An eight-year-old boy in the U.S. has raised over $26,000 through crowdfunding to aid victims of the devastating 7.9 earthquake that hit Nepal.
After learning about the April 25 quake, Neev Saraf from Maryland asked his parents, who hail from Nepal, if he could send some money from his piggy bank there.
But it was not long before Neev enhanced his ambitions even further and set out to contact his friends and family to see if they would donate as well.
They reached out to the American Nepal Medical Foundation, with whom a crowdfunding page was set up to expand Neev’s philanthropic reach.
“Nepal where my family spent their childhood and is their motherland cries for help and support from everyone who can help out,” Neev wrote on the website Crowdrise.
