AN APPEAL FOR ZOROASTRIANS IN ECONOMIC DISTRESS DUE TO COVID PANDEMIC

Zarathushtis in India are continuing to suffer severely from the brunt and after effects of the Corona virus. WZO Trust, India has been extremely busy assisting affected individuals. By the end of September, they had provided assistance to over two thousand (2,295) recipients. This aid was provided as payments to Hospitals, to individuals in economic distress and in the form of distribution of food grains to the needy.

The recovery period is still very distant but WZO Trust is committed to continue their mission to provide the needed support to the affected individuals. Every day they receive requests from individuals who have been financially impacted due to the Pandemic – either medically, or by way of, loss of income due to loss of jobs, pay cuts in salaries, small businesses floundering due to adverse economic conditions, Mobeds losing out on income due to closure of places of worship, activities in rural areas being severely impacted due to closed poultry & dairy farms, brick kilns being not operational, farmers facing issues of lack of labor and inability to transport their produce to market. Not addressed so far is the need to equip about 125 poor Zoroastrian children with electronic note pads and Wi-Fi gadgets, because their parents do not have the capacity to provide them. Their education is totally disrupted due to schools and colleges offering remote learning.

They need our help. With your assistance, we can help our fellow community members in their hour of need.  We request your generous Donations to help them during this terrible pandemic situation. Please donate generously to WZO US Region to provide the much needed help.  Your donation will enable our fellow Zarathushtis mitigate and survive this disaster. Kindly make your donation checks payable to “WZO” with a reference to “Corona” and mail them to WZO US Region address. Pleasemake sure toprovide your mailing address, email and phone number to facilitate receipt for your kind donation.

Thank you very much for your Zoroastrian Spirit.

With kind regards,
