JRM Foundation for Humanity www.jrmfoundation.org Fahim Rahim, MD. FASN - Chairman of the Board "We need all Nepalese American communities to come together. I just got a call from the mother of one of the young women from Seattle who lost her life in Langtang during the earthquake. She wanted to remind everyone about the warmth and generosity that Nepal and its people have offered to the world. She made it clear that she wanted everyone to come together as a community and support the victims to pull through this tragedy. We cannot and should not forget about them.The best thing that can come out of this tragedy is for the Nepalese community in America and around the world to unite. We cannot let the world nor the American government forget Nepal; we cannot let them turn this into another Haiti incident. I need your voice more than your money, and need it to be loud and clear because millions of Nepalese are counting on us. These are the people I shook hands with, and the people who hugged me and shed a tear with me. This is what this effort is about. Let us all unite so we can be a force that will move mountains." ● Managing Partner - Idaho Kidney Institute, LLP& Idaho Kidney Consultants, LLC ● Director - Idaho Kidney Center, Pocatello ID & Idaho Kidney Center, Blackfoot ID ● 2011 Recipient Ellis Island Medal of Honor ● 2007 Congressional Record recipient, US Senate ● 2011 Congressional Record recipient, US House On the World Wide Web www.idahohometownhero.org  youtube.com/idahokidney www.idahokidney.com  www.nephroconsultants.com  www.libertydialysis.com On National Public Radio's "House Call" http://twitter.com/housecallki... http://www.facebook.com/housec...
