I was shocked and heartbroken when I heard that my oldest brother Ramakant Parate (Seoni, India) left us on July 26th, 2024. He was only 53 years old. He met with a severe accident while working in the agricultural field. The tractor that he was driving went upside down and broke his left shoulder and multiple injuries to his hand. He was in the ICU for 15 days. He fought his best but ultimately due to multi-organ failure couldn’t make it.

His wife and 2 kids are devastated. He was charismatic and easygoing and loved his family and friends immensely. He was kind and always there for others whenever anyone needed any help.

I am posting this to help raise funds to support their family expenses including the medical cost they incurred while he was in ICU, and reserve some funds for kids' education while his wife gathers the strength to build on needed skills to join workforce to sustain ongoing expenses.

Your support and kindness to my family is greatly appreciated. Stay safe and be blessed.

My sincere gratitude and thank you to all of you for your support and generosity.
