Subject: [perthbashi] LIITLE EFFORT FOR OUR ‘ BIG FAMILY ‘ ( Community in Western Australia )
Dear Fellow Community Members,
This is a difficult time we’re facing right now. Thinking about your health, the health of you children, and the health of your parents/grandparents in these uncertain times – it is scary.
Please, in this time, ask for help. We are a close knit community. We have shown that time and again. When people are sick, we bring them food, or help them around the house. When a member of the community needs assistance, we have come forward. When people in Bangladesh or wider Australian community needed us to stand tall and contribute in however shape or form, we did. And in this current crisis, that is what we should continue to do.
If you are self-isolated or immunocompromised, or live with people who are, ask for help. If you can’t go outside, we will get your groceries. If you need another roll of toilet paper, we will find one for you. If you are stressed and scared, we will be there with a shoulder to cry on (1.5m apart of course!). There are so many people who are here to help.
If you do need help or if you know someone who needs help due to COVID-19 Coronavirus crisis, please feel free to get in touch! Please do! We are just a call away. Please Call or Text us at 0475 844 762 (a dedicated community helpline contact number), send a message on our facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/baawaperth/ or email us at contact@baawa.org.au and the community will be there for you ( abiding by the legal parameters and social/ health restrictions) .
And if you are a volunteer, a health professional, a local business owner who is passionate about community service and want to participate and help the people in need, please give us a shout and contact us immediately. We need you, the community needs you.
We will update you from time to time .
Please , remain safe and remain blessed .
