Covid Relief for India - Medication & Supplies
With over 300,000 new COVID-19 cases and thousands of deaths in India every day, the capacity of the healthcare system in India is deteriorating.
There are millions of people struggling to get access to the hospital due to overcapacity. Thousands are left stranded on the streets trying to find access to oxygen, injections, food, and medication supplies, which due to shortage are sold at expensive prices that not most of them can afford.
A lot of NGOs / individual groups have come together in helping fight this situation for India, and the purpose of this fund is to help raise money for oxygen tanks, injections, food, hospital beds, and donate it to the respective NGOs / individual groups who are working at the forefront to provide these supplies.
I request anyone who this fundraiser reaches to kindly donate and help India fight against this deadly second wave of coronavirus.
Any amount is appreciated!
We plan to distribute the funds to the following organizations that are working frontline to provide aid in these difficult times:
- Action Aid India - https://www.actionaidindia.org/SupportCOVID-hitFamilies/
- Feeding India - https://www.feedingindia.org/donate/help-save-my-india?review_id=oxygen
- Akshaya Patra - https://www.akshayapatra.org/covid-relief-services
- Goonj Org - https://goonj.org/support-covid-19-affected/
*We are constantly looking at the immediate needs and might change any organizations mentioned based on the most critical needs. We will keep you posted on any changes we make.
