Her latest relief effort is the creation of crowdfunding website called SHARE THE CARE (PPE for our FRONTLINERS).

Mika said that it took her weeks to set up the said page.

“I'm so grateful to all of them for accepting my offer and allowing this to happen! I LOVE YOU ALL SO MUCH.

“This is a fund-raising movement wherein you can help us provide PPE for our dear FRONTLINERS,” she added.

Mika also noted that accumulated funds will be used for the procurement of masks, face shields and personal protective suits (PPE).

“Our “CARE PIECES” include CARE MASKS / CARE SHIELDS / CARE SUITS that will all be donated to our chosen hospitals/medical centers here in Metro Manila,” she said.

She also asked the public for their help in raising the much-needed fund to help protect the medical practitioners.

“Our in-house team is capable of producing these pieces everyday. It would be great and much-appreciated if you can help us fulfill our mission by funding some of the said CARE PIECES!

“The more funds we raise, the more PPE's we can donate and the more medical practitioners we can help!

“During this time of crisis, let's all help and build each other up. This is the best time to show our real values, intentions and continue being our best selves for others at the comfort of our homes. Help us help them and let's all!! #SHARETHECARE,” said Mika.

DAY 1 • hindi ko maexplain yung nararamdaman ko ngayon :( nakakataba ng puso na kahit sa maliit na paraan naproteksyunan ko sila.. these are face shields po for protection (PPE) ng ating amazing and selfless frontliners na araw araw nakikipagsapalaran para saatin. i just wanted to give back to them in my own little way... salamat po sa sakripisyo ninyo! we appreciate each & every one of you. ingatan niyo din po ang inyong mga sarili ha? konting tiis nalang, matatapos din po ito.. SALAMAT PO SAINYO ❤️🙏🏻😢 sa lahat po ng gustong tumulong pero hindi alam kung papaano.. marami pong paraan :) pwede po kayong magdonate online sa mga official organizations para dito o kaya naman direct sa mga hospitals na. if monetary, wag kayong malula or matakot. any amount will help naman po. kahit 20pesos or 50pesos man yan may matutulungan ho kayo. pwede din po kayong mag DIY ng mga PPE or food packages para sa mga frontliners at sa mga nangangailangan. kung hindi naman po hot meals ang maipprepare kahit relief goods po ay makakatulong lalo na sa mga pamilya na walang wala talagang pambili kahit pagkain. kung talagang wala din pong maibibigay :) wag po magalala.. kahit simpleng pagsspread ng awareness.. kahit simpleng words of encouragement sa mga taong hindi maganda ang kalagayan at natatakot ngayon.. kahit konting pagintindi at pagaalala po po sa ating frontliners.. kahit maisama lang natin sila sa prayers natin araw araw... may nagagawa na po tayo 🤗 #loveinthetimeofcorona
