Donatella Versace and her daughter Allegra Versace Beck have donated €200,000 ($222,315) to Milan’s San Raffaele hospital to aid in the fight against coronavirus.
“In times like this, it is important to be united and support however we can to help all those who are in the front lines, fighting every day to save hundreds of lives,” the fashion designer, 67, wrote on Instagram Friday.
Italy currently has more COVID-19 cases than any other country but China, with its hospitals and health care workers overwhelmed with patients. The entire nation is currently on lockdown in an attempt to slow the spread of the virus.
“Our hearts go out to all those who have been affected by this disease and to all the doctors and medical staff who have been working heroically non-stop in the past weeks in the effort to take care of our loved ones,” Versace, who along with her daughter chose to donate to San Raffaele’s intensive care unit, continued in her post.
“This is when we, as a society, need to stand together and care for one another.”
