I am raising funds to help the people of Chennai in this hour of need. They need all the help possible.
Why am I fundraising?
Chennai is in an extremely bad state at the moment due to the torrential rains. This is the highest rain recorded in over 100years. Many have lost their lives, many are stranded in places with nowhere to go. People all over are struggling due to lack of basic amenities such as food, shelter and medical aids.
Chennai doesn't just need your prayers, Chennai needs your help as well!!What do I plan to do with the funds?
I am in touch with few organizations and people at the ground level who are constantly reaching out to the needy and helping in whatever ways possible in this time of need.
The money raised will be used to provide food packets, medical aid and any other relief material for people affected by the floods.First and foremost, a heartfelt thank you to you all for lending your time and support towards our cause. We could not have reached so far without you :) :)
Second, I sincerely apologize for the delay in posting an update. I have been travelling over the past 2 weeks and was caught up with a family emergency as well.
Now, for the updates. As mentioned earlier, the initial funds went into immediate relief activity, such as providing food materials, blankets etc.
Once the rains came to a halt, we decided to try helping people get back to normal.
We got information about 3 villages (Thimmur, Aruthampati, and Vazhuthavur) near Thirukalungundram that were badly affected by the floods. So it was decided that a portion of the fund would go towards helping families in these villages.
We got materials for around 76 families. The list of itemsis as shown in the picture below.
In addition to these items, saris, rice (approx. 5kg perfamily), rice cooking vessels and water vessels were also provided to thesefamilies.
The relief work hasn't ended yet. There are many more familiesthat need help to get back together and we are trying to provide for as many aspossible.
Once again thank you for your generosity :) :) Pleasecontinue supporting us by sharing this post and spreading the word.
