Many thanks are in order for the various people who have been a part of this fundraising journey. Here is an attempt to express some of those thank you's.
My third and final donation has been made to the oxygen relief initiative organised by the Lung Care Foundation (LCF). NZD $568 has been contributed to this venture to support the acquisition of oxygen concentrators (10 LPM, 8+/- .5 PSL) by the BBMP and Bangalore-based charitable medical centres. Please let me know if you have any queries.
Thank you, once again, for supporting my fundraiser.
Thanks Arka, really appreciate the detail in your updates.
I have made my second donation to the Project O2 initiative today. The NZD $500 (~USD 365 / INR 26,151) contribution will go towards aiding secondary medical centres in Chitrakoot, Madhya Pradesh. This contribution is going towards the procurement of oxygen concentrators, safety goggles, N95 masks, oximeters for under-resourced hospitals. A screenshot from the donation has been attached below.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Today, I have made a donation to the first of the three oxygen relief initiatives I am supporting - the Hemkunt Foundation. A receipt for this transaction has been attached below. Your generous contributions to my fundraiser will allow this initiative to procure 51 price units towards the purchase of a 10 L, 7 PSI oxygen concentrator (an oxygen concentrator, according to their calculations, costs 120 price units or Rs.60,000 ~ NZD $1142).
Thank you for your continued support.
Thank you all for your thoughtful and generous contributions!
I have almost hit the 50 percent mark of my NZD $3000 fundraising target. I am still matching all contributions by 25% daily as I haven't hit my limit of NZD $500 yet. So, if you wish to make a donation, now is a good time as any!
The payout date of this fundraiser is 20 - 25 June (please to the image), which does not cater to the time-sensitive nature of this fundraising venture. In order to offset this issue, I will personally make a payout into the three oxygen relief initiatives I am supporting by 25 May, when the fundraiser ends, based on the total sum I have raised up till that date. I will include proof of these payments in my future updates.
If you have any queries, please reach out to me. You all are heroes.
Here is a selfie of me completing the Hawke's Bay Half Marathon with a poster of the names of people who donated to my fundraiser. You all made me run my best run. Thank you!

Here is a video of me running around Auckland practicing for the half marathon to come and meditating on the oxygen crisis in India.
In keeping with the complete migration from Facebook to Give a Little, the funding target has now been revised to the original $3000. Due to the changes in funding location, I have extended the deadline of this fundraiser to 25 May 2021. Please message me if you have any queries.
