Thank you all for the donations made to Geeta Chhetri’s fundDear big hearted friends, Let me tell you a tragic story. A mother comes to attend the graduation ceremony of her son in the United States from Nepal. She meets her son and on her way home she plans on touring DC and NY in a tourist bus. That bus unfornately crashes, overturns and leaves many dead and many injured. She is among the injured and her injury has left her paralyzed and bed ridden for over 8 months. Her son who was in the bus too, incurs few fractures but avoids major injury. This is a true story of Geeta Chhetri and his son Pratik Chhetri. Here are the links. https://sites.google.com/site/pratikfund/site-names-and-locations http://video.foxnews.com/v/970295579001/deadly-tour-bus-accident-in-virginia/ https://sites.google.com/site/pratikfund/home/updates A big hearted person, her life long friend Uttara Basnet an her family has given her shelter in High Point, North Carolina following her hospital stay and treatment. “Over these months she has improved a little and still does not have mobility of legs and hands,” says Narayan Khadka, NASeA executive member who also lives in High Point. Our president Sanjeeb Sapkota who also visited her in High says that she is still dependent on others for basic feeding and sanitary chores.
