Marshal Fire Victim support by Nepalese Community

The December 30 Marshall fire in Boulder County, Colorado, forced thousands to flee from their homes as flames exploded across 6,000 acres, propelled by wind gusts of more than 100 mph. In less than 24 hours, the fire destroyed some 600 homes. In all, 991 structures were destroyed in the region. The fire damaged or destroyed between $819 million and $1.6 billion worth of homes alone, not including the valuations of the businesses, and has become the most destructive in Colorado’s history.

Nepali organizations and Nepali community of Colorado express the deepest sympathy to the affected families and the community. We share the pain and discomfort of the families and like to offer our support however small it may be. Nepali community of Colorado has started a GoFundMe fundraiser to support the Marshall fire victims and we request all Nepali brothers and sisters living inside and outside of Colorado to make donations for this humanitarian cause. This is pure humanitarian support, and we want to stay above anything else to help needy people. Let’s be together, and reach out to each and every hand who wants to help for this great cause.

The collected fund will be 100% used to support the affected families and community through proper channels and all the transactions will be presented to you in a transparent manner.
