PKUAAH has made deliveries of PPE to 23 hospitals

Through the “United We Stand” initiative, Beida Houston Alumni Association has worked timelessly to deliver PPE to frontline health care workers in the United States. Responding to surging requests from the health care facilities all over America, we move swiftly to smoothen logistics with streams of supplies overseas, making PPE procurement and distribution from China more efficient. As of this moment, PKUAAH has made deliveries of PPE to 23 hospitals, among which 19 are from Texas, 3 from hard-hit hospitals in NYC, and one from California.

With unprecedented surge in demand and supply, our committee faces the risk of running a budget deficit.  At this critical juncture, your generous charity will go a long way in helping frontline responders equipped with enough protective gear while they bring the light of hope to COVID-19 patients.
