Dear Supporters,

I have reached $4000 (over INR 275,000) in 15 days. This is spectacular! Your support has made this phenomenal.

In the spirit of transparency that I had promised, I am changing the goal amount and time for a few reasons that I want to share with you:

• I have managed to gather financial support from family members in the form of contributions and interest-free loans.
  
  
• Meeting the revised goal greatly reduces the burden of additional debt that I would have to take on. Additional debt gravely weakens my ability to work on the issues I've laid out in the campaign. Challenging status quo while being shackled to the financial system via debt can never be a strong and effective challenge.
  
  
• The revised goal looks more achievable. This is encouraging not only for the campaign organiser and contributors but also to future contributors in our networks who see the needle move significantly closer to the goal.
  
  
• The different payments I have to make can be done in installments. This gives me more time to reach more people and raise funds.
  
  

Thank you so much for being such generous souls. Please do continue supporting me by sharing this campaign with those you still haven't shared with.

Every bit matters and moves the needle closer to the goal.

The campaign has crossed $3000 (over INR 2 lac) in 8 days. My heart is full of gratitude for your generosity, trust, and encouragement. Your support is a privilege.

A very special shout out to all those who do not directly know me or who are complete strangers - Rachita, Debashis, Mrs. Santwana and Mrs. Madhumita and 8 anonymous contributors. I may not know you (well), but I do know you have big hearts and connect to my mission. Thank you so, so much.

I am working on other fronts and sources to raise these funds; I'm waiting for a few funding updates which might result in me setting a lower goal for this campaign :) My fingers are crossed! I shall keep you updated.

This is still an uphill task. I would deeply appreciate you sharing about me with other close friends, family or other privileged people who will seriously consider contributing to this campaign.

I wish for each of you all the very best.

Thanks to your contribution, I have crossed over $2000!

This means the world to me and also tells me that people care for me and my mission. I am so, so grateful to you.

There is still a long way to go, but this is a great start. Please help me continue this momentum by sharing with others who might be able to contribute too. I am giving my 100%.

Thank you once again.
