In Memory of Ankur: Aid for His Family

Ankur Pandit was a best friend to many. A kind soul who was always the last to leave the party. People who met him once or twice would remember him forever. Many counted him as a major influence on their lives. He was empathetic and embraced people wholly—including their flaws. He would never indulge in badmouthing a friend behind their back, no matter what his personal feelings might have been.

Before his unfortunate and untimely death, Ankur had been preparing to begin a new web development job. He was laid off many months ago and had been job searching and upskilling using online training programs. He was in a dire financial situation after the long period of unemployment and has left behind no funds to cover the costs of his funeral and other related expenses. He also leaves behind no funds to help his 9-year-old daughter, who is extremely gifted and needs all the support she can get to ensure she flourishes.

You have been invited to participate in this fundraiser as one of Ankur's loved ones to help his family with the financial burdens left behind, and to help Anya get the support she needs. Ankur loved each and every one of you with all of his heart, and now we all need to come together to help Ankur, his daughter, and his remaining family.
