Sanjay Bist's family Education Fund

Our friend Sanjay Bist lost his 4 year battle with brain cancer in July 2020. 

Sanjay was diagnosed with brain cancer in June 2016. He was operated on almost immediately. He underwent extensive chemotherapy and post-operative treatment. Between the consistent chemo sessions and fear of seizures (a common after effect), he was unable to work since. He was on Long term disability. Fortunately, Priti (his wife) had started working as a teacher just before this tragedy hit. This came in handy to cover a majority of the medical costs through her insurance. Sanjay bravely fought through these four years and was still the same person for the first 3 years of this period. However, the last year saw the cancer resurface in a more aggressive form and it was downhill from there. He lost consciousness in the last 10 days of his life after a final seizure that took the fight away from him. 

Sanjay was a gentle and kind soul who was liked by one and all. He was always helpful to those he came in contact with. He was a devoted husband and father. As a professional, he was a natural leader and personable to all the people who reported to him. He was frequently lauded for being a great boss.

Unfortunately, Sanjay ended up without a life insurance from his company due to a technicality. The medical expenses of the last 4 years took its toll on the financial situation of the family.

He leaves behind his wife and two college going kids.  This is an effort by the friends of Sanjay to cover a portion of the education expenses for the family.
