During my trip to Mumbai, I visited an uncle I knew who would help. He has been distributing blankets to the needy since the 80's. I approached him for sponsorship and tips. He is thrilled to hear about my intention and supports it. As a gesture, he has given me 12 sweaters to distribute in Delhi. He might sponsor a chunk of the blankets I intend to donate this winter.
For the remaining, I might solicit donations on Facebook, or websites where projects and undertakings get funding from people who are convinced of the vision behind the project.
I regret in my heart that the sweaters have been lying around since 3-4 days, but I have been tied up. I also have yet to find out the wholesale rate of these blankets and calculate the funds required. I have to find a supplier.
