A Heartfelt Appeal to Help Wayanad

Dear Friends,

Imagine waking up one morning to find your home reduced to rubble, your community devastated, and your loved ones struggling to find safety. This is the harsh reality for many in Wayanad today. A series of merciless landslides and torrential rains have torn apart the serene landscape we once knew. What was once a peaceful, lush green paradise is now a scene of utter ruin and heartache.

The devastation is overwhelming. Homes that sheltered families and held their dreams are now buried under tons of mud. The once vibrant fields that provided food and livelihood are now washed away, leaving nothing but barren land. Families have lost everything— their homes, their possessions, and their sense of security. The continuous rains have made the situation even more dire, turning already challenging conditions into a nightmare.

We at We Grow Forest Foundation are reaching out to you with a heavy heart, pleading for your help. The people of Wayanad need us more than ever. They are facing unimaginable pain and loss, and we have a chance to make a real difference in their lives.
