In a world grappling with the unprecedented challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, acts of kindness and generosity have shone through as beacons of hope. Today, we want to share an inspiring story of how the Giveback Foundation, led by its dedicated Program Director, Tia Bhatnagar, rallied the community to raise funds and donate two High Flow Nasal Cannula (HFNC) machines to Masina Hospital in Mumbai, India.

A Lifeline in the Fight Against COVID-19

The HFNC machines donated by the Giveback Foundation are no ordinary medical devices; they are Airvo 2 Integrated Humidified Flow Generators and Oxygen Delivery Systems. These machines have proven to be indispensable tools in the ongoing battle against COVID-19, particularly for patients whose respiratory distress doesn’t necessitate the use of ventilators.

AIRVO2 offers a wide array of interfaces, including nasal, tracheostomy, and mask options, making it highly versatile in addressing the specific needs of COVID-19 patients. This adaptability ensures that patients receive the right level of oxygen support, improving their chances of recovery.

The Power of Community

Giveback Foundation recognized the pressing need for these life-saving machines and embarked on a mission to raise funds for Masina Hospital. The foundation knew that every gesture, no matter how big or small, could make a difference in the lives of those battling COVID-19.

Under the leadership of Tia Bhatnagar, the Program Director at Giveback Foundation, a remarkable fundraising effort was launched. In just five days, an astounding INR 5 lakhs were collected. This accomplishment highlights the incredible power of community and the unwavering commitment to helping those in need.

Making a Tangible Impact

As of May 6, 2021, the Giveback Foundation, with the overwhelming support of compassionate donors, successfully donated two HFNC machines to Masina Hospital. These machines have been delivered to the hospital and are now in active use, providing crucial respiratory support to patients battling COVID-19.

The impact of this generous donation cannot be overstated. It brings hope and relief to the patients and medical staff at Masina Hospital, who are working tirelessly to combat the pandemic’s effects.

A Heartfelt Thank You

The journey of this initiative was made possible by the generosity and compassion of countless individuals. Giveback Foundation and Masina Hospital extend their deepest gratitude to all who contributed. Your support has turned a vision of hope into a tangible reality during these trying times.

This story serves as a testament to the incredible capacity for change that resides within communities when they come together for a common cause. In an era filled with uncertainty, it’s heartwarming to witness the power of unity and generosity, demonstrating that even in the face of adversity, humanity’s collective spirit shines brightly.

As we continue to navigate the challenges posed by the pandemic, let the Giveback Foundation’s remarkable journey inspire us all to give back and make a difference in the lives of those who need it most.
