Dear Friends,<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second wave of COVID-19 is causing poverty, distress and death in India.<\/strong> Very sadly we have lost several members of the Order to coronavirus in recent days. Currently 15 Order members are unwell to the point of needing medicines and \/ or oxygen. With public health supplies running low, these things need to be paid for privately. We want to send \u00a3150 to each of these Order members to give them this ability.<\/p>\n

The Abhayaratna Trust grant team in India have let us know too that 51 Order brothers and sisters are currently unable to work due to pandemic restrictions<\/strong>. They need modest funds to buy food and pay basic household bills for a couple of months. We want to send \u00a360 to each of them. We did this last year and it worked really well to relieve immediate hardship.<\/p>\n

So we are appealing today for your help.<\/strong> Can you give \u00a3150 or \u00a360, or the equivalent in your country\u2019s currency, so that we can quickly pass on your gift to these specific 66 Order members?<\/p>\n

Please donate now to the emergency appeal (UK)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Please donate now to the emergency appeal (international)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If you can do this today, or help with any amount of your choosing, please give now. And please share this appeal with your friends if you think they could help too. Thank you very much.<\/p>\n

With metta<\/p>\n

Mahasraddha, Taradakini, Jinavamsa & Utpalavajri<\/em>
The Abhayaratna Trust Team<\/strong><\/p>\n

P.S. Donations can also be securely made via our website<\/a>. <\/strong><\/p>\n

You can also donate by sending a UK cheque payable to The Abhayaratna Trust, to Flat 0\/3, 37 Amisfield Street, Glasgow, G20 8LB.<\/p>\n

Make a regular gift and we can ensure this work continues in the months and years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you from the Triratna community around the world!<\/p>\n

May you be well!<\/strong><\/p>\n
