Help Bring Sam & Mukshah’s Families Together!

Hi, I am Andrew, and you know me from Richmond Hill, where my family and I live in the residential community with the wonderful Sam Thomas Arisapogu and Mukshah Phom.

Sam and Mukshah have become incredibly important to us, and we find them in a challenging position as they approach their Nov. 23 wedding day. We want to do whatever we can to help. We are trying to raise $5,000 to cover the expenses of their families' airfare, traveling from India.

Now I’ll pass it over to Sam!

Dear Friends and Family,

We hope this message finds you well. As many of you know, Mukshah and I are on the brink of an exciting chapter in our lives—our wedding! This is a joyful milestone for us, and we can’t wait to celebrate our love with our closest family and friends. However, as we dive into wedding planning, we’ve encountered some financial challenges.

Due to Mukshah’s visa situation, we need to hold our wedding in the U.S. This means we are covering the flight fares for my parents and Mukshah’s brother and brother-in-law to join us on our special day, which has significantly impacted our budget. While we are grateful that they can be there to support us, these costs have left us struggling to afford the other wedding expenses. Our savings are limited, and while we’ve considered simplifying our plans, we still find ourselves in a difficult position.

We have shared our situation with a few of our friends, and Andrew, our dear friend and colleague, encouraged us to reach out to our community for support. We are grateful to him for giving us this platform, and we would like to appeal for any support you may be willing to offer us.

We want to stress that there is no obligation to contribute; your love and friendship mean the world to us. However, if you feel moved to help us create a beautiful day filled with joy and love, we would be incredibly grateful.

Thank you for considering our request. No matter the outcome, we are excited to embark on this journey together, and we appreciate each and every one of you who has supported us along the way.

With love and gratitude,

Sam Thomas Arisapogu

Mukshah Chingzung Phom
