COVID-19 has created not only a physical pandemic, but also a psychological pandemic. Teenagers around the world are separated from their friends and socially withdrawn, and parents around the world are dealing with not only the stressors on their health and work/economic struggles, but they are also struggling with balancing all this with finding a way to entertain their children, who are stuck at home all day due to COVID-19. Mental health is at an all time low, and stress is at an all time high.
We at QuaranTEEN wanted to do something to combat the stress, negativity and hopelessness that people around the world were feeling as a result of this pandemic, and that's how QuaranTEEN was born: a social and creative outlet for teenagers around the world and opportunity to make friends, express themselves, and get involved with a great cause, as well as a place for parents to find resources for childcare.
QuaranTEEN is a nonprofit with a mission: to raise money for Frontline Foods, a nonprofit fighting COVID-19 by supporting small businesses and feeding frontline workers. Frontline Foods uses donation money to source food from local restaurants and provide it to health-care workers in need. QuaranTEEN collects donations for this through their GoFundMe Campaign, donating all proceeds to Frontline Food's cause to help fight COVID-19. We are trying to reach our goal of $1,000 by the end of the summer: please help us reach our goal!! We strongly recommend eveyrone who has the means too or who has enjoyed using our website to consider donating to this amazing cause, QuaranTEEN is passionate about the fight against COVID-19 and with all your help, we can turn the tide against COVID-19 and come out stronger than ever.
