Hi, dear friends and supporters! We have an update from our friends in Nepal; Amrit Tiwari from the Infinite Ability Center, and their efforts to bring immediate aid to families devastated by the recent catastrophic flooding in Nepal. Because of all of you -- 125 donors so far -- we've been able to raise over $14,000 and most of it has already gotten transferred to Nepal. Amrit and his friends have identified over 60 families in need in the Trishuli Bazar area (which is accessible, unlike many remote areas for now), and will be bringing urgent necessities to them over the next couple days. Please take a minute to watch our video update and hear from Amrit himself. And THANK YOU, for your kind donations and spreading the hope and love to our brothers and sisters in Nepal! Please do share this GoFundMe with others in your life who'd like to make a difference, too. It means so much to those who've been left with literally nothing, in the wake of that awful flash flood. Namasté!

Dear friends (and new friends, whom we didn't know before), THANK YOU for the outpouring of support for Amrit and his phenomenal crew at Infinite Ability Centre in Nepal. So far, the fundraiser has met its initial goal of $12,000USD -- because of your generosity! We are headed for $20K now, and waiting for GoFundMe's funds to reach us (at UCBK) so we can transfer to Nepal, and the good young people at Infinite Ability Centre can get the heartbreakingly-needed aid to Nepalis in remote, underserved areas. You are all upholding the best of humanity -- when disaster strikes, everyone not affected can spring into action, to help. Please, help us spread the word -- share this fundraiser with friends, family, on social media, by word of mouth, or even carrier pigeon... -- the more donors, the more relief we can bring. Thank you, again, for your overwhelming generosity. We can do this!

Gosh, dear friends! We've had this fundraiser going for less than 24 hours, and have already raised more than $4000 for our friends in Nepal! THANK YOU! We are one third of our way towards our goal of 12,000 because of your kind contributions and sharing this campaign far and wide. I'm including some photos of rescue efforts in Nepal -- it's one thing to see the mud-infused villages, and buildings that have been washed away and/or sunk under layers of mud from the glacial lake flooding. It's another to see the human beings who've been lucky enough to survive that shocking disaster. The last photo is of Amrit, in 2021, delivering medical supplies to a remote area in Nepal during the Covid19 pandemic. No doubt the images of him and his team delivering emergency supplies as soon as they receive the funds from this campaign will be similar. I wanted you to have some idea of what their efforts will look like, on the ground, as they begin bringing relief to many otherwise stranded people. Please keep sharing this fund-raiser! The response has been so incredible, and encouraging, that we want to spread the word widely and give folks the chance to help our brothers and sisters in Nepal. Thank you! Hug your family members a little closer today, please... (depending on where we live, this could be any of us, as Mother Earth's climate is changing rapidly, and creating natural disasters of all sorts, now.) Life is so precious. Thank you for helping us bring relief to so many, in Nepal.

Hi, everyone! Alx, here, at UCBK. By now you've heard about the horrific glacial flash flood that has devastated Nepal, leaving thousands homeless, missing, with confimed deaths rising. Our Nepali friends at the Infinite Ability Centre in Katmandu really need your help to provide basic, immediate relief to as many people as they can reach! My organization, UCBK (Universal Church of Baba's Kitchen), has collaborated in human relief efforts with the good young people at the Infinite Ability Centre helping rural/mountain area people survive the Covid pandemic... by establishing field clinics with medical staff, oxygen, medicines and basic food and other necessities for those in remote areas near Sindupalchowk, Nepal. Together, we did a GoFundMe in 2021 that was super-successful, and saved many lives. Rural Nepal needs your help again From our friend Amrit, who runs Infinite Ability Centre, and has seen the devastation and need for immediate aid with his own eyes (and sent some of the photos in this post): "But honestly, what you are seeing here is only a small part of the actual situation. I was able to reach only the areas that still have road access. There are many villages further up in the mountains that I could not reach at all. From what I have been informed is some entire settlements have been swept away, and in a few places, not even a single house can be seen any more. Many families have lost everything, and there are still people whose whereabouts are unknown. The pictures and videos I shared do not fully show the scale of this disaster. What is happening beyond the accessible areas is heartbreaking and extremely difficult to comprehend. From what we are seeing on the ground, the most urgent needs right now are basic survival supplies. The biggest priority is food supplies, as many families have lost access to their homes and normal sources of food. There is also an urgent need for tents and temporary shelter, fuel, batteries, lights/torches, power banks and charging equipment, medicines, and first-aid kits. Many affected areas have little or no electricity, and some communities are still cut off from proper access. People need immediate support simply to stay safe, warm, fed, and connected." Let's send immediate relief! UCBK, as an American non-profit, can easily collect the funds and get them to the Infinite Ability Centre folks in Nepal, so they can provide: Food supplies Tents and temporary shelter Basic necessities like fuel, batteries, flashlights, power banks/chargers Medical support like medicine and first-aid kits As you can imagine, the need is urgent -- and immediate. DONATE, SHARE, SUPPORT Please, please, join us in our mission to help Amrit and his courageous team bring immediate relief to the Nepali people in this hour of extreme need. Every amount helps us get nearer our goal of $10,000 to cover basic necessity relief needs as quickly as possible, and will save lives on the ground. If you can’t donate funds directly, at least commit to share this campaign and enlist the help of friends who maybe CAN donate (and share)….? And thank you, thank you, thank you, from UCBK, on behalf of Amrit Tiwari, Manita Karki, Prasiddi Timalsina, Rashila Tiwari, and all of our friends in the IAC's Flood Relief Team. There are not enough hugs of gratitude for all of you! _________________ For GoFundMe general disclaimer/explanation purposes.... UCBK, The Universal Church of Baba's Kitchen, the non-profit spiritual and charitable organization that I administrate (as President of the board), is raising this money on behalf of our friends in Katmandu, to distribute immediate aid in remote areas of Nepal afflicted by this horrible flooding. We have a large email and donor base, so it makes sense for us to get the word out, collect the funds, and give them to the local relief team in Nepal as soon as we have them available. UCBK is based in the United States, in California.
