Bethenny Frankel
Bethenny Frankel is making a real effort in the fight against coronavirus.
This week, the former “Real Housewives of New York” star’s bstrong foundation will exceed $15 million in coronavirus aid distribution in over 15 states, Frankel tweeted Tuesday.
Bstrong “provides real time emergency assistance to individuals and their families in crisis," according to its site.
Next, the foundation “will exceed our goal of 100+ health care facilities,” the native New Yorker, 49, said. “Sadly, that is a drop in this bucket of tears.
We will exceed 15m in aid distribution in 15+ states this week & will exceed our goal of 100+ health care facilities this & sadly, that is a drop in this bucket of tears. Our goal is 100 million in aid distribution in the next few weeks. #bstrong

“Our goal is 100 million in aid distribution in the next few weeks," she added.
The foundation, which launched in 2017, has conducted missions to assist after natural disasters, like Hurricane Dorian in the Bahamas, the wildfires in Calif. and the Amazon Rainforest, as well as the Australian bushfires.
Now, the foundation and Global Empowerment Mission are creating and distributing #coronakits — replete with gloves, immune boosters, hydration kits, and hand sanitizer — to those without funds or access to such products.
Bstrong has ordered over 100,000 N-95 medical masks for hospitals across the country, many of which are falling short of the supplies needed to treat coronavirus patients. They’re working on ordering over 500,000 more masks and gowns.
At the time of publication, over 1.3 million coronavirus cases and over 76,000 deaths were confirmed worldwide, according to a running tally by Johns Hopkins University & Medicine’s Coronavirus Resource Center.
