World Community Services (WCS) of Federation of Jain Associations in North America (JAINA) has launched Hurricane Sandy Victim’s Relief Fund” to raise funds to help the victims of this disaster. Sandy came ashore late Monday, October 29th 2012 as a Category 1 storm with winds of 90 mph, hitting the New York/New Jersey area. The entire east coast from North Carolina to Main, has suffered a major blow.
Thousands of homes, schools, hospitals, public libraries and businesses have suffered significant damages due to the raging waters. Many Jain families reside in these areas, and due to the loss of electricity and phone signals many have not been able to return to their homes. This is a true national tragedy with losses estimated at above $25 billion.
JAINA (WCS) would like to help needy Jain families, if any, as well as schools, health clinics, or public library as soon as we can. Our relief efforts will be channeled through local Jain Centers in the New York/New Jersey area.
Previously, with your support, we have raised over $200,000 for Tsunami victims, $750,000 for the Gujarat Earthquake. Jains in North America have always shown our generosity all over the world, as steadfast believers of "Jiv Daya” and "Ahimsa. We recognize that many different organizations have started such funds and you may wonder why you should send your donations through JAINA. Here JAINA’s past record should help you decide:
- JAINA’s relief operation will be carried out with local Jain centers so that help will reach immediately, rather than getting mired in any type of red tape.
- JAINA does not charge any administrative cost to the relief fund. 100% of the donations will go towards relief effort. In fact, JAINA volunteers and partners will add their presence, experience and effort to the fund as it is delivered to the affected area.
- Funds collected by JAINA will be spent in a completely non‐violent manner keeping in mind the Jain way.
We request you to send your tax deductible (USA) contribution payable to JAINA, to the above address or donate online: www.jaina.org/donations. For further
information or suggestions, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Sushil Jain, President
