Medlife Crisis | COVID in India: What Went Wrong? [FUNDRAISER] @MedlifeCrisis | Uploaded 3 years ago | Updated 2 hours ago
India seemed to be doing so well, and now finds itself in utter chaos. Why? Please donate if you are able. These first 3 are suggestions, but more are linked below. They are all doing important, valuable work so I wouldn’t agonise over which you choose. GiveIndia’s payment system is well set up for international donors. YouTube's integrated fundraising feature only works with US charities.
