Friends:

 

This email is to inform an unfortunate death of a fellow Nepali in South Eastern Pennsylvania, Mr. Ishwor Gandhari. Ishwor immigrated to the USA about 5 years ago on DV Visa. He was a resident of Montgomery County, PA and was working at Sultan Indian Restaurant at North Wales, PA. He did work at Aman Indian Restaurant as well.

 

He was in Nepal around one and half year ago to marry a girl he liked (It was an intercast love marriage). Since it was an intercast marriage and both of their families didn't like the marriage, he had to leave his wife all alone in a rented apartment in Kathmandu. Now he has a 6 months god gifted son whom he never saw. All he wanted was to get the US citizenship to sponsor and get united with his family. In fact, he had already passed his citizenship test some 3 weeks ago and what remained was a 'sworn in'.


 

He last met with fellow Nepali friends was in a wedding party in the evening of Sunday, July 5th 2009. He could not arrive to the party on time as he had to serve in a party his restaurant had business with. He came to the party at around 10:45 with his fellow Indian and Mexican worker. He met everyone (even someone he didn't know before) personally giving everyone a hug. Nothing was unusual except the fact that he left lasting impression in everyone's mind who attended the party that evening.

 

As far as we know until now is that somebody saw his body lying in the side of the apartment building and called 911. When police arrived and inquired Ishwor's fellow, he immediately identified Ishwor and informed Nepalese in Aman Indian Restaurant at around 8:30am next morning. No one is allowed to see his body as police is completing their formalities.

 

In the meantime, his family in Gorkha and his wife in Kathmandu are notified. Nabin jee from Aman Restaurant is in constant contact with his family and hospital here. Currently family is attempting to get VISA and come to claim the body and perform rituals. We would like to help out his wife and son as well as creamate him. Local community is working witht he hospital and Huff & Lakjer Funeral Home Inc as well.  Funeral date is not yet decided since there are lots of legal formalities to be completed.

 

We appeal you to donate whatever you can to assist Ishwor's family using paypal by clicking at Ishwor Gandhari Fund Please do not forget to mention Ishwor Gandhari Fund in the purpose of your donation.

 

Non Resident Nepalis National Coordinating Council will be assisting for the fund raising and has committed $250.00 for the cause. Obvious expenses includes about $2500.00 for the funeral. Remainder of the raised money will be given to his family for their travel to US for creation and for his kid and wife.



For more information, Nabin 484 686 6366 or Kamal Sharma at 215 460 7266 or Bimal Moktan at 484 557 2066 or Dev at 609 213 7063.

I just donated some money to his fund.


The only problem was with the 'update total' button that appeared below the amount. I wasn't clicking on it.

गान्धारीजी लाई ब्यक्तिगत रुपमा चिन्दिन तर नेपाली भाई को रुपमा चिन्दछु र उनको दु:खद निधनमा मर्माहत छु। ग्रेटर फिलाडेल्फियामा हुने नेपाली भेलामा भेटेको हुंला । के कती करण ले जिन्दगी को यात्रा छोटियो बुझ्न बाँकी नै छ। यहाँका नेपाली समुदाय इश्वरजी को अन्तिम संसकार गर्न सकृय छन।


सबैमा सहयोग को लागि अनुरोध गर्दछु ।

२९ बर्षको पट्ठो। नागरिकता को सपथ मात्र बाँकी थियो रे। अपार्ट्मेन्ट को बरन्डाबाट खसेको हो या आँफै हाम्फालेको रहस्य कै गर्भमा छ ।

Hi Syanjali,

The link is given in the original message. In the sixth paragraph, where it says "Ishwor Gandhari Fund," just click on it to reach a site (www.nepalcouncil.org), you will find a PAYPAL link on the bottom left hand side.

May the departed soul rest in peace.

Thanks for all your support.
