Please Help Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund

Dear all,

We are very shocked to hear the tragic news of the loss of thousands of peoples’ lives and property damage due to the devastating and massive earthquake in Nepal. It was measured at 7.8 on the Richter scale and hit Kathmandu valley and surrounding areas at 11:56 AM on Saturday, April 25, 2015. A series of powerful aftershocks followed, some measuring over 6 on the Richter scale, several times in Kathmandu and mainly east of Kathmandu. Officials have said the death toll could exceed 10,000 and there are many injured. Rescue operations are being conducted and relief support has been sent generously from all over the world. Major historical landmarks were damaged or destroyed, avalanches occurred on Mount Everest area; many are still missing and a state of emergency has been declared by the Government.

In response, all Chicagoland social organizations have united together and formed a fund raising committee to help Nepal. We request all social organizations, officials, media and individuals to support the cause, donating as we request below and spreading the word to others. Your small donation will make a big differences in Nepal. Collected fund will be delivered to the Nepal as soon as possible and the donation list will be announced publicly on this page and elsewhere. We are a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt non-profit organization and your donation is fully tax deductible to the extent of IRS tax code.

Members of the core committee with contact information follows. This committee will be the main administrative decision making body for the fund.
