Good Samaritans from across then city volunteered to donate for the noble cause and thus instead of donating 100 face shields, the MNDCF managed to gather donation to purchase 200 units of face shields gear.
Within a span of three days, the MNDCF and its team managed to donate nearly 250 face shields units to help the healthcare professionals of the hospital be safe and fight COVID-19. While speaking to mid-day, Karnani said, "I went to the hospital personally to deliver the face shields but I didn't enter the premises. I waited opposite the hospital and contacted Dr. Sanjay Patil, who sent a ward boy to collect the face shield box."
