My name is Ashrith Reddy Koduru. I am reaching out during the most painful time of our lives to ask for your support in bringing my brother Anurup Reddy Koduru home to India for his final rituals.
My brother was a true hero. He was an amazing swimmer, and when he saw three of his friends drowning, he didn't hesitate; he jumped into the water and successfully saved all three of them. Tragically, during the rescue, his feet became entangled in a submerged fishing wire. The current pulled him into the stream, taking him 20 feet deep where the rescue team later found him. He gave his life so others could live. We are absolutely devastated, and our immediate priority is to transport his body from the United States back home to our parents and family in India. The cost of international repatriation, legal documentation, and transportation is incredibly high. Any contribution you can make will help us bring our hero home for the sacred final rituals he deserves. Please keep our family in your thoughts and prayers.
