BDRF Maha Kumbh Relief Campaign: Support for Devotees Separated from Their Families

BDRF Maha Kumbh Relief Campaign: Support for Devotees Separated from Their Families
“In times of disaster, compassion is our greatest strength. Together, we can turn adversity into hope and help rebuild lives.”
The Maha Kumbh is a grand spiritual gathering, drawing millions of devotees from across the country. However, in the overwhelming crowds, many pilgrims lose connection with their families, leaving them without warm clothing or food in the harsh winter. Struggling with both separation and the cold, these devotees are in urgent need of support.
To assist those who have lost contact with their families, Bharat Disaster Relief Foundation (BDRF) is launching a Winter Relief Campaign to provide warm clothing and nutritious meals to those stranded in Maha Kumbh without essentials.

Distribution of Warm Clothes
Blankets, woolen sweaters, mufflers, gloves, caps, and socks
Food Assistance
Hot, nutritious meals to ensure no devotee remains hungry
On-Ground Support
Helping individuals cope until they reunite with their families

UPDATES
Dear donors,
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your generosity. With your support, we’ve received essential grocery items—200 kilos of rice and flour, 1000 litres of refined oil, 100 litres of mustard oil, 70 kilos each of masoor dal and chana dal, 25 kilos of kabuli chana, 50 packets of papad, and 70 kilos of besan. These are critical supplies that will help us feed the 70 differently-abled children in our care.
Every day, these children face more than physical challenges; they also endure the harsh reality of stigma and social isolation. Many of them have been neglected or overlooked simply because they are different. With your help, we can show them that they are valued and loved.
Please continue to stand by us as we fight for these children’s dignity and hope for their future. Together, we are making a real difference.
Regards,
Anil Singh, Founder

Dear donors,
Your kindness means the world to us. Caring for the 70+ special children is both a joy and a challenge. There are days I struggle to arrange even the basics, relying on shopkeepers to lend us groceries just to get by. While donations come in during festivals or special occasions, the quieter days are the hardest.
But now, because of your support, we can finally breathe a little easier. Our first delivery of essential items is on its way, and we couldn’t be more grateful. I promise to keep you updated every step of the way.
Thank you for standing with us. Your support brings hope, and that hope keeps us going.
Regards,
Anil Singh, Founder

This ensures that beneficiaries receive exactly what they need without any compromise in quality or quantity.Tipping is entirely optional, but every small contribution goes a long way.
