The rapper isn’t doing this alone. He’s partnering with Atlanta’s Emory Healthcare and the Honolulu-based Ohana One Foundation for the effort.
In a letter posted to the website of the Edward Charles Foundation, which is a fiscal sponsor of the Quavo Cares Foundation, Quavo asked fans to make a donation of $10 or more to the COVID-19 fund. Each $10 donation will provide four new N95 masks for nurses, doctors and other health care staff.
All funds raised will go toward purchasing PPE supplies for health care workers.
