Dear donor,

Your generous contribution to our relief efforts is making a big difference. With your money, we bought 170 emergency relief packages, safely transported them to our communities, and delivered them to the families door-to-door.

We supported these families in each community (most families have 5-8 people per home):
- Ramapuram Giri Nagar: 23
- Ramapuram Gangai Amman Kovil: 33
- Urur Kuppam & Olcott Kuppam: 48
- Irular tribe, Vannandurai, & Kakkan colony: 57
- Other families we identified near our communities: 9

Total cost (incl. transportation) for 1 week's relief: Rs.118,263 (~$1,565 USD)

To keep you updated, we have put together a webpage with a comprehensive overview of our relief efforts:

We must continue our efforts week after week and potentially for more families in need. And that is why we need your help to pass on the word and involve more people in sharing their good fortunes with those less fortunate.

Attached below is the message to send along with a digital poster (both English and Tamil versions are attached) on behalf of Pudiyador.

Much love from Chennai,

Swapnaa
President of Pudiyador

Our families wanted to pass on their thanks to everyone who helped. Here are some of their messages:

“You are treating us like your own kin and giving us food to survive. We will never forget this. May you live well.”

“The baby is doing much better now, thanks for checking. Because of you, now we have enough food to last us for at least 10 days.”

“We’re able to take care of both our grandmothers now. We were so worried about them until now."

“A big thank you to all of you who are doing so much for us who have nothing. May good things happen to you always, always.”

Pudiyador families consist entirely of daily wage earners (street hawkers, rag pickers, domestic staff, fisherfolk) and they could use our help. The emergency grocery kits we provide (Rs. 700 or $9 USD) will feed a family of 4 for a week. We serve 200 families.

Any amount you can pitch in will make a big difference! Please act now.
