With this second wave, since the situation has become alarming, the KK foundation has helped people individually all over India with oxygen, medications, hospital beds, etc. KK Foundation has collaborated with numerous other foundations to help people, even from distant villages. The foundation recently received 1 lakh N-95 masks from IPS officer Sandeep Goel, which it aims to distribute in towns and other remote areas.
