Rich Castaldo, founder of mycovidhelper.com stated: “Our nation and our great cities are facing an unprecedented and dangerous threat like we have never seen in our lifetime. I wanted to create a way for people to connect with others so they can help eachother out. The volunteerism and willingness of those to help has inspired me to get further involved. Our frontline responders, our elderly and most vulnerable, many of our neighbors and businesses need our help, and mycovidhelper.com gives them a way to get that help directly from the community and gives those looking to help a way to find those in need.” Stated Castaldo. “We’re all in this together, I want to do my part to help and win this battle.” The website URL is https://mycovidhelper.com and the site’s email is [e-mail].
