Mr.
Pawaneswar Shrestha, age 39, like many of us, came to the United States
to pursue higher education in 2005.  Despite being an accomplished
cultural artist and music video producer, Mr. Pawaneswar Shrestha left
Nepal in his quest to gain higher education and to provide for his
family.  He completed his Masters' Degree from StrayerUniversity and
joined the work force in 2008.

As
faith took its turn, Mr. Pawaneswar Shrestha was diagnosed with lung
cancer in late 2008 after series of medical tests at Fairfax Inova,
Virginia.  Despite all the hardship that was going on in his life, he
never revealed to others about the difficulties to his friends and
colleagues to avoid burden and pain to others.  Pawaneswar is a good
man and a model citizen.  His hallmark is his humility, co-operative
and can do attitude.  He continues to display these trades even at
these desperate times, as he battles this deadly disease with
unequivocal determination.

Recognition
of the importance of society, culture, and welfare of the Nepalese
community runs deep in Mr. Pawaneswar Shrestha's family. Mrs. Sunita
Rajbhadari Shrestha, spouse of Mr. Pawaneswar, who only recently was
united with Mr. Pawaneswar Shrestha in the United States, is equally
active volunteering for the community. Shlesha Shrestha (age 8),
daughter of Mr. Pawaneswar Shrestha, is no push around when it comes to
show casing her own talents.  She has participated in many cultural
programs in the DC metro area too.  This beautiful family is going
through hard times with mounting medical expenses and financial
hardships.

We
call upon all Nepalese communities to help Mrs. Sunita Rajbhandari
Shrestha and Shlesha Shrestha in any way possible - financially and
morally - to help them through these difficult times. Mr. Pawaneswar
Shrestha is currently in ICU of Inova Hospital in Fairfax, Virginia and
fighting for his life.
