Hi,
Thanx guys for the update.I hope and pray the news that his parents got visa and are on the way is true as last time I heard they were stranded in Ktm due to denial of visa. I urge all nepali community to help out the victim financially as I know they gonna need it badly,soon.

If they were hit by a car, then the driver will b responsible for all the medical expenses and compensation. But be sure to make clear whether the driver been caught or not?

No . they wern't denied VISA . Where do u people get such news from ? Anyway's I know all 3 students . Yes,Akash is still in a critical condition , hopefully with god's grace he will make it .
Doctor's r trying hard and we all r praying for him .These kids are from wichita KS , and had gone there to work , unfortunately were struck by a reckless driver at 12.30 am in the night . The cops say the driver was not drunk , but he did hit and run .
The driver has been caught and is 17 yrs old . These guys r trying to find a good lawyer so that they can fight it out in the court ,( specially with akash being in critical condition ),If anyone knows any nepalese lawyer plz do post his/her phone number so that these kids and get help .Nepalese embassy has been really helpful and have been supporting these kid's to the full extent .

As for the fund raising , i am not sure but today akash's parents will be on Ocean city and i'll keep u guys posted with whats happening and if help is needed i'll post it .
Thank you all and please do pray for his welfare and quick recovery .

yes guys if the driver is caught, we dont need to worry about the medical bills so far. Now the matter is about the condition of nepalese brothers.
May god help you guys.
