For Azgar - a good human being
Donation protected
In September this year, I lost two people I cared for. One was my grand mother (Ajji). She was 81 and she left this world in a split second, without as much giving us a chance to reach her in time.
Second was Azgar. I wish to dwell upon him a little more with a purpose in my heart.
He was 30-something, I guess, and was our go-to driver. More than a driver, he was family. He was family because he was a part of our every family celebration, because he would have his food with us, after all the guests were taken care of, because he looked after Ajji and mom like how we would do, because I could hand over my purse to him and go into the visa office without thinking for a second, because we could count on him. Because he was always there for us.
He was good man, because he never complained. He was a very humble man because he was happy with what he received. He was a great man because he liked to help.
He was so great that he died helping two people from drowning in a well.
He died because the people standing around were so busy trying to see if the teenager he just saved was dead or not, that they forgot the saviour was still inside.
He died, leaving his 8-month old daughter and a young wife with no one to take care of them.
The last time I met him was when he picked me up from the airport, when I travelled to Hyderabad when gradma passed away. September 21. It was comforting to see that he is still the same person we knew. That he made our life a little easy.
I came back to US after two weeks, only to hear the news that he is no more.
His life was short. Very short. But in the time he was here, he left an indelible impact on us. Two thousand people attended his funeral and around 1000 were strangers that he had touched in some way.
Please help me help his family the way he would have wanted to. Our idea is to raise enough money, so his little daughter can get decent education, like how he would have planned. The money collected would be released to them, at appropriate times, for the sole purpose of her education.
His family needs to believe that there is still humanity left in the world and that he didnt give up his life for nothing.
Please donate how much ever you can. Thank you very much.
