Hi guys. As many of you may have seen on social media or on the news, there was a 7.9 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal around 12pm (Nepali time) yesterday. There have been around 15-20 more after shocks since then and the country is in mass chaos. As a Nepali living abroad, I want to try and help as much as I can, as this hit really close to home. My family got a call this morning at 4:30am saying that everyone was okay, but a lot of people aren’t so lucky. There have been around 900 reported deaths, but that’s estimated to rise as rescuers find more and more bodies trapped under rubble. My friends created a fundraiser to raise money, where all proceeds will go to the Red Cross in Nepal, so please please consider donating. Every little bit helps. Also please feel free to share this message.

Earthquake Donations

nepal:

For people wondering about where they can donate: right now a lot of websites are down and I cannot get any Nepali Red Cross donation websites to load. I think people are just trying to cope with what’s going on and trying to update things quickly. That being said I do have the phone number for UNICEF Earthquake Emergency fund (1-877-955-3111). You can call them in North America and let them know you’d like to make a donation for Nepal earthquake. 

I’m looking into more organizations, but like I said things are still in a chaotic state. We’re gonna have to wait and see more organizations come forward in the coming days. If someone has links or organizations that we can donate to, please let me know!

Here is a gofundme donation page started by someone I know/trust:

Yes, they are all fine. Thank you! My parents are there as well right now for multiple weddings so it was very scary until I heard from them, but everyone that I know seems to be doing fine.
