7400+ Lives Saved

7400+ Lives Saved

New research estimates that by sheltering in place, Santa Clara County residents have saved more than 7,400 lives in our area alone. By staying home, residents made collective sacrifice that prevented infections, hospitalizations and remarkable number of deaths. We encourage people to continue to follow social distancing guidance and health officer orders.

Information on the Amah Mutsun (Ohlone) Families COVID-19 Relief Fund

There is now a fundraiser set up to assist Amah Mutsun tribal members who are being impacted by the pandemic. Please consider sharing it, and making a donation if you are in a position to do so. Thank you!

Amah Mutsun Families COVID-19 Relief Fund

https://charity.gofundme.com/amah-mutsun-families-covid-19-relief

“This is a fundraiser to assist Amah Mutsun Tribal Band members during the COVID-19 crisis. Funds will be used for personal protective equipment (PPE), food, elder care, medical supplies and transportation, school-related supplies for distance learning, and rent assistance for those most in need. 

Because we are not a federally recognized tribe, we receive no medical, educational, social services or elder care assistance from the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Many of our approximately 800 tribal members live paycheck to paycheck and do not have health insurance.

Thank you for supporting our tribal members in this difficult time. We continue to pray for the families and people all over the world who are coping with the loss of loved ones and facing many forms of hardship during this pandemic.”
