Donation protected
My home state of Kerala has witnessed the biggest rainfall since 1924, caused flooding and landslide. More than 370+ people have lost their lives in the state. Thousands of people have been put up in relief camps across Kerala, According to the government, 1,000,000+ has been displaced, 20,0000+ houses have been damaged or completely destroyed.

Some of the affected areas are very close to my home district and would like to run fundraiser to help fix homes to
those are financially challenged. I will try to fund as much as possible to local groups(Wayanad & nearby areas) fixing homes and hand over essentials to affected people.  Money left will go to the Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund (CMDRF).
