Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Dr. Ashna Pokhrel, a beloved wife, mother, and dedicated endocrinologist, who fought bravely against cancer until the very end. Ashna's life and her work were defined by unwavering compassion and dedication to improving the lives of others. To honor her remarkable legacy, we have established this GoFundMe campaign with three important goals that reflect to capture the essence of what she stood for and cared about deeply:

1. Endowment for the Next Generation of Endocrinologists

The first $25,000 raised will go directly to establishing an endowment with the ECU Health Foundation. This endowment will allow for an annual award to a medical resident entering the field of Endocrinology, helping to support the next generation of doctors who will continue Dr. Ashna Pokhrel’s work in this vital specialty.

2. College Fund for Her Two Young Children

The next $25,000 will go directly into a college education fund for Dr. Pokhrel’s two young children, Aarush and Adrik, ensuring they have the opportunity to pursue their dreams and receive a quality education, just as their mother had always hoped for them.

3. Supporting Cancer Patients and Research in Nepal

Any additional funds raised will be directed toward supporting cancer patients and advancing cancer research in Nepal, Dr. Pokhrel’s homeland. She was deeply committed to her roots and aspired to give back to her country by improving the lives of those battling cancer there.

We hope that through this campaign, we can help honor Dr. Ashna Pokhrel’s legacy and support the causes she was most passionate about—medical education, her children's future, and cancer care in Nepal. Your generosity will help ensure that her impact continues to be felt for years to come.

Thank you for your support during this difficult time. Your contributions, whether large or small, will help fulfill Dr. Ashna Pokhrel’s vision and make a meaningful difference in the lives of many.
