| Dear friends, | | It's like an endless line of death.
People are being ferried on stretchers from hospital to hospital, gasping for air, only to be turned away. In Delhi, the situation is so bad that a temple is now providing breathing sessions on shared oxygen tanks, for those critically ill.
India is buckling under the worst Covid surge in the world.
With over 350,000 cases recorded a day and death stalking every corner, patients and families are racing against time, pleading for oxygen and medication outside overcrowded hospitals. Too often, they end up in mourning.
Brave doctors, aid workers and local groups are doing all they can to fight this deadly virus -- but they're extremely stretched, and need urgent help with life-saving supplies!
We can help, right now.
Millions of us are getting this email, and if we chip in just a bit, we could make a huge difference in a matter of hours. 100% of the funds we raise will go to those doing heroic work, paying for safety kits, medicine, food and health supplies for the most vulnerable.
Chip in what you can now -- together, let's join this epic global effort to help save lives in India: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From overwhelmed ICU units and hospital corridors, to crematoriums filled to the brim, healthcare and sanitary workers have been left to fight an impossible battle. Now they're sending impassioned video pleas for oxygen and other supplies, desperate to keep patients alive. A year into this devastating pandemic, we know that it's often the most vulnerable who are hit the hardest. That's why our movement has raised millions for trusted relief groups working on the frontlines, delivering medical assistance and supplies to those who need it most. If we raise enough, we could help: - Provide safety kits and other protective equipment to vulnerable communities and sanitation workers;
- Set up medical tents with intensive care units, funding doctors and nurses to help save lives;
- Fund critical work responsive to the fast-changing situation on the ground, including coordination of care, and;
- Offer direct cash transfers to vulnerable groups to meet their immediate food and health needs.
Lives are on the line, and we can help to make a real difference, right now. Every single penny we raise can help save lives. Chip in now: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | It's hard to imagine a response for a tragedy of this scale -- and yet, it's in times like this when it's most needed. Since the beginning of this pandemic, our movement has shown up in powerful ways to protect the most vulnerable in this crisis. Together, we've covered the cost of millions of meals and thousands of kits in medical supplies for people, stretching from Pakistan to Bolivia, and from DRC to Brazil. We've supported indigenous groups in the Amazon and the Maasai in Kenya just as Covid began to wreak havoc in their communities. So let's come together again, this time to help save lives in India.
In solidarity and deep gratitude,
Marigona, Martyna, Meetali, Patricia, Mike, Christoph, Huiting, Aloys, Mouhamad and the entire team at Avaaz
