Update March 5th, 2025

Dearest friends,

Thank you so much for your contribution in supporting my mother and my family. We are deeply grateful to have this support and we thank you from our hearts.

With sadness, I share that Karma passed away on Sunday.

I am overwhelmed and grateful for life & death. Since then I have been conflicted with sadness for her absence, yet grateful to have had access to modern medicine and her freedom from pain and suffering.

All the proceeds will go towards the funeral, cremation & offerings to monasteries and monks in CA and Bhutan in her honor to support her next journey as per our Buddhist traditions.

Please keep her in your prayers and hug your loved ones with care

I love you all.

Thank you

Pema

Hello, my name is Zyanya Velazquez, and I am raising funds on behalf of my dear friend Pema Yangden and her beloved mother, Karma Dem. Karma recently fell into a coma due to severe brain injury.

In this difficult time, it would help ease the burden for their family to have financial assistance to support Karma's care and related expenses.

Our initial target fundraising is $25,000.

Any contribution you can make are deeply appreciated for your kindness and generosity during this difficult time. If you're unable to donate, please share Karma's story with your friends and family.

Thank you for your support as we stand by Karma and her loved ones.

Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.✨
