Society of Nepalese in America

Ms. Rabina Poudel, a resident of Ward No. 13, Baglung Municipality, Gandaki Province, Nepal, who came to pursue a Master's Degree in Public Health at New Haven University (UNH) on a student visa, had great hopes, aspirations, and dreams of a bright future.

On September 29, 2024, While walking on the crosswalk near the University, at West Haven, after a driver in one lane signaled her to cross, she was unexpectedly struck by an unknown vehicle coming from second lane, resulting in a fatal accident with severe injuries with deeper wounds in vertebra and pelvic areas. She underwent three major surgeries. She is currently receiving treatment at the Yale Hospital.

Given the extremely fragile physical and mental condition of Ms. Rabina Poudel, and the challenging circumstances surrounding her medical care, transportation, housing, and studies, she is facing a critical situation. Therefore, we kindly appeal to all helping hands to provide financial contributions. Thank you so much for your kind cooperation.
