#TogetherWeCan
Thank
you so much for your support to provide access to critical lifesaving assistance to vulnerable people across rural India. In the last month, at least 40 people
donated to Sehgal Foundation’s Together We Can: COVID-19 Prevention and
Resilience Campaign.
Your help means more than ever because we have so much
more to do. One
hundred percent of every donation is matched 1:1 by Suri and Edda Sehgal through
Sehgal Foundation in the US and will be used directly for the COVID-19 response
by the S M Sehgal Foundation team in India.
