My name is Tammy. In 2012 my boyfriend and I traveled to Nepal and met a very nice young Nepali man named Kumar working in the hotel restaurant. We became pen pal friends.
When I traveled back to Nepal again in 2014 he was still working at the hotel. I was so happy to see what a honest and responsible young man he had grown into. He had just gotten married and he and his new bride were expecting their first child.
When the earthquake happened this past April I was very concerned for Kumar and his family since they live in a small village called Thulo Sirubari which is located about a 4 hour bus trip from Kathmandu. This area was hit very hard by the quake.
Luckily Kumar and his pregnant wife Narbada were not harmed in the earthquake, but their home was completely destroyed.
Today they live in a very small dirt floor shelter with their six month old son Suprim. Kumar still commutes to Kathmandu to work at the hotel but his hours have been cut due to new ownership. Kumar has already began working on rebuilding his family's home and has some of the supplies such as wood and stones, but he still needs a lot of help to build a safe home for his family.
He expects that the cost to rebuild will be approximately 1,000,000 Nepalese Rupee ( which equals about $9,900 US dollars). The Nepalese government donated only 15,000 NPR to the family (approximately $150 US) so they have a long way to go to reach their goal.
I try to send money to them when I can and feel as if they are like my adopted family! Every time I offer the smallest amount of help they offer me such heartfelt gratitude! I am learning how different life is for them and how a little for us is so much to them.
I will continue to try to help the family as much as I can but would love nothing more than to fly to Nepal and present them with enough money to rebuild their home! This is where you come in... Any amount of money would mean the world to this beautiful young family in need!
I plan to take many photographs of the rebuilding process so anyone donating can see where their money is going. Please. Any help would be so great.y appreciated! A little truly does go a long way!
It seems as tho the world has all but forgotten the tragic earthquake in Nepal. But the people there are still struggling. Let's not let them be forgotten!
