At PAPER + TOAST we believe small gestures may bring a big impact to one’s life.
Let’s all do our best to lend a helping hand to those who are in need during MCO. We strongly believe in the value of community and together we can support each other in this trying time. Let’s spread the word around to our friends and family to contribute more!
These are the areas that seek support:
1. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
PPE is used by everyday healthcare personnel to protect themselves, patients and others while providing care. PPE shortages are being faced currently due to the Covid-19 pandemic. It is highly crucial for these personnel to obtain protection with PPE from potentially infectious patients and also during the handling of medications and materials.

2. Funds
Many NGOs and organizations are partnering with each other in raising funds to those who are facing extreme difficulties financially. Some have suffered job loss, pay cuts and even being laid off during this outbreak. Here’s how you can help:

4. Student
There are students who are unable to make their way back home and are struggling to obtain their basic needs such as daily essentials, hygiene products, food and drinks to sustain during the MCO. You can also do your part by helping them.
Also not to forget our little cute friends at the Zoo Negara, they need your attention as well. Zoo Negara Malaysia has partnered with Ticket2u to create a new way for people to donate, allowing donors to support ‘Adopt An Animal’ initiatives and Zoo Negara will be getting the financial support needed to take care of their animals family.
