Thanks to the pandemic, your Mother's Day celebration is going to look very different for the second consecutive year. You may have to resort to catching up with your mum through video or phone calls for her own safety this year. The coronavirus outbreak has even put many mothers on the frontlines as they help fight the battle against the biggest health crisis of our lifetime.
As many of us grieve all that we have lost, perhaps the best way to honour our relentless mothers is by helping the people around us. Dedicate a gift to your mother through these organisations that are helping people brave the devastating second wave of Covid-19.
Hemkunt Foundation is helping arrange oxygen supplies for Covid-19 patients.
Under the ‘Rahat Covid-19' initiative, Goonj is providing dry ration, soap, sanitisers, masks and sanitary napkins to the underprivileged.
Donation platform Give India is running several campaigns for oxygen supplies and other life-saving medical equipment.

Uday Foundation is distributing dry ration, cooked meals, wellness kits as well as oxygen concentrators amid the pandemic.
Another donation platform, you can find donation campaigns for medical supplies and dry ration drives on Ketto.
Lastly, if you really want to buy a gift for your mother then go shop from your local, small business owners. These businesses have suffered immensely and would greatly benefit from a little support!
