Thank you for your generosity. God bless you

Hello, My name is Bosco Fernandes and I find myself needing to raise funds for my 13 year old son, Shounak. In order to continue to support his athletic training, Sports Membership,music education and daily needs.

A few months ago we lost our best friend, beloved wife and loving mother, Sujata Celina Fernandes to Covid19 whilst in India.

I have been looking after Shounak's daily training as a full time sport/tennis coach while Sujata Celina was our main income earner, albeit modest earnings. My wife supported the lion's share of the family expenses as a travel booking agent with a company that allowed her to work online while we lived in India. Sadly, when Sujata Celina passed, we learned that her Life Insurance could not be renewed in 2020 due to financial situation, as the travel industry faced many challenges during Covid19

On May 12, 2021, our Sujata Celina passed away after fighting her illness for nineteen days with an immeasurable amount of courage. She was so positive that she would be returning home that she only pointed out the washing machine instructions minutes before walking to the waiting ambulance in our apartment's lobby below.

Upon her passing, so many things have had to be cut short, mainly Shounak's outstation and overseas Tennis training to places like Ottawa, Toronto, Pune, Chennai, Ahmedabad to name a few, with various National & International level coaches, his regular fitness and conditioning program which included Swimming, Football (soccer) and also on his Grade 7 Online studies from Bengaluru India

After much thought, time, and friends' repeated suggestion, I have stepped forward to create a GoFundme page. These funds will help support the important work of continuing my son's Piano classes, swimming lessons and High Performance Junior Development which includes traveling to nationwide tournaments, tennis camps around the country and hopefully, the return to Shounak's home schooling which would allow him the time and structure to train as an elite athlete.

Thank you so much for your time in reading our story, and consideration of a donation. Shounak is a wonderful child and truly dedicated to all what he does. Shounak and I are truly grateful for, and appreciative of, your kindness and generosity.

Humbly yours,

Bosco Fernandes
