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

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
PS. This might be your first
donation to our movement ever. But what a first
donation! Did you know that Avaaz relies
entirely on small donations from members like
you? That's why we're fully independent, nimble
and effective. Join the over 1 million people
who've donated to make Avaaz a real force for
good in the world.
