Support Vasu's Family After Tragic Loss

With deep sorrow and unimaginable grief, we share the tragic news of the untimely passing of Pachigolla Vasu Dev Gupta, a kind-hearted, ambitious young man who lost his life due to tuberculosis. Vasu was not only a brilliant student but a devoted son, a caring brother, and the sole pillar of support for his family. Coming from a modest background in India, he carried the full weight of his family’s hopes on his shoulders. He came to the United States to pursue a master’s degree, driven by a dream to give his loved ones a better life. To make this dream possible, Vasu took on a significant amount of student loan debt, never imagining that he would not live to see that vision fulfilled.

In the final days of his life, Vasu was admitted to Baptist Hospital in Beaumont, Texas, after his health deteriorated rapidly. The doctors diagnosed him with a severe case of tuberculosis and informed that both of his lungs had completely failed. He was unable to breathe on his own and was placed on a ventilator. Despite the efforts of the medical team, his condition worsened overnight. Just one day after being admitted, Vasu tragically passed away, leaving his family and friends in shock and heartbreak.

Vasu’s sudden passing has left his family devastated—not just emotionally, but financially as well. His father, who is physically handicapped, was fully dependent on Vasu both emotionally and financially. His younger sister, currently in college, is now at risk of abandoning her education due to lack of support. With no stable income, no savings, and no safety net, the family is facing a future filled with uncertainty, pain, and fear. To make things even harder, the burden of unpaid student loans, medical bills, and funeral expenses now weighs heavily on a family that has already lost their most precious member.

It will also provide basic living expenses for his father, help cover the funeral and medical bills, and reduce the crushing weight of Vasu’s student loan debt.
