India COVID-19 Relief Fund
Dear IAST Family,
As most of us are getting back to our normal lives in USA with light at the end of the tunnel from pandemic situation, we cannot stop and count our blessings enough. Hoping that we can say the same for our families and relatives in India.
India is battling the pandemic with the steeper second wave (well over 350,000 cases and ~4000 deaths a day). Most deaths are preventable and are caused by lack of medical grade oxygen. As always, our IAST family has been very generous in helping out the community at large, and once again we ask for your generous donations going towards the relief efforts in India.
You can exercise several avenues to as listed below:
You can send in your donations in any of the two routes:
P.O. Box 13002, Beaumont, TX 77726-3002
Donations are tax deductible. Please write to treasurer.IAST@gmail.com with the details for obtaining a receipt.
We will provide weekly updates through the end of the campaign on 5/31/2021.
Thank you very much for your support!
Regards,
IAST Board
