In support of Venkata Girish Kumar Nidra's family -

With a heavy heart, it is to inform you that our beloved friend Girish Kumar Nidra, 37, suddenly passed away in the evening hours of Sunday, 2nd Feb 2025, due to a cardiac arrest. He is survived by his wife, Pawani, and 4-year-old son, Jaswik. We are deeply saddened and devastated by the news and are struggling to come to terms with the shock of losing our dear friend and a fantastic colleague.

Girish was a loving dad, a wonderful husband, and an affectionate son, brother, and friend. He was loved by many and known among family and friends for his passion and willingness to help others in need. Girish was one of the genuinely kind people one could ever meet in life.

Pawani is a housewife, on an L2 dependent visa, and can no longer stay in the U.S. due to immigration issues following the tragic loss of her husband. With her visa status now in jeopardy, she faces the unnerving task of navigating her future alone with their son.

His sudden demise created an irreplaceable void in his family. In addition to the incomprehensible pain and distress such a situation tends to cause, it also brings a heavy financial burden on the surviving members of the family.

Please support us in trying to raise funds to assist Pawani and her family with the much-needed financial stability during this challenging period, by covering the family's day-to-day expenses and their son's education. Any contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference.

Although life will never be the same for Girish's family in his absence, we hope that this GoFundMe will help reduce some of the financial distress that Pawani and their son are likely to face while trying to adjust to a life without the head of their household.

Please keep Pawani and her family in your thoughts and prayers and consider donating what you can, and share this with your family and friends who are able to extend their monetary support. We are forever grateful for every donation during this very difficult time.
