Dear Team,

I want to share that our colleague, Deepika Chhabra, is going through an incredibly difficult time. She has recently suffered a heartbreaking loss in her family and is also expecting a baby in the near future. During this challenging period, she could use our support and encouragement.

Please note: This is a personal initiative and not affiliated with WGU. Participation is completely optional, and there is no expectation from the company to contribute.

For those who wish to help, we have set up a GoFundMe Baby Shower Support as well as an Amazon baby registry. Any contribution—whether a donation or a gift—will make a meaningful difference for Deepika and her family.

A little bit about Deepika: She is a Senior Product Manager in EdTech at WGU and joined our team highly recommended by a WGU product alum. From the moment she joined, she embraced our team wholeheartedly—setting up a group chat, affectionately naming us “The Rockstars,” celebrating birthdays and achievements, and sharing in life’s moments. She is warm, kind, and a source of positivity and encouragement for all of us.

Deepika consistently demonstrates leadership and accountability, navigating complex deliverables across multiple stakeholders with clarity and focus. She earns trust through clear communication, thoughtful problem-solving, and reliable delivery. Her family means the world to her, and she was thrilled to spend time in India with her parents and in-laws last year alongside her husband. She is truly an anchor for our team, and we want to lift her up during this time.

Thank you for showing kindness and compassion. Together, we can support Deepika and her family in a way that reminds her she is not alone, and that her friends and colleagues care deeply.
