The Angels humbly inspire you to open yourself to the less fortunate For in donating our time & possessions we receive more For in recognizing the power within us we reduce our losses and grief For in giving of ourselves we become stronger & richer Tanya knew of this from almost since she was born |
Mom's house in India had been locked up
for 2 1/2 years. She fretted about its condition while unable to travel during COVID times. Anju took her mother over from the US to clean up the house. Never been involved with white washing as far as she can remember.
10 long days of hard work and shouldering a lot that made her mother relieved.
Tanya as I remember her, has always been wise beyond her
years..
A very thoughtful grand daughter, loving daughter &
an amazingly supportive sister. A kind hearted, wise soul

I continue to stay in touch with sick and elderly
friends. I call and send cards. Additionally, I give to several charities.

Yesterday morning our cook cum maids daughter
turned up instead of our maid due to an emergency at home. I soon realized she
had not eaten anything. I was trying to make breakfast for myself. So I
prepared a poached egg and toast and offered to the girl who looked happy
afterwards! It was so satisfying and made me feel happy.
I also fixed an appointment with a doctor for our maid's elder daughter, who was suffering and offered to take them to the doctor. Hope she gets well soon.

I
found a college prep program that guarantees 4 year college tuition for my
aides daughter. I filled out application and she got in. I’m thrilled.
I help my snow bird neighbors manage their apartment by doing their mail and inspecting their apartment.

This year I
dedicated my time to help a close friends‘ family friend find a job after
seeing that this person was highly talented, sort of concerned about losing
self confidence and was so devistated of market situation here; but due to the
50+ issue found it difficult to reposition in the marketplace…Through ongoing
coaching and reviews together this individual here landed a job which offered
growth and utilizes the individual talent < To grow happy in your
profession, one needs both sides happy at the table>. I was asked what do I
want in return…I said remember and pay it forward in service for someone else
who loses hope in this tough market….
We provide many Thanksgiving meals for the homeless and
needy through our church. We will be honored to do it in Tanya's memory.
In Tanya's memory I have given in charity to veterans and hungry children at our store.
To spread Tanya’s kind and love for humanity, donated to a charity in Tanya’s name that will provide a warm Thanksgiving meal and shelter to 18. Tanya, your memory lingers in my heart
Donated to Jessica D'Amico 's 25 burpee challenge for the Cancer Society of America, and shared her challenge on my timeline.
In life Tanya aspired to be a physician so that she could heal the sick and help those who suffered. Cancer was her focus from the time she was in high school. She did a cancer research project in high school at the Robert Wood Johnson hospital which was recognized and awarded by researchers there. She worked in cancer research at the Koch institute of MIT. A paper she co-authored was recognized as groundbreaking, in that it found common pathways to several forms of cancer. Her picture still hangs in the institute as an inspiration to researchers. Thus, as her father, I make this donation in her name, so that it makes it possible for us to ease the suffering of those who suffer from this dreaded disease.

Greg and Diana’s act of kindness consisted of donating
various food items to a local pantry during the winter holidays
Ishani Sandesara
And here is another lifetime of dedication of the most difficult kind in kindness and giving....
Ishani is a pediatric palliative care doctor. A harder job
one cannot imagine. Her life is a dedication to kindness and an ode to all that
is both tough and good all at once. Thank you Ishani for courageously carrying
the torch.

My husband and I find joy in helping those less fortunate by distributing clothes to destitute ladies being looked after by the R.K. Mission..
The most fun moment was when we catered lunch
to the orphans of Mother Teresa's orphanage and spent a whole day with them.
The tiny tots insisted that we join them for lunch. Believe me, they were so
happy that when we got ready to leave them, they held on tightly to us ,
refusing to let us go. We waited till they were tucked into their litter beds
for their. afternoon siesta before leaving.
The experience cost us. so little but the
difference it made to the little ones was seen on each little face. It was one
of the. most satisfying moments for us,
