During this pandemic, America has embarked upon one of the largest crowdfunding campaigns in online history.
These are difficult days in America. Most of us have never seen anything like this in our lifetimes. Coronavirus has afflicted over a million Americans, killing more than 56,000. All in just over a month. The economy teeters on the brink of devastation. Unemployment exceeds 20 million.
The funds are being used to help health care workers on the front lines, serve vulnerable communities and expedite research, as well as meeting many other urgent needs. This is one of the remarkable things about our great nation. In extreme scarcity, Americans have chosen extreme generosity. Charidy has facilitated many crowdfunding campaigns for charities around the world, to the tune of over $500 million this past year alone. But we have never been faced by such a crisis before. And we have never seen such a unifying, heartfelt response.
