HelpwithCovid.com

HelpwithCovid.com (HWC) has now matched thousands of volunteers with projects focused on providing COIVD relief. I personally have placed hundreds of volunteers on projects through the site. The projects range from building PPE, to providing food to frontline workers to initiatives as simple as sending supportive messages to families affected by COVID. Right now, HWC is a major hub for any civilians who want to get into the fight.

To help share the story of how HWC came into being, I decided to record a conversation with the founder Radu Spineau. I have worked with Radu closely over the last few months, and I am excited to help share his story.

Om Podcasten

Out of the Crisis, a podcast hosted by myself, Eric Ries, highlights leaders from all sectors who are providing and coordinating relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic. No one is more heroic than the healthcare workers and those on the frontlines treating the sick. But there’s also a role for others, particularly those in positions of privilege, to play in this crisis. As I’ve worked to make my own contributions, I’ve crossed paths with many different people and organizations offering their skills, expertise, and resources to get aid to essential workers and the sick. I created this podcast to share these inspiring stories in real-time, but also as a call to action. If you think you can help, do. If you want to help but don’t know how, the people in these episodes will guide you towards ways to get started. They’re helping to lead us through and eventually out of the crisis and offering tools for joining the effort.
