Friends of Samadhan Care Package Fundraiser

Friends of Samadhan 

We are currently holding a fundraiser to help purchase basic food and hygiene products to provide to Samadhan families.

Many people in India have not had work for 15 months now, and are struggling to buy the basics.

While families are receiving rice and wheat from the government, other basic items need to be purchased.

For $20 you can provide a family with a care pack which would consist of enough dal, sugar, tea, spices, toiletries (soap), detergents, sanitizer and facemasks to help supplement their wheat/rice supplies for an entire month.

We would love you to consider making a donation towards this initiative of providing families with a few extra basics to help get them through a very difficult time.

All donations are tax deductible as "Friends of Samadhan" is now a registered charity with the Australian Charities and Not-for-Profits Commission -  Registration with ACNC 

Your GoFund Me receipt email is sufficient documentation, and quoting ABN 6445717116.

For those of you who made a donation to our earlier Diwali fundraiser in October/November 2020, please note that you can claim your donation as a tax deduction as our charity registration was backdated to 1st July 2020 once it was finalised.

If you would prefer an official receipt, please feel free to contact us via Friends of Samadhan's Facebook page.

As always, thank you for your ongoing support.

Danielle and Tammie
