Vivy Yusof Helped Raise RM100k Overnight For COVID-19 Patients And Frontliners

A few days ago, prior to the Movement Control Order coming into full effect, business mogul and influencer Vivy Yusof shared a photo of her donation of a few units of portable air conditioners to Hospital Serdang and said that a few more will be sent to other hospitals as well.

The photo received great feedback from her followers who sang praises for her efforts to help COVID-19 frontliners, patients, and hospital staff members, prompting Malaysians to express their interest in donating as well.

This that then led to the dUCk Group founder setting up a support fund with Dr. Musa Nordin and IMAM Response and Relief Team (IMARET) to help those who are affected by the Coronavirus pandemic.

After learning about the amazing things that hospital staff/volunteers are doing, @fadzaanuar and I felt the need to do something. I reached out to ask what equipments they need and decided to contribute some portable airconds for them, in the name of everyone at FV. These were delivered today to Hospital Serdang, and Insyaallah more to come. We are seeing how to contribute to other hospitals combatting covid19 too, lots of FV people are interested to help! We complain how hot it is outside after 2 minutes of being outside, can you imagine what they go through wearing the whole hospital suit covered from head to toe. Thank you for all that you do for society, so proud to be a part of a community that cares and loves for one another. ❤ (Thank you @syedzainalsmt for helping me reach out and Kak Noordini for liaising for me) #covid19

“As Covid-19 cases rise, hospitals wont be able to cope so we need to act fast to get our hospitals ready and make the patients, staff and volunteers' lives as comfortable as possible,” Vivy said in an Instagram post.

“They are the frontliners combatting COVID-19 for us and this is the least we can do for them and our country.”

Fans and celebrity friends thanked her for setting up the fund, and some were moved by her gesture to help those in need.
