***THIS IS THE E-MAIL SENT BY A MEMBER OF THE NEPALESE SOCIETY OF NORTH TEXAS (NST). It seems like they have been doing somethings to help Raj Silwal out, but just had not updated people or had not have a chance to do so. I truly appreciate and admire all the efforts of the NST people who have devoted their time and strength in helping Raj. Hopefully, they will also initiate a fund raising for him. No hard feelings to the NST, but we were not aware of anything being done by the NST, which led me start this thread. Sorry about that and Good Luck. PLS do keep us posted regarding the matter. Thanks NST!***

Dear Friends,

It was a bit disheartening to read your comments and views towards NST. It is really easy to write against anyone sitting from your home.

Just for an update. We received a phone call at 11:00 PM from the hospital. The next morning we were there. The operation had to be done anytime soon. The first thing we thought of doing is to get Raj's family members here. We started working on the paper work. Before the operation there was nothing more we could do but pray to the Almighty. We sent an email so that people can visit Raj in the hospital. Unfortunately the response was not good. Maybe people were busy with their work, that they did not have time to drop by and wish a young boy from their country who was fighting against brain tumor.
We started taking turns to be with him spending nights in the hospital. Ramji and Janakji were in the forefront. NST members were present when the operation took place. Every moment was spent in nervousness and hopes. Our prayers were heard and the operation was successful. Now we gonna raise funds to get Raj's parents and also to support Raj till he is normal. We gonna apply for charity, the college insurance does only cover a small part of it. There is a lot to do... And NST is doing the best it can...

Now to you... Are you just gonna talk the talk or also walk the walk....

There are few things NST needs help and I hope the members who have shown their interest in Raj and the inability of NST will come forward to help us.
Funds for Raj and to get his family members here. Let us see how much you can contribute.
Take turns at night to be with Raj in the hospital. Let us see how many hours you can help.
I am sorry if my writing has hurt you. Your support for NST is not just to come and vote but to be with NST in these hard times. NST needs young people like you.
NST is not just few members but a whole community. Its success is the success of the community. As a community member there are many ways you can make it successful.

Thanks for your comments... It shows that as a Nepali you are concerned for another Nepali. Just the blaming game was wrong...

GOD BLESS NEPAL
