MIAMI, March 30, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — DJ Khaled and Nicole Tuck announce the partnership of their We The Best  Foundation with Direct Relief and simplehuman to aid in supplying additional supplies to healthcare workers on the front line in both New York and Miami local hospitals. 

The COVID-19 pandemic has created an urgent need for protective equipment for doctors, nurses, and other health professionals being called upon to maintain regular health services and also care for those who become seriously ill and face the risk of death from the effects of the virus.

Inspired by friend and Miami based designer Gelareh Mizrahi’s story, who’s brother is on the front lines in a Brooklyn Hospital, Khaled and Nicole joined in on her efforts and have been working with Direct Relief to give those most vulnerable the equipment they need. Their combined efforts provided over 10,000 masks, gloves, and dozens of PPE kits for healthcare workers. 

«Helping our local community when and where we can has always been our mission since we started the We The Best Foundation back in 2018. By partnering with Direct Relief, Nicole and I are able to reach the medical staff who are most at risk in local hospitals in New York and Miami. It’s important to us to take care of those who take care of us., said DJ Khaled. 

Direct Relief has rapidly mobilized to get protective gear – N95 masks, surgical masks, isolation gowns, gloves, face shields, and sanitizers – into the hands of as many frontline health workers as possible, with emergency deliveries leaving daily for nonprofit community clinics and health centers that care for the nation’s most vulnerable populations.

«Direct Relief is so deeply grateful for this extraordinary act of personal generosity from DJ Khaled and Nicole Tuck to help keep health workers safe as they put themselves at risk to keep all of us safe,» said Thomas Tighe, Direct Relief President and CEO. «This support translates into immediate, practical help, and is such a wonderful example of everyone pulling together and doing whatever we can to protect those who are most vulnerable.» 

With the help of DJ Khaled, the California-based company, simplehuman, will supply thousands of hands-free soap dispensers to communities starting in their hometown of Los Angeles and expanding across the nation. This initiative, which starts on April 1st, is putting the power in the hands of the people, inviting them to nominate organizations in their own communities to receive complimentary hands-free soap dispensers and sanitizer, which are coated in germ-blocking nano-silver technology. 

The We The Best Foundation is a 501c3 organization dedicated to enriching the lives of the next generation – from childhood to adulthood. Through supporting non-profit organizations and individuals in underserved communities, We The Best is committed to efforts that aid individuals in becoming the best version of themselves and making their dreams come true.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Expands Coronavirus-related Relief Actions; 1 Million Meals for School Children Included in New Programs

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan, March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As previously communicated to the company’s employees from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Mike Manley, the company is in the process of converting its first plant to produce

AUBURN HILLS, Michigan, March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — As previously communicated to the company’s employees from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) CEO Mike Manley, the company is in the process of converting its first plant to produce face masks for donation to first responders and health care workers. The first machinery has been delivered and installed with supply and donation coming on stream in the coming weeks.

FCA logo

FCA is expanding its program of measures to support coronavirus relief efforts, focused on two principal areas: charities providing food services to children and support for a range of technical, logistical and manufacturing programs, such as face mask production.

«There has never been a more important moment to help children and their families with vital needs in our communities than during this time of great uncertainty,» said FCA CEO Mike Manley

Food programs for children in our communities
FCA will work in partnership with non-profit organizations and foundations that are providing food to children until schools return to session. Starting immediately, FCA will help provide more than 1 million meals to school-age children in the communities around our principal manufacturing plants in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. The program will then be extended nationwide in the U.S. and to Canada and Mexico, supporting similar relief efforts for kids who would normally access school meal services.

Mobilizing company resources
Following the first actions taken to start face mask production, the company is now investing technical, logistical and manufacturing resources at medical equipment and personal protective equipment (PPE). With the donation of face masks produced by the company starting in the coming weeks, the company will invest to extend that production capacity to other plants and ultimately donate masks to first responders and health care workers across the world. Drawing on experience from the company’s engineering and logistics team in Italy who are assisting a local ventilator manufacturer, FCA is engaged with other companies producing ventilators and other much needed medical equipment and PPE.

«In this time of need, we’ve focused our resources on those actions we can implement quickly and that will have the greatest impact, as we did in Italy as soon as the emergency started,» added Manley.

Gonzalo O. García’s New Book La Verdadera Poesía Intimista, A Stirring Compilation Of Poems Inspired By The Author’s Kaleidoscopic Life That Birthed Virtues And Insights

MIAMI, March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book La Verdadera Poesía Intimista was created by Gonzalo O. García. García is an author who hails from Havana, Cuba, and now resides in Miami, Florida. He won first prize in poetry at the Institute of Peruvian Culture.

MIAMI, March 27, 2020 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The book La Verdadera Poesía Intimista was created by Gonzalo O. García. García is an author who hails from Havana, Cuba, and now resides in Miami, Florida. He won first prize in poetry at the Institute of Peruvian Culture.

Gonzalo O. García said this about his book: «The book fundamentally deals with the poet’s inner vision in an environment that sometimes—and perhaps it is—suggests being ambiguous or almost of two different personalities (one would say ‘extreme’). This duality will undoubtedly be striking for selective readers who will be able to draw their conclusions and recreate themselves in the underworld of the author’s soul and perhaps be a little reflected or reflected in the contrasting verses of the work.

In addition, the book offers seventy-two poems, a small treatise on psychology and, in certain cases, on the philosophy of life of the author who frequently questions himself on the old theme of death, passion, and real and imaginary distance of lost love. In the book, two names of women are in the substrate of the themes in the middle of the conflict that most of the poems display. The poems are dedicated to both. Finally, there is a touch of condemnation or criticism of the two environmental circumstances—two totally different countries in which the poet has to live.

The possible references to pigeon fancy—breeding of carrier pigeons for competitions or contests of various distances—as well as Saturday belong to personal events in the author’s life.»

Published by Page Publishing, Gonzalo O. García’s new book La Verdadera Poesía Intimista is an enrapturing reflection of a life blessed by fruitions of love and wisdom that culminated into vivid poems that exude with philosophical notions and an in-depth peering into the mind’s eye.

Consumers who wish to be enthralled with relatable and striking poesies can purchase La Verdadera Poesía Intimista in any bookstore, or online at Apple iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
