Help raise money for Shekarappa Gyanagoudar's family to deal with the financial burden after the untimely death of their son Naveen in Russia's bombing of Ukraine.

Naveen, basically from Chalageri - Haveri Dist - Karnataka, was a bright student from his childhood, secured 95% in 10th and 97% in 12th; and always aspired to be a Doctor. His parents Shekarappa and Vijayalaxmi Gyanagoudar were happy and proud about Naveen’s academic achievements and wanted to fulfil his aspirations.

Their humble background posed a challenge in paying the college fee. Nonetheless, as it is said “Difficulties should not deprive an opportunity”, his parents tried their best to meet the ends. They withdrew the only savings they had for their retirement life; they also borrowed money from relatives and friends. With this, they could send him to Ukraine to pursue a medical degree.

He studied well and also mentored his juniors and classmates and helped them deal with the stress of being away from home. He was in his last semester of college and going to start internship 3 months later.

Naveen was ever thankful to his parents and promised to pay all the loans once he completed his education and found a job. Shekarappa and Vijayalaxmi had already anticipated Naveen working in a hospital and saving lives soon.
But fate had its say in a way which no one ever imagined. The Ukraine-Russian war began. People took shelter in bunkers and so did Naveen. As they were running out of essentials, one early morning Naveen got out of the bunker to buy some food, water and medicines. There was a bombing in the area, resulting in Naveen’s unfortunate death(on 1st Mar 2022) shattering Shekarappa and Vijayalaxmi for life.

Today Naveen’s parents have lost their son and all the savings they had for life. They need to pay back the debts. Therefore, to support Naveen's parents kindly donate generously.

Wars of nations are fought to change maps. But wars of poverty are fought to map change. Please help us in bringing a small change in Shekarappa’s life.

As a friend of Shekarappa's family, I am raising the money. And all the funds will directly be deposited to Naveen's father, Shekarappa Gyanagoudar's account.

Om Shanti.,
