Tiny glimmers of hope amidst COVID-19

Dear donors,

Greetings from Sukriti Social Foundation.

We hope you are fine and safe. Thank you for your continued support especially during the Pandemic. We greatly appreciate your concern.

COVID-19 crisis and the economic fallout robbed lives and livelihood. Many are desperate for food. But thanks to generous donors like, you, we met their most urgent need. You made it possible for families to buy their essentials from neighbourhood grocery shops. Thank you.

Your compassion and care are making sure no child goes to bed hungry. 

Saroja (name changed) never lets sorrow have the final word. She bravely met hurdles while taking care of her child with a disability. But when the pandemic hit, she faced brand new challenges, including hunger caused by COVID-19. With their income plummeted, they experienced hunger along with fear, anxiety and hopelessness. She couldn't bear to see her children go to bed in hunger. 

Thankfully, your gift showed up at the right time! and we distributed money to our beneficiaries to buy provisions. You gave families such as Saroja essential items such as rice, sugar, milk and oil.  Because of you, these families have new hope within them to provide for their families. Thank you for being with poor families. 

"Thank you, for this meaningful help," Saroja said. "My family and I are grateful." 

When your cup of generosity overflows, so many lives are touched. The provisions that you helped buy are feeding children and they are no longer hungry. Thank you.

Now that the country is opening up, we will begin our work with children with birth defects. Parents are still reluctant to visit hospitals. But we will motivate parents to seek medical help which is so crucial to identify such defects at an early stage. 

Thank you once again for your continued support. Please do forward this report to your family members and friends who may care to support.

With gratitude,

Sowmya
