COVID India - Help them Breathe!
For those of you who are following India's devastating Covid surge and would like to help out:
India has surpassed 200,000 Covid deaths amid the recent surge: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-india-56864789
These numbers are startling and the news is scary! We are three students (Archita Khaire, Siddhant Shelar and Jayvik Joshi) who want to help. With the hospital systems overwhelmed and doctors facing a shortage of medical supplies, India needs donations towards medical equipment (oxygen, medicine, hospital beds) and essentials like food and shelter. The proceeds of this fundraiser would go to AidIndia . They also share the reports of all their work on the website. Once the funds are entered in their system, a receipt will be sent to the donor's registered email id, before the next year's tax filing. The funds will be used towards efforts in the categories below:
1. Medical Equipment and Essential Medicines
2. Food, Cash, and Livelihood Support to Distressed Families
To give a perspective: USD 500 helps to buy an oxygen concentrator and USD 200 supports around 20-30 people in a community with food and oximeters.
The situation on the ground is dire and time is of the essence, so we kindly request you to consider donating. Any contribution small or large is a huge help. Thank you!
Thank you all for your generous donations!!
