<div>Our beloved sister, Bandna, only 21 years old, was just three weeks away from graduating from UC Berkeley with a degree in Data Science—a milestone she had worked so hard for—when our world was turned upside down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On April 19, we received the kind of call no family ever wants to get. Bandna had suffered a tragic and devastating fall. She is now paralyzed from the waist down.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In addition to a spinal fracture, Bandna also sustained severe injuries, including tearing of the dura with spinal fluid leakage, a scapular fracture, and a brain hematoma. She is currently hospitalized. These injuries are not only life-altering but will require extensive and ongoing medical care, including physical therapy, rehabilitation, and specialized support to help her navigate this new chapter.
</div>
<div>The journey ahead is extensive and demanding, but with your assistance, we hope to provide the vital resources she requires, specialized care, adaptive equipment, and essential home modifications to help Bandna regain as much independence as possible.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Bandna is a brilliant, compassionate, and resilient young woman who has worked tirelessly toward her dreams. Now, she faces a long and difficult road ahead, and we are humbly asking our community for help.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>To kick off this fundraiser, Bandna’s closest friends are running a <strong>half-marathon this Sunday, May 4th</strong>, in her honor. Our goal is a <strong>$5-per-mile pledge</strong> to raise vital funds for Bandna’s recovery. Whether you’re able to sponsor a mile, donate what you can, or help spread the word, your support will make a powerful difference. If you want to pledge your support behind our runners, please follow this link to the <a href="https://forms.gle/1E1PKp8ChC7zLWa96" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>Donation Pledge</strong></a>. Once you’ve pledged, we’ll send you updates and stats from the race so you can match your donation and see the impact of every mile run in Bandna’s honor.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your support—whether through donations, prayers, or sharing this message—will go directly toward her care, recovery, and efforts to regain her full independence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for standing with Bandna during this time.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Sonya, and I am Bandna's sister. I've organized this fundraiser to support her recovery. 
</div>
