Sikh families in Orlando offer to raise money, donate blood for injured


The Sikhs have offered to raise money for food and donate blood for the injured, Singh said. Baljit Singh, an Orlando restaurateur, has been working the phones since he came to know of the mass shootings at Pulse nightclub to offer his Sikh community’s help any way he can. The restaurateur, who once ran World Sikh TV network, said he has been in touch with OneBlood, a blood bank accepting donations for treating the wounded. The response to blood donation calls has been so overwhelming that OneBlood issued an appeal to prospective donors to return in a few days. “We want to help any which way we can,” said Harjit Singh, a priest at Gurdwara Nanaksar Florida, which caters to the community in Orlando and the adjoining city of Kissimmee.
