We are Ulan’s high school classmates and friends from the boarding department.

We met Ulan when we were just 14 to 18 years old, years that shaped who we are. During that time, Ulan became more than a friend to us; he became family.

The news of his passing has left us deeply shocked and profoundly saddened.

As many of us are now parents ourselves, we can only begin to imagine the unbearable pain that the Iskakov and Omarov families are experiencing.

While we know that no amount of money can replace the love and presence of a father, we feel a deep responsibility to come together to honor Ulan’s memory and to support his family during this unimaginable time.

This fundraiser is a way for us to show our love, solidarity, and compassion.

Beyond helping Ulan’s family directly, we also hope it raises awareness for children who have lost their parents, ensuring they have access to education, opportunities, and a strong support network to rely on.

Ulan will always remain in our hearts, as a friend, a brother, and a part of our shared youth.
