My friends around the world,
Sri Lanka needs you now more than ever.
Cyclone Ditwa has devastated a majority of the island. Over 60 lives have been lost, and countless families have been displaced or reported missing. Entire communities are struggling to rebuild from nothing. Those who survived are now facing a new battle — the urgent need for clean drinking water, food, and basic essentials.
In this moment of tragedy, every act of kindness matters. If you are in a position to support relief efforts, please reach out through official and verified authorities to ensure your help reaches those who need it most.
Let’s stand together for Sri Lanka. Even the smallest contribution can bring hope to a family fighting to survive.
