Hospitals are struggling to treat individuals suffering from cancer and other diseases because Covid-19 has overburdened our medical system. But you can help by doing one simple thing. By wearing your mask. When you wear a mask, you protect not just yourself but others too. Your mask slows down the spread of the disease, frees up medical resources and allows those suffering from cancer to get the treatment they need. Wear your mask - you could be saving a life. @wearekaro works tirelessly to provide financial support, holistic care and accommodation to lesser privileged individuals suffering from cancer. Want to spread some light and love this Diwali? Donate via the link in their bio. To join the movement, take a photo of yourself wearing a mask, with the text ‘I wore a mask today so..’ Visit @wearekaro and pick any photo of a braveheart to complete your sentence. Post your image along with the image of the braveheart. I choose @amuaroraofficial and @khemster2 to help spread awareness and join the KARO movement. #KAROforthelittlethings

Malaika further elaborated and said that when people wear a mask, they protect not just themselves but others too. Explaining the importance of a mask, the actress shared that it slows down the spread of the disease, frees up medical resources, and allows those suffering from cancer to get the treatment they need. “Wear your mask - you could be saving a life.” Towards the end of the note, Malaika wrote about the organization Karo that is working tirelessly to provide financial support, holistic care, and accommodation to lesser privileged individuals suffering from cancer.
