You could donate whatever you want to -- $1 onward.
Ramulamma's bank manager has volunteered to monitor your donations, so that they will be used only for the day-to-day livelihood, health and
medical bills, clearing existing debts, if any, and for the education of her teenaged son.
A savings account has been opened in her name recently. Details:
Mrs. BERHA RAMULAMMA, Account number 8B/16/79, Nagarjuna Grameena Bank, Post and Mandal: Chandur; Nalgonda
district, Andhra Pradesh, INDIA 508255. Telephone: +91-8681-248082.
If you are an NRI, you can simply send a cheque in Indian currency favoring
"B. Ramulamma", with a cover letter (sample attached below) addressed to the bank branch manager, Mr Munnangi Prabhakar. He will credit your donation to Ramulamma's
account. Alternatively, you might like to request your family members, relatives or friends in India to
make a contribution to Ramulamma on your behalf. You could reimburse them later.
NRIs as well as citizens of other countries might like to consider this
simple, 5-step method:
-
Take a print-out of the cover
letter.
-
Approach any Indian bank in
your area or any global bank with operations in India (like Citibank)
-
Seek a demand draft (DD) in
Indian currency favoring "B. Ramulamma"; you can pay the bank in your local currency.
-
Fill in the details of the DD, etc, in
the cover letter; keep a photo-copy of the DD for your reference.
-
Mail/courier the
cover letter and DD directly to Ramulamma's bank in India.
Once you make a donation, please email the details like your name, address, contact, amount of donation, date, etc, to the manager of this site, so that they can be published on the site, which could inspire others to follow suit.
May God bless!
