UTTARAKHAND CRY FOR HELP On 17th June, 2013, one of the worst natural disasters hit the state of Uttarakhand as torrential rains resulted in flooding and landslides. Over 250,000 people have been reported displaced including 65000 children. The death toll has already crossed the 1,500 mark. Over 3,000 still missing.   Survivors have lost their valuables, food, clothes and in several cases, even their homes. 1100 roads and 94 bridges have been destroyed which are significantly hindering relief efforts. The drama enacted in real life was a mosaic consisting of unattended dead bodies, people looking for help with fear and hope, tales of survivors and heroism demonstrated by brave military and support personnel. Rescuers battled difficult terrain, damaged roads, bridges and unfriendly weather. Thanks to their actions, we have thousands of survivors in safe locations.     Share and care Foundation disbursed $20,000 for immediate relief through two local credible NGOs. SCF also plans to earmark $100,000 for long-term rehabilitation planning Share and Care Foundation is providing relief by sending food, medication, blankets, utensils, and other needs to Uttarakhand. Rehabilitation in this region is challenging and time consuming, due to the mountainous terrain and extent of destruction. While the government and relief agencies are doing their best, it will require a huge amount of long-term support and resources to help the affected communities rebuild their lives, an equally difficult challenge of rebuilding.      How you can make a difference Contribute Online by visiting  www.shareandcare.org or click on Donate above  Send your check in favor of Share and Care Foundation - Disaster fund Mail to: 676, Winters Avenue, Paramus, NJ 07652 Tax Exempt # 22-2458395   Spread the word among friends and families by forwarding this mail Posting on your Facebook wall: Visit www.shareandcare.org to support Uttarakhand Disaster    For all queries please call 201-262 7599 or Email: tparekh@shareandcare.org    Your help and support counts.
