Wuhan deliveryman offers help to Shanghai
"Although I am not in Shanghai, I have the contacts and resource channels of many volunteers and caring enterprises. Maybe I can help," said Wang, who once again became a "ferryman" of lifelines and supplies.
On April 9, Wu, a Shanghai man who had supported Wuhan Jinyintan hospital during the Wuhan outbreak in 2020, told Wang through WeChat that his sister was 36-weeks pregnant with twins and lives in the Pudong New Area of Shanghai.
"There was only her and elders at home, and she was in urgent need of living materials and supplies for childbirth," said Wu.
Wang reported the situation to many local community volunteers and "errands groups" in Shanghai. He soon raised supplies of vegetables, ham, bread, rice, noodles and a few kilograms of meat (enough to eat for a week) and the volunteers sent them to the pregnant woman's home.
This solved the problem of food shortage, but it is difficult to prepare products such as a breast pump and abdominal band.
"These materials are easy to buy here in Wuhan. There are still a few weeks before the expected time of birth. If I have to, I will purchase them here and assign them to Shanghai through aid trucks," Wang said.
There are dozens of WeChat groups of volunteers in Wang's mobile phone, some divided by districts and regions while others by supply types, so as to more accurately and efficiently help people in need.
