As the recovery efforts evolve, Baba Zoom will stay responsive and supportive, and adapt to Baba's Will with love and intuition.

Please support the Fundraiser so that we can continue to support our neighbors! If you cannot give, you can help us spread the word of this good work, translating Baba's love into action. We will make sure the funds directly help the people who are suffering, with no middlemen.
