COVER OF COMPASSION –

THIS WINTER DONATE BLANKETS

Dear Friends:

Season’s Greetings and good wishes!!!

We place before your goodself the need for blankets for the poor leprosy patients and those needy persons in leprosy colonies in northern parts of India and needy and elderly people living in hilly regions in India. 

The current situation

The winter has already set in some parts of northern region and hilly regions of India.  As the days go by, the climate will get colder and colder.  It will become very difficult for people, particular the those have-nots living in leprosy colonies and older people to bear the biting cold.  It is always better to offer them blankets before hand so that they are protected.

We are confident that this year too we will receive good response from our friends.  The more the support received by IDF, the more will be the beneficiaries and more will be blessings received by you and family.

Last year we could mobilise a good number of blankets for poor leprosy patients and underprivileged children under the care of IDF projects. We thank you for your kind support.

Our request

We have started receiving requests for blankets from different projects in northern India/ hilly regions in India.  It is the time to show your love and warmth to the have-nots in the society.  Let's do it now before it is too late.  We need atleast 3000 blankets for this winter.

We would request people to come forward and donate blankets or cash for blankets. Donations may be sent to Indian Development Foundation (L 10/ 3 & 4 Jal Ratan Deep, Bangur Nagar, Goregan (W), Mumbai  400 104 - idfindia@gmail.com).  We will send a complete report of distribution. Cost per blanket is quoted as Rs.250/= per blanket (including cost of despatch/ distribution). The donation amount may be sent by way of cheque/ DD in favour of Indian Development Foundation.  Donations to IDF are exempted under sec 80G of IT Act. 

Please give your love filled with warmth to the leprosy affected people and other underprivileged children. Looking forward to your kind and continued support and with regards,

Dr. Narayan Iyer

CEO, IDF - 9819131388
