We are all in the same boat and we believe that now any, even small, help will contribute to the growth of optimism and will help people overcome this inconvenient time. We understand that our efforts may not be the most significant in overcoming epidemy of COVID-19 by humanity, but everyone can do something in their place and together we will be stronger.

We urge companies to provide special (commonly free of charge) conditions for healthcare and governmental organizations, businesses and individual users at their discretion.

Perhaps your product is now urgently needed and this will help the victims, reduce the likelihood of new infections, help the critical industries and businesses for functioning stably, just calm someone’s nerves and smooth out the monstrous tension that millions of people are in now.
