<div><strong>Our country is grieving</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In recent days, <strong>Nepal</strong> has faced a heartbreaking tragedy. Peaceful protests against corruption and injustice turned into scenes of violence, where young people — <em>full of hope and dreams</em> — were met with bullets instead of answers.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Dozens of youth and even children have been shot. Some passed away instantly. Others are now lying in hospital beds, fighting for their lives. Families who once had bright futures in their children now face only silence, loss, and uncertainty.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Among those we lost was 24-year-old Rashik Khatiwada.
</div>
<div>Rashik<strong> </strong>grew up in Kathmandu, with his permanent home in Kavre. He was the only son of his family — their pride, their joy, and their hope for the future. On that tragic day, Rashik was shot in the chest. His parents lost everything in an instant. The emptiness left in their home cannot be described in words.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div><img alt="" media_type="3" src="https://d2g8igdw686xgo.cloudfront.net/94665809_1757960209139568_r." width="100%" />
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rashik was not just another name in the news — he was close to us, a dear friend, like a brother. His laughter, kindness, and spirit touched everyone around him. To lose him in such a cruel and senseless way has left a wound that will never heal.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>But Rashik’s story is not alone. It reflects the pain of so many other families across Nepal who have lost their children to this fight for justice and peace. Mothers and fathers have buried their only sons. Brothers and sisters cry for siblings who will never come home. Youth with dreams of a better Nepal now lie in hospital beds, struggling for recovery.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who I Am</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Samir Maharjan, I am from Kathmandu, Nepal. I am a sound healer and community worker who has supported people during past crises such as the 2015 earthquake and the Covid lockdown.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>My Connection</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Rashik Khatiwada, one of the victims, was my close friend — like a brother to me. His family lives in Kavre, though he grew up in Kathmandu. He was only 24 years old, their only son, and their greatest hope. Tragically, he was shot in the chest during the protest and passed away. Alongside Rashik, many other young people were injured or killed in this tragedy.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Why We Are Raising Funds</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We cannot bring back the lives lost. But together, we can ease the crushing burden these families now carry.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This fundraiser will support:
</div>
<div>•	Funeral and travel expenses for families who lost their loved ones
</div>
<div>•	Immediate living support for parents who depended on their only son
</div>
<div>•	Medical treatment for the injured youth who are still fighting for life in hospitals
</div>
<div>•	Justice and advocacy support so families can continue their struggle for accountability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Every rupee collected will go directly to affected families. Our first priority will be the parents who lost their only child, like Rashik’s family. The second priority is covering urgent hospital costs for the injured.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong> Our Past Contributions</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In the past, we have tried to do our part during difficult times in Nepal. During the devastating 2015 earthquake, we used our own personal funds to provide help. During the Covid lockdown, we distributed food to people on the streets when they had nothing.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We never asked for outside support before. But today, this tragedy is far greater than we can carry alone. That is why we are opening this fundraiser — so together, we can help the families of the youth we lost, including Rashik, and those still injured.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How Funds Will Be Used</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	Funeral and final rites expenses for families (average NPR 50,000–80,000 per family)
</div>
<div>•	Household support for families who lost their only son (3–6 months of living costs, ~NPR 200,000 each)
</div>
<div>•	Medical expenses for injured youth (treatment, medicine, rehabilitation)
</div>
<div>•	Basic legal and advocacy costs for justice
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We will post regular updates with receipts, hospital bills, and family acknowledgments. Transparency is our promise.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>How You Can Help</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>•	Donate whatever you can — every contribution makes a difference
</div>
<div>•	Share this page widely with friends, family, and colleagues
</div>
<div>•	Stand in solidarity with the families who lost everything, so they know they are not alone
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Final Words</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This is not just about money. It is about compassion. It is about telling the families of Nepal’s fallen youth: “<em>We see your pain. We stand with you. You are not alone</em>.”
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Please, help us honor the memory of Rashik<strong> </strong>and all the youth who gave their lives for justice and peace. Your support — in donations or in sharing this page — can bring light to families living in darkness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Thank you for your kindness and solidarity.
