Help Tula Ram Chhetri and Daughters

Tula Ram Chhetri had a fatal car crash on South of Twizel on April 19, around 6.45 p.m. on their way back from Dunedin to Christchurch. The devastating crash has resulted in the demise of Tula Ram’s beloved wife Mon Maya Chhetri and their 7 months old son Aaron. Tula Ram had a serious injury and is still recovering at Christchurch hospital, while his daughter Jessica had a minor injury and has been discharged. He is left with his three daughters, Srijana (19), Bidhya (11) and Jessica (7).

Chhetri family were resettled in Christchurch from a Bhutanese refugee camp in Nepal in March 2008 and since had been an integral part of our Bhutanese Community here. Tula Ram and Mon Maya are widely known as a loving couple with an utmost desire to help others in the community.

With Mon Maya and Aaron no more, Tula Ram has got to look after their three daughters on his own with so horrid an accident in his mind. Looking at his condition and nature of the accident, it seems unlikely that Tula will be getting back to work anytime soon. Family is already going through the worst of hardship a human has to suffer, and seeing them struggle financially is the last thing we want.

Their daughter Shreejana is an aspiring health science student at the University of Otago, and Mon Maya had aways wished to see her be a doctor. Through this campaign, we would like to help Shreejana fulfil her mum's wishes and the family with the financial difficulties.

Lets all come together as a community to help Tula Ram Chhetri and his daughters in this time of great distress and sorrow. Your donations would make their life a little easier.The raised fund will go into the account of the eldest daughter Shreejana and will go towards benefitting the family.
