Help us help Nepal
Donation protected

"Hi! I'm Fin Porter and this is my friend, Sajan Fowler. Sajan was born in Nepal and adopted by American parents when he was four-years old. We are both going to be sophmores in high school next year. We decided that this summer we were going to try to experience something powerful and helpful and memorable."
"Hi, I'm Sajan. Over the years I have stayed in contact with my Nepalese family. As you are aware there were two major earthquakes this Spring in Nepal. Fortunately my Nepal family survived. That said, there hundreds - thousands - that are still desparately in need of help.
"In late July, my friend, Fin, and I are going with my mom to Nepal for three weeks to help where we are needed. My mom works for Direct Relief so we have insight and direction on where our efforts can be best utilized. But in order to go we need your help. It's expensive to get there and, more than anything, we want to go there with a reserve fund so that we can purchase essential items for those that cannot afford them for themselves.
Please consider a donation. Every bit helps.
Thank you for your help!

Airfare - $3,200
