‘Every time there’s a disaster I really hear from my social media followers,’ she said last week. ‘They’re all over the world, and they let me know what’s going on quicker than the news for me sometimes. 

‘I get over a thousand messages a day with people from all over the country — every hospital, every clinic, everyone in a panic and with no supplies,’ she said of the problem.

Frankel went on to share how she was pinpointing those in most need with a ‘grid system’ as she works with five different suppliers to get out the goods.
