Dear All, My friend Arun Thapa is severely injured in a car accident along with sabina. He is still in trauma and burn incentive care unit (TBICU) and is supported with ventilator University of Alabama at Birmingham(UAB) Hospital. Inspite of his condition, Doctors are optimistic about his full recovery. Since his injuries are very serious it is going to take long time for him to recover. I would like to request you all for help in this difficult situation. I would also like to request you all to forward this email to your friends, Nepalese student association, nepalese association or anyone or organization if  possible. For now we are trying to coordinate a fundraiser for the initial fund for Arun and Sabina, at least for their day to day expenses during their recovery phase. Please contribute as much as you can so that their post traumatic life would be easier. Once we get a more detailed information about their medical expenses a more aggressive fundraiser will be needed. We are still trying to cope with things like insurance, Arun's legal status as student in USA, Arun's Surgeries etc.  Details and donation form can be found at http://nsa.org.msstate.edu/. I appreciate your kind help. thank you . BinodB
