Patricia Paay collects 86K for zoo in five days | Entertainment

entertainment">Like many other companies, the zoo is also in dire straits due to the corona crisis. Because the zoo is closed to the public due to the current corona measures, no income is coming in. Although a quarter of the staff has already been dismissed and the municipality has stepped in with a loan of millions of euros to prevent bankruptcy, the director felt compelled to sound the alarm. This is to prevent animals from having to leave.

entertainment">In the meantime, 86,000 euros has already been collected. Patricia says about this on the social medium: “After 5 full days, we are currently announcing an interim score of 7334 donations that are good for 86,000 euros. What an amount! We just got a boost from John de Wolf and DJ Paul Elstak. Thank you very much for this. ”

entertainment">Patricia tries to prevent fate for the zoo with her donation campaign. She previously told De Telegraaf: “To prevent the animals from running out of food, we have created a special Tikkie link in collaboration with ABN Amro to which people can make a donation.”

entertainment">“The amount goes directly to Blijdorp via that route, so nothing gets stuck along the way. Every euro goes to the park that now needs it so badly. I like to guide people through my Instagram page (@patricia_paay). ”
