JIADING residents were quick to offer support after hearing about the recent earthquake in the city of Ya'an in Sichuan Province.
Shanghai Ito Industry Co in Shanghai Dazhong Creative Zone immediately arranged for emergency power generators and food to be sent to Ya'an. The donation arrived in the early morning two days after the quake, which killed 196 people, struck on April 20.
Xu Yongjuan, a resident of Jiaxin community in Jiading New Town, donated 100 yuan (US$16) to the neighborhood committee, despite her husband suffering from lymphoma and despite the family being in financial difficulties themselves.
When the family suffered its greatest difficulties, neighbors and local governments lent them a hand, Xu said.
"Without their help, our family wouldn't exist now. So I should do something for those people in Ya'an."
Wang Zhongfu from Dayu Village of Jiading New Town donated 2,000 yuan. "I should contribute to the charity as I was born in a poor family and understand their difficulties," Wang said.
On April 23, the Youth League Committee of Jiading Industrial and Commercial Administration Bureau called on members to donate for Ya'an.
Altogether 4,700 yuan was collected to buy blankets and hygiene products.
Over 200 students and teachers from the Jiading Campus of the Middle School Affiliated to Shanghai Jiao Tong University donated items for a charity sale and the proceeds were donated to help the quake victims.
Meanwhile, the Aurora Group donated 2 million yuan to the Shanghai Charity Foundation's Jiading branch.
Caihuang (Shanghai) Fine Chemical Co donated 200,000 yuan to Jiading Red Cross to support rescue and reconstruction work.
Fujitsu General (Shanghai) Co and ZF Shanghai Steering Systems Co each gave 50,000 yuan, also to the Jiading Red Cross.
Thames Medtech donated 100,000 yuan to Anting Red Cross, with 10 of the company's employees donating a total of 33,000 yuan.
