Ensure Rakshya's Safe Housing at UMASS

Donation protected
  • Update for Rakshya: Rakshya spent her first night in a hotel after being picked up by a family she had met previously when they did mission work in Nepal. The next 3 nights she stayed with a friend in her dorm room. After looking at apartments that had low rent we decided it wasn't safe for her to stay alone off campus. She was able to secure a dorm room and we have paid the deposit. The funds we have raised so far with keep in in the dorm and with food for a period of time. We will continue to raise fund for her to be able to finish the semester. We ill be working with a local school in Nashville to get her transferred to TN where she can live with us. Thank you to everyone who has donated so far but mostly thank you to God for his provision.

We have an emergency need for funds to help a young girl that will arrive in the US tomorrow without a place to live. For the last 10 years, I have been traveling to Nepal to spend time with young people and families who have been affected by human trafficking. Out of tragedies, we sometimes have stories of redemption and hope. I am raising money for Rakshya. She is traveling to the US to attend UMASS Dartmouth. She had a big dream to study and get educated in the US so she can one day return to her country and give hope to others that come from a similar background as hers. She has received scholarship money to pay for her tuition and books but does not have the funds for housing. Because of the language barrier and lack of adequate internet there has been some miscommunication about on campus housing. We would like to raise enough money to get Rakshya into the dorms with a meal plan so she will be safe while she studies so far from home and will not have the stress and worry of being without a safe home. Her plan is to spend the summer working so she will have enough money to pay for her housing next semester. She is a very smart girl and given the right environment she will have a chance of changing the course of he life. Anything you give would be greatly appreciated by Rakshya.
