Meet some of our OFW Coronavirus Emergency Fund recipients and see how your donations are helping them through this incredibly tough time.
“I can’t thank you guys enough for your help during this crisis. Without this initiative and your generosity, workers like myself would have been left to fend for themselves in those tough times. I hope you get to raise more money to help all of those in need. Solidarity is really important.”

“After losing my job at a restaurant as a server due to COVID 19, I lost all my forms of income and had to proceed to file for Ul! Signing up with One Fair Wage and talking to them about my troubles helped tremendously! I’m so thankful to you guys! Happy to know I got my check in the mail about a week later! Very helpful in these trying times. “

“To all my brothers and sisters in hospitality - One Fair Wage is here to help. I know most of us feel overlooked, ironic considering we make up more than half the work staff in NYC(and the country). Many of us are pursuing other passions but these jobs provide for a bigger picture - while we didn’t see this coming its here and there are ways to alleviate some stress. Help is here and we are seen.

"I plan to use this support mainly on groceries and to cover any other bills that come due while waiting for unemployment and government relief to be distributed. I'm spending minimally these days since we just don't know when that other relief will come."

“Thank you for the payment and relief. Because of this, I was able to purchase groceries that will last at least 2 weeks. Your contribution made such a difference in my life, and I’m sure to many others as well”

Thank you! Thank You! Thank you! I just received a check from One Fair Wage from the COVID-19 emergency fund. I just took a huge sigh of relief. It will at least help me pay a few bills during this hectic time. Thank you so much.”
