Many organizations in the US can provide some support and it does not hurt to ask. A sample letter is posted below so you can send to you HR requesting some help. 

Special Thanks to sajha member KaliKoPoi for providing this template.


The intention of this plea is to provide a draft, so that people can send mass emails to their colleagues, professional organizations, university.



Plea for Help for Nepal Earthquake Victims


You might be already aware of the devastating earthquake that hit Nepal in the morning of April 25. Until now 6000 people have been confirmed dead, and the casualty is expected to go up. Thousands of injured are in desperate need of medical attention. Countless have lost their home and are literally on street in need of food, warm clothes and medicines. Organizations like Red Cross, Unicef, Help Nepal are on the ground with supplies and volunteers but it is no match to the devastation the earthquake has left behind. We may not share the victim’s anguish but we can help to alleviate it. 100% of the contributions will go towards helping victims.


Please make a tax-deductible contribution to these organizations who have opened up direct link to their Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund. Please consider donating to these organizations. These organizations are the most capable of making difference and your contribution WILL SAVE LIFE IMMEDIATELY.

EMAIL TO YOUR HR/ supervisor


Dear …………..,


You might be already aware that my country Nepal has been hit by a series of earthquakes past two days. My family is safe but others were not so lucky. The death toll is already near 6000 and is expected to go up as dust settles after this devastation. Thousands have been injured, countless have lost home. The survivors are in need of basic humanitarian help like food, water, warm clothes, tent. There are a number of organizations helping but they need fund to support their mission.


I am making this personal request to you if there is anything our company can do to help those in needs. Every penny counts. It could be donations on the behalf of company, matching employee contribution or just spreading words. I understand there might be limitation because of company policies but I am confident that you would do everything in your power to help my fellow countrymen.


I would also like to send an email to all the employees to spread the word about this anguish my fellow compatriots are facing.I have attached a draft of the help plea with this email.



Thank You


With hope,
