Nepali Fire Victim

Last Friday night on Nov 13th 2009, an apartment block caught fire at
University Green Apartment in Clear Lake, Texas. A total of 12 units were
totally destroyed in this fire. Among these, two units were those of our Nepali
families with kids. Fortunately, everybody was safe. However, they lost all
their belongings and hence they need help to meet basic needs.

We are hoping and requesting for your help and support for these two
displaced family. They need the help right now. Please let us all come together
to give a starting point to re-build their lives all over again and help
spiritually and financially.

I agree with Blingbling.

Asking for a help hiding identity is not helpful..........

i agree with blingbling.
Guys US is a land of opportunities.
instead of helping the rich get back to his standards dont u think helping poor to survive would be better option. help those ppl who are starving to death and have no opportunities at all.
atleast these ppl are in us. fire, i am sure did not take their jobs.

just my thought . well if we could help those ppl out there live just another day with a smile back in nepal would be wonderful. if u search u will see hundreds of ppl . i have even seen ppl outside bir hospital who wish to live just another day but  are ignored because they cant afford health care, medi etc.
 i am sure these fire victims will be taken care by the apartment ppl.

i am not trying to discourage ur sympathy towards them but just putting in my thought about other more needy ppl then these fire vistims.

good bless all.

I work in a gas station.

really sad to hear that !!!

that was nice sexy in sari......

Looks like several people are saying that victims can use renter's insurance. I can tell you that these individuals did not have insurance. Otherwise they would not have asked for help!

I agree with one discussion participant - fire is fire whether it is in USA or in Nepal. These individuals lost majority of their belonging that was accumulated with hard earned money. Those who came to USA and had to start life from the scratch would agree that it is indeed a struggle to survive in USA. I agree there are plenty of opportunities. Still it takes many years of hard work, patience etc.

Long story short - if you feel like, send few dollors you can afford. If not, you do not have to contribute. Just do not go on comparing tragedy. If you feel like helping unfortunate kids in Nepal, you should do it right away. This is a great cause.

I think it is absurd to say that house fire in Nepal is worse and apartment fire in USA in not as worse. Not only these people lost their stuffs, they also had to go through some kind of trauma. 

Above two comments were meant for blingbling guy and all others who has similar opinion. Just curious to know if this blingbling guy has sent any books to unfortunate kids in Nepal? If he/she has not, I suggest he/she should do it immediately. Trust me - you will feel great no matter how small your contribution is.

Please do not post comments that will make victims feel worse than they already have ... that's all!

Just wanted to point out something to doctorbee and others who thinks paypal site does not look credible. I just went to below website:
 
http://www.help4crisis.com/houston/nepali-fire-victim/ 

 On the right had box, I see three contribution options. First and second looks to be paypal sites. Second one seems to belong to Nepalese Association of Houston paypal account. The 3rd option is to mail check to Nepalese association of Houston.

Hence, looks like you can use option that you find credible.

So, rather than arguing and pointing fingers send some contribution if you feel like it. If you don't feel like it, read a book or watch a movie and go to bed!

Thanks for the information, Nepalisajha! This is very helpful. I can't believe I didn't see the link.

O hoo!!!! without no formal news or evidence about the nepali in a fire ppl are tryin' to spread it all over and tryin' to collect the fund in this way. Nepali ho kam ta garchhan hola ni ani why paisa? Anyway nobody keeps money in house rather than keeping in a bank. If the news could be true and nepali were really caught in fire then there are so many nepali people around the world who have more critical condition.. What about them? First post the evidences and if it is really critical then this poor guy will ready to dig the money for victim. And of course many other ppl will help'em. 

This is one thing that sucks in the US. The apartments and houses are so lightweight here. I liked the houses in Nepal which are built with a solid foundation and with bricks.

Few things should be clear here.

What r the things that were destroyed. And how much money are we planning to raise ?

Doctorbee.... if you are asking for help be clear about it.....

Look at the sick mentality being shown by some nepalese here. 

see here is your problem..... you are pulling leg because you are trying to spit your frustration from other thread... which is now quiet obvious......  

Very well said arahat!

Completely agree with what you were saying.

I have already made few comments previously. Hence to summarize:

• If somebody does not feel like helping these individuals, they do not have to. Nobody is forcing them to


• Comparison between unfortunate events is not appropriate, despite of geographic location


• Yes, there are infinite number of causes in the world which may be more heart-touching than this one


• If you agree with above point, I recommend you find those causes and help whole-heartedly as much as you can


• Even if nobody helps, these individuals will be able to carry-on. This is not the end of the world for them


• Just like arahat said, please do not display sick mentality by pointing fingers at each other and by comparing

I am getting sick of some of the rude comments written in this thread. Looks like these people are writing just because they are proud of their opinion, and they may be arguing only to make the point to demonstrate that they are smart and right! I doubt if these individuals have any sympathy whatsoever for anybody except for themselves. 

Well, everybody has a right to say or think just the way they want to ... so be it. Hence I am going to keep quiet. Tired of this!

I have not seen such a rude way to ask for help. It does not make any sense to help without knowing who they are? There is not a single news on that fire incident!!!! How do we know that the incident was/is real.  Why those people want help and are hiding identity? Are they really rich or upper class family in Nepal???? Why do not ask Nepalese Association of Houston for help? They will circulate the news and information about these victims all over other nepalese association in USA. Everyone would be ready to help if other people think that they deserve for help. It is not an appropriate way to ask for help. Instead you are jeopardizing the possibility of getting help. Rest is up to you and the victims. 

blingbling, do you want to carry on with janajatis discussion? That's never ending, that's why I left What made you think I got frustrated? The irony is that you're trying to show your frustration and getting enjoyment by laughing on others pain.

@Blingbling--I dont' know the victims of the fire. I am just showing solidarity to a fellow Nepalese in their time of hardship. Isn't that what Nepalis are supposed to do? There are a few of us, and we can help our folks out, even though they may be perfectly capable of getting out of the rut. All they need is our support right now. We are a community and we need to help all sorts of people in our community.

I think that was quite a big destruction there in Texas. I think we should do whater we can to help them. I was hasitatant at first just to donate to any institution, but i think Neplease Association of Texas would be a fair place for making donation haina?? I hope no one got physically jurt in that incident.

On the x-tra note: Guys don't waste your time responding to this blingbling or dingdong, he's a "nut job". some "rebel without a clue" thing is going on with this kid with less understanding bout things and more of frustrations. Just ignore this moron, and eventually he'll dissapear. Do not respond to him, that's what i would do.
