Many people who helped us in normal times are struggling today to pay bills. These include daily wage earners like rickshaw and taxi drivers, mall workers, maids, street vendors and others in the unorganized sector. CORO, a 30-year old NGO, works with these communities in Mumbai. We will distribute food packages, masks, sanitizers and soap to people who have been hit by the short-term closure of businesses. The amount needed is much larger and the Government will help eventually. But in the meanwhile. let's help some of these people today.

Thanks so much to all of you who have donated to this cause ... I will reach out to all you non-anonymous donors who I know to personally thank you, but for the rest "Thanks so much".  Please spread the word so that more people can be helped.
