Alcohol, 500 goggles, 150 packs of medical paper. It also purchased 6000 N95 masks and 3,000 medical surgical masks from China, and donated the entire two carts to the hospital at one time.

The hospital's director, Antonio Jose Rodriguez Pereira, said that the supplies came in a timely manner and that they were the items they needed urgently and would be immediately distributed to the relevant departments. The hospital also repeatedly thanked these Chinese friends for their support to the first-line hospital in São Paulo.

According to people familiar with the situation, under the epidemic, volunteers rushed forward at the risk of "family storms" in order to raise this batch of supplies. He said that although his family was very supportive of donations, he was still deeply worried. Volunteers are under pressure to do charity in order to help Brazil fight the epidemic, want to protect front-line medical staff, and do their part to overcome difficulties.
