On behalf of the family, we would like to share a brief update.
Sandeep’s mortal remains are in the process of being sent back to India. He was taken to Auckland yesterday to begin the necessary arrangements.
Manpreet and the children have remained in India and are awaiting Sandeep’s return so that his last rites can be carried out there, surrounded by extended family and friends.
We would like to express our heartfelt thanks to each and every one of the 708 people who have donated so far. Your generosity, kindness, and support have been deeply moving and mean more than words can express.
A special thank you to the mainstream media outlets and several Indian news networks in New Zealand who, over the weekend, helped raise awareness of this fundraiser — and more importantly, shared Sandeep’s story. He was a good man, gone far too soon.
We would also like to acknowledge that a number of friends and family members have supported Manpreet and the family directly. While these contributions may not be reflected in the Givealittle total, they are deeply appreciated.
Finally, thank you to everyone who has taken the time to leave messages of love and support. In due course, Manpreet and the children will read them, and we are confident they will draw great strength from your words.
With sincere gratitude,
Thank you all.
