COronaVIrus Disease 19, known as COVID-19, is putting a strain to National Health Systems all around the world and causing an unprecedented global crisis. Italy, my beloved birthplace, is struggling with the highest death toll: we simply do not have enough Intensive Care Unit beds and resources, especially in Lombardy, Piedmont and Veneto regions. We are progressively expanding our ICUs capacity, but as of today, many patients have to be moved to other regions or even other countries, such as Germany.
We have been the very first western country to be affected by the virus spreading, so we are weeks ahead of other countries in terms of contagions. If we do not act now, thousands of lives will be at risk in the upcoming weeks. Therefore, here's the new temporary policy:
I have decided to donate all the incoming funds from MyBBoost purchases collected from 1 March to 31 April 2020 to this GoFundMe campaign which devolves money to the Bergamo province, one of the critically affected areas. The campaign is listed on the official website of Papa Giovanni XXIII hospital in Bergamo, and it is therefore trustworthy. If you want, you can also make a donation yourself directly.
Every Saturday starting from 28 March I will post a screenshot of both the weekly MyBBoost income and the subsequent donation invoice (in italian, hope you understand). The weekly amount is rounded up to the nearest whole number.

A huge "thank you" to all of you who purchased something in the last 2 months and helped Italy fight COVID-19, and particularly one of the most hit cities. A total of 544€ plus 100€ of my own have been donated to Bergamo's hospital. It isn't much, but it's the best me and you could do!
