Assist a Family in Need After Tragedy

Help a Mother and Daughter Heal After an Unimaginable Loss”

“Thanuja, a middle school teacher in Willcox, Arizona, embarked on a journey from India to the United States with the hope of building a brighter future for her family. Her husband, Arun Khaja, was her unwavering partner—loving, kind, and deeply devoted to their young daughter. A Sudden Loss and Overwhelming Challenges On July 2, 2025, Thanuja's world was shattered by the unexpected loss of Arun. She is now a widow and the sole caregiver for their 9-year-old daughter, Poshitha Khaja. Poshitha, still so young, grapples with the immense weight of this loss, often asking for her father, leaving Thanuja searching for words to comfort her. Beyond the profound grief, Thanuja is facing significant financial strain. The costs associated with Arun's funeral, accumulating medical and insurance bills, and the daily expenses of raising a child alone have become an overwhelming burden. Her salary as a middle school teacher, which once barely covered their basic needs, is now stretched thin. A Plea for Support Thanuja is reaching out for assistance—not only to provide her husband with a dignified farewell but also to help her and Poshitha find stability as they navigate this new chapter. Your support will contribute to: * Funeral and memorial expenses * Paying off medical and insurance bills * Covering rent, utilities, and essential living costs * Providing Poshitha with a sense of security during this difficult time Every donation, regardless of its size, will bring them one step closer to healing and stability. If you are unable to contribute financially, please consider sharing their story; your support in any form means the world to them. Thanuja extends her heartfelt gratitude for your compassion, prayers, and support during this incredibly challenging time.”
