These are difficult moments, we try to build strength, but unfortunately in situations like this solidarity among citizens or correct conduct respecting the rules is not enough. Our hospitals require serious, especially economic, help to be able to respond to all requests for help. So the big fashion houses, which are undergoing the Coronavirus crisis, have chosen to make substantial donations to finance the search for a vaccine. Here are all the houses involved
