Earthquake help for my Nepal friend
Donation protected
In November 2013, I travelled to Kathmandu, Nepal with the help of my friends Naba, Rishi, Sara, Madan and others. I spent three weeks with them exploring the region, hiking to Tengboche to see Mt Everest, and visiting Rishi's family to celebrate Dashain!! I have become very close to them.
My friends have been devasted by the terrible earthquate that struck Nepal yesterday. They are right in the middle of the disaster. I've been in contact with Naba several times, and they are living in terrible conditions. Naba's house was destroyed, along with the 1000's of others. He and his family are sleeping on the ground in the local park, with no shelter, exposed to the rain and elements. There is NO government help yet. He tells me his goal is to survive the night, and to eventually make it to his village to check on his parents. There are MANY MANY without food.
Naba (and the others) are educated, middle-class people, much like you and I. The tragedy that has befallen them is beyond imagination. Naba is a well-respected business man who I trust. This GoFundMe account is set up to send money directly to him to use as he and his family and fellow villagers see fit.
This is a very personal situation for me, as I want to help my friends in any way I can.
If you are so inclined to donate to help this people, it would be much appreciated. I will gather up the donations and make sure every dollar is sent directly to Naba so he can use and distribute as needed.
Thank you for your generosity!
