As per the Open Government Data Platform (OGD) an average of 781 people die due to cold in winter.

Winter is the tough season to face for homeless. Rainy and summer season if you get an open shelter with just a top will be sufficient to save our life.
But winter season the cold breeze and drop in temperatures will have severe impact and you definitely need an enclosed shelter or at least blanket to save the life.

We had started a blanket Drive in our native town (Godavarikhani, Telangana) with the help  of my  friends who had come forward to volunteer the drive .
We have pooled 15000 INR from our savings and bought  20 blanket which are good quality strong enough to protect from severe cold temperatures.
After the work hours everyday  all of our friends will gather and we rent a vehicle and drive around the town in slums and other areas to donate the blankets .
The other instruction we follow is  we dont just donate and leave but we made a rule to  talk to them with love and affection and find more details about them which will be a learning  to us and a kind sharing of their pain.
Sometimes if any homeless did not had eat food or donot have enough money for next day for food we tried to do some monetary help.
After we completed distribution of these 20 blankets we understood below points:

1) We saw there are many people who are still waiting for some help for blankets and we wish to extend the donation activity to all of them.
2) Few of them did not have food throughout the day and expected little food from us during the donation

3)Few  of them  are having some health issues like fever, broken limbs  and elders without a walker , it includes little children without proper food and hygiene.

Next steps we wish to do as part of this Donation:

1) Buy  more blankets and sweaters and donate to needy
2) Also want to arrange some food packets and distribute to homeless in nights
3) For few whom living in huts donate few kilos of rice and pulses
4) Buy some walking sticks and first aid kits for the people and kids who are not well.
5) Create some awareness by printing some pamphlets to distribute in day time
Which has our contact details to call us if they find below issues in neighborhood
                    a) Elders who need some help in food and shelter
                    b) Child physical abuse or child labor eradication by bringing                            it to  legal authority
                    c) Families who are suffering with health issue or any  small                            medical aid.


We need your kind support which can help a fellow being to live and we show little compassion towards them.
I request you to just  do minimum to  minimum donation possible to you but kindly do maximum sharing of this campaign to your family and friends in social media.Every share may save someone life .
The help no matter how small it is will give everyone a hope to the people around us that humanity exists and it  also brings joy of giving to supporters.
I truly believe GOD expects us to help the needy which will be the best form or prayers we can offer.
Together we can help  people and the good works will surely have an abundance of blessings to your family .
Once again just do the minimum donation which can be a drop in ocean but  it can become a  pearl in someones life.Thank you
