Resources for India’s COVID Crisis

We are heartbroken about the humanitarian crises occurring in India right now. South Asians in Canada are fighting two pandemics - one here in Canada and another in parallel in India, where many of us have close family and friends. We have been asked many times on how Canadians can help support India during this time. Here are a few resources and fundraising campaigns.
