We Care Charity Fundraiser

Shefali Kalyani
10/18/2015

We Care Charity had our first fundraiser on last Saturday 10/10/15 in Westford, MA and raised $9500 after expenses. This sold out event over a week before the program date and was a hit with audience. People still showed up at the door wanting to support our grass root organization. We are still overwhelmed with the response and what people had to say to us. Most said that they came to support our work as they see what we do four days a week while holding full time jobs. They know 100% of their donation will go to our cause and the level of trust they have in us was very humbling. 

We Care Charity is a 501C(3) organization. We are an all-volunteer organization and we don’t get paid for our services. We have zero overhead cost so that means 100% of what you donate goes towards our cause. Our projects:

1. We purchase groceries cook and serve close to 700 folks here in NH each month. This includes 3 soup kitchens and 3 children’s homes. 
2. We celebrate children’s birthday parties and also sponsor all children’s Christmas wish list each year
3. In India, we support education for 50 children by providing grains to their families so they can attend school and not sell things on the streets. 
4. As of today, we have successfully shipped and distributed over 10,000 pounds of clothes and school supplies to India. 
5. We support 13 slum children who are exceptionally bright with a private school education. This is done by our partner Non Profit Organization in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. India.

Both Vinay and I would like to thank the following people. This was a family style event and people who jumped in and helpd were countless. We have unlimited people to thank but we will start and name a few. Please accept our sincere gratitude.

We are still mesmerized by the beautiful melodious voices of Suzana Naik and Ujjwal Parikh. So many people told me the collection of songs was absolutely superb and the flow was beautiful. We have no words to thank both the singers for this. Most straightforward, least intrusive they simply sing and leave footprints in our hearts. Now that's exceptional singing with character. Thank them again from the bottom of our hearts. Vinay and I would like to thank and acknowledge everyone who came to this fund raiser.
