<div>Thank you so much for taking the time to read about my dad, Varouj Bedikian. I’m Alique, his older daughter. If you know me or my dad, you know how close we are. My dad has always been the most constant and loving presence in my life, and for as long as I can remember, he has been that same source of strength and light for so many others.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whether it was his boundless energy on the pickleball court, his artistic eye inspiring friends at the art studio, or his generous heart bringing people together at our Armenian church, my dad has always been the person others turn to—for advice, encouragement, or just a great laugh.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Three months ago, my dad was in a life-changing car accident that left him with a traumatic brain injury and several severe physical injuries. Since then, the road has been long and uncertain, but we’re grateful to share that he’s beginning to show progress.</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>He is now able to communicate nonverbally and occasionally speaks a few words, though it varies depending on his energy and the day. While these small victories give us hope, the journey ahead remains challenging. We are committed to giving him every opportunity for continued recovery, but the specialized care and therapies he needs come with significant costs.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>The funds we’re raising will go directly toward his ongoing medical care, including long-term care facilities, physical, occupational, and cognitive therapies, mobility aids, and necessary home modifications. </strong>We are also exploring innovative treatments like stem cell therapy to maximize his recovery potential.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My dad has always been a giver.</strong> He has tirelessly supported the Armenian community, whether through generous donations to organizations like Armenia Fund, AGBU, and Homenetmen or by mentoring others and fostering a sense of connection and pride in our heritage. Through his businesses, he has impacted countless lives, and his friends—whether from the Bay Area, the pickleball courts, or his art circles—have all felt his kindness and generosity firsthand.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Now it’s our turn to give back to him.</strong> My family and I are deeply grateful for the love and support we’ve received over these past three months, but we still need help to give my dad the care he deserves. Every contribution—no matter the size—brings us closer to providing him with the best chance at recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for standing by us during this incredibly difficult time and for supporting my dad, who has given so much of himself to so many.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Alique
</div>
