Founded by two like-minded Samaritans, Kunj Gandhi and Farah Siddiqi, the group aims to provide support to those in self-isolation or quarantine. With the mandated hotel quarantine, which was three weeks at its longest, HK Quarantine Support Group has come as a lifesaver for many, sharing everything from the latest regulations and insights, to providing food, books, and other resources to those in need. And most importantly, Kunj and Farah have inspired other to pay it forward.

Unable to quarantine at their employers&#8217; homes, nor a bed in the overcrowded hospitals, these workers have been left to face the cold all by themselves. Bethune House, after receiving numerous urgent calls from these domestic workers, have started a <a href=\"https:\/\/donorbox.org\/urgent-emergency-appeal-to-support-hong-kong-s-migrant-domestic-workers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">fundraiser<\/a> to provide them with shelter, food, and emergency assistance. So far, the funds have helped hundreds of people, with $1,000 sponsoring each worker for a week. At the time writing, the appeal has already raised over $260,000 \u2013 just around $40,000 short of its goal.

Anyone in Hong Kong can sponsor these meals, and many have devoted money, time, and effort to its cause.
