We are sharing a message from a community member who is seeking support in a difficult situation. The family is from Mehsana district in Gujarat and is living in Ottawa.

Please donate generously as we say

अष्टादशपुराणेषु व्यासस्य वचनद्वयम्।
परोपकारः पुण्याय पापाय परपीडनम्॥
🙏🙏🙏

It is with a heavy heart that I share my family was recently involved in a serious car accident in Ottawa, following which my mother succumbed to her injuries. This sudden loss has left us heartbroken.

She was visiting Canada on a visitor visa. Our insurance coverage will not be sufficient to cover her medical and funeral expenses. Community support will go a long way toward bearing this unexpected loss and making arrangements to give her a respectful funeral.

If you are able to support us during this difficult time, here is our fundraiser link:

Thank you for your kindness and for keeping our family in your thoughts.

Hi everyone, We are going through an extremely difficult and unexpected time. Our beloved grandmother… Heer Jani needs your support for RanjanBen Jani
