “supply organizations” fighting to buy the same supplies. Not saying anyone is bad or that the supplies aren’t ending up in the right people, but just curious about the need for this middleman.
If you would be involved with amy organizations, like any of the Hatzolah’s, you would have a different perspective. The reality is that the Hatzolah organizations are running through PPE rapidly. They are busy coordinating manpower coverage of ALS, BLS, Dispatch, keeping up to date on which hospitals are on divert, which are still receiving etc. They don’t have time to be calling suppliers to find availability of supplies, they don’t have funds to jump on any offer etc. It is overwhelming. This organization in my opinion is saving lives because it does the work that manynof the chesed organizations that have direct patient contact can’t be busy with at this time. It’s not always about the money. We need more people like these to step up if we are going to get through this.
