My name is Veda and I will turn 4 years old on June 2. My parents would very much like if, instead of giving me presents, you could donate towards providing for immediate care for children who have either lost their primary caregivers or those whose parents are ailing.
Thanks to the kindness of friends and family, we have already raised about INR70,000 in just two days for another cause (children's education), and now we are opening the fundraiser for COVID care for children who have lost their primary caregiver.
Please show your love to us, by contributing to this cause.
We request you to please identify yourself while donating.
While making donations, please mention the nationality based on the country that has issued your passport. OCI and PIO holders should not choose India as their nationality.
For any queries, please email: hello@whitefieldrising.org

There are hundreds of children who have lost their primary caretakers, one parent or both parents to COVID 19. There are also children whose parents are currently ailing and are not able to look after them, and children who live in orphanages and childcare centers, in need of immediate care .
The need to raise funds is immediate and urgent since over the past few days fifteen children are already under the care and protection of these homes. Requests for several more children have already been received.
This initiative is under the guidance and support from the Child Protection team (Child Welfare Committee) of the Government of Karnataka, to set up dedicated Quarantine and COVID Care Centers for children.
