When mother nature strikes us, we have to unite together and help each other.
This is a call for a plea to help the people affected in the recent floods happening in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu. Chennai witnessed a massive help from the youth of the nation and now normal life has almost begun for many people. But Cuddalore has not been so lucky.
My friends & I visited a small village on the outskirts of the Cuddalore, some 40 kms away from the city, which required our help.
The people from these localities are mainly from farming background, and their lands have been ravaged by the water from the floods.
They lack the basic necessities needed to survive the day the day life after this devastation.
The people here literally do not have a place to even sleep without keeping themselves dry from the wet floors in the house.
Many lost their homes, and importantly they lost their family members too in the rain.
We visited over 7-8 villages through out the day, and some were more fortunate than the other to have atleast a roof over their heads at night.
We asked the affected village members what would more useful for them to recover from this debacle and they had provided us with a list which I will share with you now.
- Stove
- Rice
- Sugar
- Any kind of food materials which would help them for a while
- Sanitary napkins
- A floor mat to sleep/ keep dry
- Bedsheet
- Cooking oil.
I request people to donate anything that is possible by them to the people in this district. The following is the contact numbers of the people responsible for the rehab of their areas.
Kindly do your bid to help the helpless.
