The Covid crisis has cost us millions of lives around the world. One after the other, countries had to face the devastating outcome of this virus. India at this hour is severely grappling to contain this deadly contagion.
The Indian community abroad has always looked at India with great respect and admiration. At this hour of crisis, we appeal to you - the international community - to stand by us and lend us your helping hand so that we can quickly overcome the horrific situation unfolding in front of us.
We already have initiated a crowdfunding campaign in India where we have gathered over 10,000 dollars. It is a big step towards our final target of 81,000 dollars.
As you might know, the situation is so desperate that people are forced to run from pillar to post in order to get basic medical facilities and still their requirements aren't met. This is why we are turning to you for help.
This is an unprecedented medical emergency and we are losing lives because of the unavailability of medical oxygen. The health system is collapsing and it is our duty as global citizens to save our own people across the border who needs your support.
More than 2 lakh people have died due to the virus in India alone. Hospitals have run out of both bed and oxygen. Before the situation turns more fragile, you can rescue us by your support.
We The People Foundation in association with Setu Centre for Social Knowledge and Action has launched this crowdfunding campaign to set up an Oxygen Plant and purchase around 15 oxygen Concentrators in Gujarat. We need 71,000 dollars and more to make this possible. Any additional amount will only be used to procure more Oxygen Concentrators.
As global citizens who love India or as Indian expats or just for humanity's sake we appeal you to donate and help us set up medical facilities required to save lives of people.
We need your help as soon as possible to save as many lives as we can!

Dear Donor,
We at SETU are extremely thankful to you for your contribution in the crowdfunding campaign during the COVID crisis in India.
As you are aware, the purpose of the crowd funding campaign was to make an oxygen plant and buy COVID related equipments as per the needs of the people in the rural constituencies of Gujarat. But due to legal difficulties, we could not withdraw the contribution of funds on time. However, the legal details are now fulfilled and our account has now been restored.
Despite the legal difficulties, we managed to set up an oxygen plant in the Primary Health Centre at Chappi in Banaskantha district of Gujarat.
Your donation is still safe with us and it remains unutilized. We wish to inform you that with this funds, we would like to purchase an Ambulance Vehicle for people in the region of Vadgam in Banaskantha district of Gujarat. This would enable us to move patients quickly from village to a big hospital in nearby cities for their treatment. This can help prevent the loss of lives.
In case, you have any objection with regards to our plans, please write to us in the next 3 days of receiving this e-mail. If no objection are received in this stipulated time period of three days, we would consider this as in-principal approval by the donor and move ahead with our plan to buy an ambulance Vehicle.
We once again thank you for your support!
6 lives have changed as a result of donors' support.
