We are very delighted to share the success of our initiative to provide free meals to the family members & people waiting in queues at crematoriums/cemeteries for the last rites of the bodies of their loved ones lost to COVID-19 during the second wave of the pandemic.
Our friend Shivam, who is leading the distribution shares his experience "It's really very heart touching to help people. My heart is crying to see people waiting in queues for the last rites of their loved ones which is increasing their pain even more. We are extremely grateful to those supporting us to help people in this tough time".
We are going to the crematorium & Hospitals with a hygienic full meal packaged in plates and distributing it to people waiting there.
We served 13000+ sanctified free meals and provided basic health amenities (mask, sanitizers) to 10000+ people in the past 3 months.
We are extremely grateful to the HOPE Welfare Trust for helping us with this initiative and making it a success.
We are very thankful to all our Donors, Volunteers, and Local Administration for supporting us all through. We hope & strive to make this effort reach more and more benificairies.
We would also like you to have look over our other initiatives in this time of COVID:
One last thing—sharing our project with your friends and family helps us spread the word about our work and continue to grow our community of supporters like you. If you’re willing to share the story of our work with your network, we’d be incredibly grateful.
Stay Safe and Healthy
Gratefully yours,
