Purpose of this page

This page has one main purpose:

To support Ngima's family as much as possible by raising money. They are absolutely stuck at the end of a road and there is not turning back nor exit ... No future, no dreams, no help, no perspectives. Let's make a difference! 
Let's crowdfund! Many people + small or big amounts = big difference!


As we all know, life is not fair. Especially not when destiny chooses the less fortune ones who have a hard life already. What happend in this story, taking place in Nepal, is by far worse than we can imagine...

Ngima Grimen Sherpa's family has lost an important family member. He was the one who had a good (but risky) job as a mountain guide and by doing so he supported his whole family: Parents, Siblings, wife, two very young daughters. All were depended on him (due to the lack of work in their region and he was the one with a good job). In his area, it is practically impossible to get a job since there are none.

Now, the financial support is broken from one second to the other and his family is facing enormous financial problems.

For example:
1. How should they now buy food, shoes or clothes?
2. How should they be able to pay for electricity, for doctors, for medicine, for transportation etc.?
3. How should they be able to pay the older daughter's school fee (and later for the other one also) ?
4. How should they be able to pay for their childrens education and neccesary school material?
5. Who will now bring in the money?
6. How can they make money themselves? What do they have to grow on their farming land they can sell (we are now not talking about if anyone wants to buy their harvest since everybody has one farming land ... )?

Many more questions remain unsolved.

Of course, I know that you probably have never met Ngima. That is a pitty indeed. However, when reading through these pages, I hope you can feel how determined I am and how important your help is. Let's do without a pack of zigarettes, booze, Coke or whatever to the benefit of this family. We can survive if we gave up something for a few days and invest the amount saved in this donation. But they cannot live without your support!
Please help Ngima Grimen Sherpa's family to overcome this cruel destiny! Even a small donation would make a big different for Ngima's family. If we all just give a little, this family can also have a future. Right now, they are stuck at the end of the road with no turning back ...

A small donation would be truly appreciated!
