The PennZone

BOSTON - PennZone -- We Are Strong is a new organization designed to help the world overcome the negative impact of the coronavirus and other social issues. Founder George Gergis, Operations Executive Ann Gergis, and Consultant Karla Castillo of 617 Web Marketing, recognized there was a need to help everyone. "There is a lot of upsetting news on television and online. I felt that people needed a safe place to learn how to overcome the negativity with positive stories and messages," says Gergis.

The magnitude of the coronavirus effect has impacted countries worldwide. For instance, Italy has experienced the worst as the death rate continues to rise. The coronavirus can be fatal which leads the world into a domino effect. As people lose loved ones due to the virus, others are left unemployed. These issues can lead to a rise in mental health issues, crime, economic uncertainty, and more.

"People become desperate during difficult times. I can not imagine the many who have lost loved ones to this virus. Additionally, it must be very difficult for those seeking financial assistance due to unemployment."
