Huma Qureshi, who has partnered with the global non-profit organisation Save The Children for Covid-19 relief, said that she reached out to her industry colleagues for support.

“For my fundraiser, I messaged a lot of people. I know that in our industry, there are a lot of people who do good things, but don’t announce it to the world. I messaged people that I am doing this and please support us. They did not reply to me. So I thought, ‘It is okay, maybe they have ignored.’ They have quietly gone and generously donated to the charity, and I found out only later. I messaged them saying, ‘I thought you were just ignoring me.’ They were like, ‘No, you are doing so good, we wanted to support you but we don’t want to come at the front of it, so we quietly made our contribution.’...
