This is to inform you that one of our close friends Venkat Nookapeyya came to the Northern Virginia from UK just two months ago on a work visa.He went to visit his friend and fell ill.He was tragically diagnosed with Meningitis (Infection of the brain coverings) and was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit at Chesapeake General Hospital,Virginia on March 7th.His condition had progressively worsened and he finally passed away this morning the March 27^th. 

Please note that Venkat comes from a poor family.He has a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical Engineering from CBIT (Osmania University, Hyderabad).  He struggled very hard to come this far and hoped that he would make a career and thus support his family. He was a hardworking, sincere, very helpful and down to the earth person. His father works for RTC as conductor. He is the eldest one in his family with two unmarried sisters and younger brother.  His father took loans from various sources to send him to US in the hope of Venkat’s earnings will him to get married his daughters.  But unfortunate disease separated Venkat from his family.

We are moving his body to Hyderabad, A.P,India so that his parents and family members can have their last look. It would be very expensive to get this taken care of. So we request you one and all to provide assistance with your generous donations.Any remaining proceeds from this collection would  go towards helping his family. He has his old parents and younger sister who needs help.
