Want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money to benefit Anatta World Health & Education Outreach, and any donation will help make an impact. Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that will save the lives of many people. 

Dear Global Friends and Family –
As many of you have been hearing in the news these past days, the COVID situation in India is at crisis level. Sadly, this is having a proportionately equal effect on Nepal, as they share a border, many families have members in both countries, and borders are near impossible to close down.

We have received word from our Lumbini family (just 7 miles from the border) that the current situation is extremely difficult. COVID numbers this week are 137% higher in Nepal than just last week, but healthcare facilities countrywide are stretched beyond capacity and are unable to take in new patients. Lifesaving medical equipment is unavailable.
Most critical is the desperate need for oxygen.

A 20 bed COVID treatment facility has been set up in Lumbini in conjunction with local municipality. The local team has been able to secure a contract with the ONLY two O2 manufacturers in the area. They will provide same day O2 cylinders in exchange for empty cylinders. Currently Lumbini has only 18 cylinders; this needs to increase to at least 50 to match the level of positive cases occurring. (Please note that the population of Lumbini province is 4.9 million!)

A full Oxygen Set Up includes: One 48-liter Oxygen Cylinder $170 One set O2 Regulator + mask $ 70 One Pulse Oximeter $ 25 TOTAL SET UP COST $265

With this set up they can refill the empty cylinder for $10

Anatta is reaching out to all our friends, family, and long-time supporters for any assistance you can offer at this time to raise funds for as many OXYGEN SET UPs as possible.
Please know the funds go directly to our team in Lumbini so that as many supplies as possible will be purchased directly with your donations. Our goal is to forward funds by Friday May 7th, and each week thereafter as we continue to raise funds.
We will be updating you regularly on the situation.

Thank you as always for your generous support, even as we navigate our own challenges here.
May you continue to stay safe and healthy.
The Anatta Board, Cornelia Deborah Susan Donna Natalie
