Dear Supporter,
Reports from the Red Cross in Nepal and our contacts on the ground have expressed the need of urgent medical aid to be delivered to Nepal. UNITED SIKHS wants to help with supply of medicines and 25,000 urgently-needed blood collection bags (bags that will be used to store blood for individuals in need of blood transfusions), and we need your help to do this. We humbly request you to donate whatever you can to help provide the funds necessary to supply urgent medical care to those in need in Nepal.

Why is medical aid urgently needed?
The current situation prevailing in Nepal has caused one of the most dire fuel-shortages the country has ever seen. Medicine and other supplies are also in dangerously low supply. As we see too often, political strife has endangered the lives and well-being of innocent civilians. Life saving medicines such as Injection Adrenaline, Injection Succinylcholine, Injection Nor-adrenaline , Atropine , Anesthesia, and Injection Dopamine are already out of stock in most of the major retailers. Nepal doesn’t manufacture injection (IV) products (mostly also used in surgery and emergencies), except for one manufacturer with a limited band of the product. Hence the majority of such emergency drugs are rapidly becoming out of stock. Hospitals are also running very low on labor-inducing drugs, and some areas outside of the nation’s capital of Kathmandu have been forced to stop performing dialysis.
Earlier this year, we provided thousands with aid and assistance after the 7.8-magnitude earthquake that devastated Nepal in April. Once again, we have been called on by Nepal–this time with the specific request for medical aid. We cannot heed the call without your support please donate today.
Sincerely,
Jatinder Singh
