A Big Tragedy of an Indian Student

Hi friends, I am Divya Gannamani, raising a GoFundMe in support of my deceased friend's family, Bhavani Bojja, an international student. In the depths of despair, we find ourselves confronted with the heart-wrenching tragedy of a young life lost. Bhavani Bojja, a 23-year-old student studying at the University of Central Missouri, silently battled against the relentless weight of depression. Despite her struggles, Bhavani was unable to share her burdens with others. Today, we gather in compassion and empathy to raise funds with the aim of bringing Bhavani's body back to her cherished home country of India. In the face of adversity, we can unite to provide solace and support to her grieving family in Tamil Nadu.

Bhavani was a gentle soul, an introvert who kept her feelings locked away, shielding her pain from the world. Hailing from Tamil Nadu, she was raised in a single-parent family, along with her mother and younger sister. Her family's health issues and their poor financial background created a heavy burden for Bhavani, exacerbating the trauma she endured.

Bhavani's battle with depression took a tragic turn when she succumbed to her inner demons. The weight of her mother's deteriorating health added to her distress, pushing her to the breaking point. We were devastated to learn that Bhavani's life ended prematurely, leaving her family heartbroken and grieving their loss.

Bhavani was found face down in the waters near Standley Lake in Westminster on June 1st. Prompt action from witnesses led to a park ranger responding swiftly to the scene, pulling her from the water and initiating CPR. Despite these valiant efforts, Bhavani's condition remained critical, and she tragically passed away during her hospital treatment. As we mourn her untimely departure, we must extend our compassion to her grieving family, who now bear the weight of their own health challenges.

Today, we embark on a mission of love and support, striving to bring Bhavani back to the embrace of her beloved Tamil Nadu. Our goal is to raise the necessary funds to arrange for the repatriation of her body, allowing her family to find solace and closure during this immensely difficult time.

Your contribution holds the power to provide a glimmer of hope in the darkest of times. No act of giving is too small, as every donation will make a difference in fulfilling Bhavani's final wish—to be reunited with her family in Tamil Nadu. Together, we can ease the financial burden on her grieving loved ones, ensuring that Bhavani's journey home is marked with dignity and respect.

Beyond the physical act of bringing Bhavani home, this endeavor represents a profound journey of healing and compassion. It is an opportunity for us to honor Bhavani's memory, uplift her grieving family, and shed light on the challenges faced by individuals burdened with depression and the strains of a poor family background. Let us join hands in unity, transforming this tragic loss into a testament of empathy, understanding, and the unwavering strength of the human spirit.

Bhavani Bojja's departure has left an indelible void in our hearts, a void that cannot be filled. However, through our collective efforts and generosity, we can bring solace to her grieving family and honor her memory. Let us stand together, united in our compassion and resolve, as we restore hope and support the journey of Bhavani's body back to her beloved Tamil Nadu. Together, we can offer comfort, love, and the promise of a brighter tomorrow.
