Support Farooq Shaik's Family in Their Time of Grief

Hello, my name is Sai Dixit Pabba, and I am writing this on behalf of my dear friend, Farooq Shaik.

It is with profound sadness that we share the heartbreaking news of Farooq’s passing. On August 30th, 2024, Farooq was traveling from Dallas to Bentonville when a devastating Multi-vehicle crash accident occurred. A pick-up truck collided with slow-moving traffic, and Farooq’s car was the first to be struck. The impact caused a fire that engulfed the vehicle, tragically taking the lives of all four passengers, including Farooq. This horrific incident happened in Anna, Texas, around 3:32 PM.

We are starting this GoFundMe to raise support for Farooq’s family—his parents, who live in India, and his sister. They are facing unimaginable grief and pain as they come to terms with this overwhelming loss. As they navigate this incredibly difficult time, we want to come together to support them with ongoing care and financial assistance.

Farooq was a remarkable person who touched the lives of everyone who knew him. He graduated from the University of Texas at Dallas in May 2023, where he was the head of our Data Science Club. Farooq was always there to lend a hand, whether it was to guide a fellow student or to offer support to those around him. He had big dreams, clear goals, and a bright future ahead. To those of us who had the privilege of knowing him, Farooq was more than a friend—he was like a brother.

In honoring Farooq’s memory, we hope to provide financial support for his family during this difficult time. Your donations will help:

• Support the well-being and care of Farooq’s parents as they cope with this tragedy

• Assist with his sister’s tuition fees

• Celebrate and preserve Farooq’s legacy

Every contribution, no matter how small, will make a difference. Your love, generosity, and support will provide comfort to Farooq’s family as they navigate this painful journey. Thank you for helping us honor Farooq’s life and for standing by his family during this unimaginable time.
