Dear Community Members,

We are saddened to share that Shirish Pokhrel, a 21-year old Nepali student from Butwal Nepal, has tragically passed away in Dryden, Ontario Canada. He had completed his studies just a year ago and was working full-time at Walmart. He was the only son in his family.

We are requesting your generous support to help send his body back to Nepal so his family can perform his final rituals. The repatriation cost is estimated to be $12,000 and we cannot meet this without community support.

Any contribution big or small will make a meaningful difference.

Your prayers, kindness and donations are deeply appreciated.

Thank you.
