Fund Support for Funeral & Travelling costs

Life can take an unexpected turn in the blink of an eye, and for Pratiksha and her family, it took a heartbreaking twist on a fateful day. Pratiksha, a dedicated Masters student took on the incredible responsibility of caring for her two younger siblings.

Tragically, their world was shattered in a devastating accident. Pratiksha was seated behind the driver side, alongside Varun, the driver. The accident claimed Pratiksha's life and left Varun in critical condition with severe injuries, including broken ribs, collarbones, and bleeding in the brain.

Now, as the family grieves the loss of their beloved Pratiksha, they face an unimaginable challenge. Pratiksha's father is not only dealing with the emotional pain of losing his daughter but also the financial burden of supporting the family and paying for Pratiksha's education loans.

In this time of immense grief and financial hardship, the Indian Student Association at Wichita State University (ISA) is reaching out to the community for support. The costs associated with this have placed an enormous strain on the family's resources.

We are calling on the kindness and compassion of our community to help Pratiksha's family in their time of need. Your generous donations will go towards covering the expenses for Pratiksha's education loan and travelling charges to India. Every contribution, no matter the size, will make a significant difference in alleviating the financial burden that this family now faces.

Please consider contributing to this GoFundMe campaign to provide a dignified farewell for Pratiksha and help her family through these trying times. Your support will make a world of difference.
