Funding Raising for Fight Against SARS
* Some donators just left their names, but amouts with no number are included in fund-raising.
Help!! Globally, SARS, or severe acute respiratory syndrome, has killed at least 461 people and sickened more than 6,300. In China, the poorly-funded and overtaxed medical system, particularly in Beijing, a city of 13 million people, has been struggling to cope with the epidemic, which is suspected to have originated in the southern Chinese province of Guangdong. Now the frightening virus has spread to western China, especially to rural areas, where most people have no basic health care and hospitals are seriously under-equipped. The Chinese government, together with many international organizations, is trying their best to fight against the deadly disease. However, additional funding is highly needed to support the battle in western China as government allocation is not enough. Today people all over the world are paying close attention to the serious problem as we are living in a highly integrated world community and the epidemic is threatening almost everyone directly or indirectly. The sooner China controls SARS, the earlier the whole world will be free from the threat of the mysterious virus. So we need your financial assistance to help China, especially western China to fight against the epidemic. We will transfer the donated money to Chinese Red Cross as soon as possible. One buck or two can make difference! Your donation will help the whole human race!
