2nd-Grader Gives 6K Masks, Caps To Hospital Staff: Coronavirus
Ashburn, VA PatchMar 27, 2020
A young boy named Zohaib Begg from Ashburn, Virginia, has taken the initiative to help healthcare workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. He collected over 6,000 items of personal protective equipment (PPE) from local hotels to donate to Inova Fairfax Hospital, where he received treatment in the past.
Zohaib's efforts were inspired by his family's connection to the hospital and the ongoing shortage of PPE for frontline workers. His mother, Isma Zubair, supported him in reaching out to hotels to gather the necessary supplies, which included gloves, masks, and shower caps.
This heartwarming story highlights the community spirit and the importance of supporting healthcare workers during challenging times. Zohaib's actions serve as a reminder of how individuals, regardless of age, can contribute positively to their communities in times of crisis.
