The COVID-19 pandemic has swept across the world infecting over 2 million people and has resulted in over 160,000 deaths. It's dangerous for everyone. However the elderly are suffering the most, with 72.3% of the total deaths being people above the age of 60.
Being a healthy 19-year-old, I’ve been given an advantage and am less at risk of COVID-19. I want to use this advantage to help those who have been aren’t as lucky. Which is why I decided to create “Stairs Against COIVID-19”. This is an initiative that will allow me to use my youth to help the elderly. On this platform, you can donate directly to over 20 charities that are fighting COVID-19. For every dollar donated, I’ll walk one flight of stairs in Etihad Towers. If you donate 5 dollars, I’ll walk 5 flights, etc. I hope to use my youth and health in an effort to help those who are struggling. The circled building is where I will climb every day. This tower has 56 floors.
Click on one of the charities. After donating directly to the charity, send an image of the receipt to " stairsac.19@gmail.com ". The amount of your donation will be the number of flights of stairs I need to walk up. I'll be collecting them up until June 1st. Just to be clear, I won't be handling any of the money, it will go directly to the charity of your choice.
Want your name in the Donator Hall of Fame? Donate over 15 USD to get your name there!
