The video began with Huma talking about the pain and agony faced by the people during the COVID-19 pandemic. “Just like you all, I am pained and horrified by this deadly second wave, and now is the time for us to support each other. I have partnered with Save The Children-a global Child rights organisation," she said. Continuing, further, she said, “As you all know our medical system is so overburdened and Delhi, our capital is in dire need of help. These last few weeks, I along with Save Th Children have been working on something very specific - a breath of life. We plan to set up a 100-bed covid facility in the city. This emergency medical facility will have experienced medical professionals, medication, and its own oxygen plant. For patients at home, we will give covid care kits and teleconsultation and much more. I and my family have donated but I will need your help. Every contribution saved a life and no donation is too small. So please, I urge you to help us to help each other.”
