India is battling a devastating second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic which has affected the rich and the poor alike. Hospitals across the country are turning away patients after running out of medical oxygen and beds.
People are dying while waiting to see doctors as the second wave of the coronavirus rapidly evolves into a devastating crisis.
WHO WE ARE?
**Radhika, 14, and Krishnapriya, 10 - We live in Toowoomba (QLD). Encouraged by our loving mum, Divya and dad, Sid Bhardwaj, we followed our passion of feeding the needy and poured in our hearts to cook more than 10000 during 2019 bushfire and when COVID struck our community in early 2020. The community responded graciously to our efforts and we were the recipients of Toowoomba District Young Citizens of the Year award (youngest in the history of Australia) on Australia Day 2021 and at present one of the nominees for an The Medal of the Order of Australia (would be youngest in the Australian history, if successful).
**Nitin Pullat - Engineer working for a government regulatory body. Living in Melbourne and married to **Anu Nair - Anti Money Laundering Officer working for the BIG 4 banks in Australia. Mother of two loving kids :)
We have always responded to emergencies both here in Australia and in India, their motherland, including organising a positive campaign 2.5 years ago for providing disaster relief for the Kerala floods (https://www.mycause.com.au/page/183582).
WHAT WE DO?
We are launching this fundraising to assist those in need over there in India.
The funds raised here will be used to: • oxygen concentrators, • procure oxygen cylinders, and flow meters, • additional healthcare supplies and • nutritious meals to the needy
Each 10L capacity oxygen concentrator costs around $ 1000 and 5L costing around $500 which can be used only by one person at a time.
We are requesting you all to kindly sponsor a 5L or 10 L from your family to the needy.
YOUR DONATIONS/ EQUIPMENT WILL GO ONLY TO VERIFIED SMALL GROUPS OR CHARITIES WHO ARE RUNNING COVID-19 CRISIS RELIEF PROGRAMS RIGHT NOW.
Thank you. Love and Peace Radhika & Krishnapriya, Nitin & Anu.
Thanks Nitin for setting this up to provide help and support.
