I am Khyati, an 11-year-old and my brother Mokshit 8-year-old is mourning the death of our parents Madhav(also known as Sai) & Rajini Buddepu. The sudden demise of both our parents and our grandfather in a span of few days has deeply left our entire family, relatives & friends shocked & traumatized.

Our parents caught covid and were getting home treatment for few days, while we were helplessly watching them go through the pain. Their situation started deteriorating and had been hospitalized leaving us both at our grandparent's house. While we're in touch with them on the phone daily, our relatives and friends were trying their best to ensure they return back normal. All these efforts did not bear fruit and both were admitted to ICU. On hearing this news, our grandfather has collapsed under stress. It was so painful to witness his passing away. The day after, our father's situation deteriorated even further due to covid pneumonia and he became unresponsive. The doctors tried to resuscitate him but in vain. Our mother too fought for few more days though her lungs were collapsing; she took her last breath too leaving us in a void that cannot be filled.

Our parents were a lively and happy couple, very helpful and caring for everyone around them. They never blinked to give us the best life and future dreams. Like all children, we relished that special bonding among us 4. Now, they left us behind alone shattered. We lost both our financial and emotional support and taking solace with our grandmother, who is equally traumatized by the loss of her husband and her son and her daughter-in-law right in front of her eyes.

Our uncles and aunts are helping us stay strong; seeking to raise funds for the immediate needs, current and future educational expenses of myself and my brother. We urge all our friends, acquaintances, and well-wishers to please contribute and do the needful. No contribution is big or small. please do whatever you can to help.

Hi everyone, we are Narayana & Tejasri, the uncle & aunt of Khyati & Mokshit and the brother & sis-in-law of their deceased father Madhav. We want to provide an update on how the funds will be well spent for the kids.

The funds collected in USD will be transferred to the kids' joint Indian bank account. They will then be deposited as fixed deposits on their names. The interest accrued will help them for their education & other needs. We and the relatives will take care of other financial needs and their emotional well-being. This will help them grow without depending on anyone and make them as independent as possible. Once they turn 18, the responsibility of the funds will be assigned to the kids. This will again help them build their dreams confidently. 

We sincerely thank everyone for the generous donations.
