HEALTHCARE WORKERS, NURSES IN PARTICULAR TIRELESSLY WORK 12-HOUR+ SHIFTS EVERY DAY.
Healthcare workers have been working continuously since the onset of the pandemic. The second wave of COVID-19 has put a massive strain on hospitals and consequently on NURSES. There is a sense of alarm regarding burnout among healthcare professionals across India. In order for the healthcare workers to do their job, they need to be mentally and physically able to.
THE SOLUTION
Give them a WELLNESS KIT to boost their immunity and strength.
Healthcare professionals are leading the fight against this pandemic in every possible way by leaving their families at home. It is critical that we, as citizens, should ensure that the ones who are saving us, are safe in the first place.
We, at the Rotary Club of Bombay Bayview have taken it upon ourselves to support these nurses in every way possible. We aim to raise INR 45L to provide 5000 Wellness kits which will help fight their fatigue and give them the much-needed nutrition that they have been foregoing. This will impact 5000 nurses. The kit contains a hot flask and assorted dry fruits. The flask can be used to carry warm water or immunity drinks, to sip on and keep the germs away. The dry fruits are loaded with vitamins and proteins and will help in boosting energy and immunity.
IT COSTS JUST INR 900 TO PROVIDE ONE NURSE WITH A WELLNESS KIT.
So for instance:
a) INR 4500 will support 5 nurses.
b) INR 9000 will support 10 nurses.
c) INR 13500 will support 15 nurses.
d) INR 45000 will support 50 nurses.
Help us raise enough funds to impact 5000 nurses.
All funding has 80G tax benefits. CSR funding is also eligible.
THE WELLNESS KIT :
EACH KIT COSTS INR 900 including the cost of contents, distribution and crowdfunding costs. All funding has 80G tax benefits. So please fund generously.
APPEAL LETTER : We are planning to do this across multiple hospitals. All of them will give us appeal letters like the one below.

FAQs
Will we get to know the details of who benefitted?
Yes. After the money has been collected it will be transferred by Fueladream to Rotary Club of Bombay Bayview Charitable Trust. It will take from 7-10 days after that to start getting details of fund use. Once I get this information from them I shall upload this to the UPDATES section of this campaign. You will then get an alert & can read details about the beneficiaries.
When do I get the receipts?
The receipts will start getting processed about 4 to 6 weeks AFTER the campaign is closed and will be sent to you directly.
How does crowdfunding work?
Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly. It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
