Thank you so much to everyone who's shared & donated for your generosity. The fundraiser's at 82% to Archita's goal and support has slowed a lot. She'd be most grateful if people keep sharing & giving so she can reach her goal & get some security in this terrible time.
Fellow Calcuttan writer/editor Archita Mittra is in desperate need of financial help. She recently lost her father, her home was damaged in the recent rains, & her mother's in hospital. They don't have insurance, & she's a freelancer. I can vouch for her. Please share widely & donate:
