It is an overwhelming situation since no matter where we look, there is fake news everywhere or scary opinions about how the future will be like.
Today we want to give you some inspiring news. Even in a crisis, there are still helpers and people willing to make the world a better place. That’s why we’ll show you a list of companies who are helping people affected by Covid-19.
