I can’t breathe. We heard those words from George Floyd and our world was shaken.
Today we hear those words again in Nepal And we should be shaken as well. Thousands upon thousands of people in Nepal are struggling to breathe as COVID-19 devastates their respiratory systems.
And, as in India, there is not nearly enough oxygen and so family members watch in desperation as loved ones slowly suffocate. The oxygen cylinder is empty. There are no refills.
That’s grim as can be but that’s the reality we are facing. We are working with several partners to bring in oxygen concentrators and high flow nasal cannulas as we did before.
We need your help urgently to do it though. It’s a race. We’re seeing 7500 new cases a day — a rate as high as what we saw in the US at it’s worst (adjusting for population) and starting to reach levels as high as what we’re seeing in India.
There are well over 50,000 active cases and it’s getting worse. “I can’t breathe” is not an acceptable refrain. We will do all we can and we ask your help. Please. Act today. Help us raise $50,000. Help people to breath. Help us to Engage Nepal!
