Our Covid-19 Outreach

EDIBLE GOLD: A COVID-19 OUTREACH

We have thought about doing this outreach as soon as we saw the hunger driven riot in QC that has emerged in the news. Our eyes were opened to the sad reality that despite the government's efforts it is still not enough to support its people and get through the month of lock down.

It has been 3 weeks since we stopped from living our normal lives and forced to stay at home. And it is unfortunate that as much as we want to go back working to support our family, we just can’t. The new Covid-19 cases keeps on picking up in numbers the past few days. We can only start counting down our quarantine days once the number of cases cease to increase. Scientists say we need about 2-3 months to flatten the curve.

Other countries can support this kind of prolonged lock-down. But what about us? What's the worst thing that can happen?

Have you watched the movie "The Platform" that is the exact situation we are in right now. There's a possibility that riot which has recently happened will happen again due to hunger and desperation. Wouldn't it be terrifying?
So let's stop spewing hate. This is not the time for that but rather we must love, empathize, and understand one another.

With that said, we recognize the need of our community. We decide to run the Edible Gold Campaign. We know that jewelry is perhaps the last thing humanity needs in times like this. But with every item you RESERVE from Lily & Co, half of the 10% reservation fee this month will be raised to provide for those who are in need (equivalent to 20% of our proceeds). This is a leap of faith. We may not be able to raise millions but every peso will make a huge difference.

We would like to thank all of our valued customers for supporting Lily & Co. YOU are the reason why we thrive to be a better business. And lastly, to everyone who are working relentlessly and round the clock may it be our LGU's healthcare professional or volunteers. We are with you, we thank you for all that you do.
