Help Himal Fight His Brain Tumor

Anyone who has had the chance to meet Himal McCarthy will tell you he is the most spectacular person they have met. His joy is rapturous, his laughter inspiring, and his love of life absolutely radiates in everything he does.

This past Saturday, Himal suffered two seizures, which has led us to discover the presence of a brain tumor.

We are learning more with each day, but the good news is that we have a path forward to tackle this directly and a top tier medical team through University of California San Francisco Parnassus being assembled for surgery soon. While Himal is in great spirits amongst these insane circumstances, he is gearing up for an aggressive treatment journey, and needs all the love and support possible.

Himal is so many things, and above all else, is a giver. We thank you in advance for your support, prayers and love in this journey.

Your donation will help cover:

✅ Medical Treatments

✅ Hospital stays

✅ Specialist care

✅ Physical Therapy

Our family thanks you from the deepest depths of our hearts for your donations and for sharing this information around to your communities.

We will continue to provide updates on Himal’s journey through this page.

More about Himal:

Himal, his name meaning mountain in the Nepali language, is an adventurer. He is a true seeker of community and togetherness. He is the embodiment of love. He is the warmth of a belly deep laughter you share with loved ones, the soft moment of respite under the shade of a tree after long travels.

You may all know Himal as a cherished family member, a dear friend, the most radiant smile you received walking past him down the street, or this may be how you get to know him.

Himal is my most wonderful, loving and bright cousin. I came into the world having already known his presence, and that is a gift. He is 24 years old, and grew up in the misty embrace of Pacifica, where he was also crowned Emperor of Pacifis at the pier in Sharp Park beach. He attended UCLA for college, where his endless passion for the arts and people led him to many journeys, meeting so many new friends and learning so much about the world, loving and treasuring his connection to the earth.

Himal is many things, and most of all Himal is a supernova of all the brilliant things in this universe.- Vidha
