Impact in Numbers
Monday, July 20, 2020
Last month Maggie shared with the world that our Nepali community was facing a humanitarian crisis as nearly 500,000 migrants rushed across the India-Nepal border in an effort to return home to their villages after losing their jobs amidst the COVID-19 lockdown and outbreak. Our team immediately jumped into action— providing food, water, and basic necessities to our Nepali brothers and sisters. Your response to our calls for support was nothing short of overwhelming. We say this often, but our BlinkNow family really is the best. Here is YOUR impact in numbers.
