In Wake of the Quake –100% of Nepal Shawl Purchases to Disaster Relief

In Wake of the Quake – Giving back 100% of Nepal Shawl Purchases to Disaster Relief

Over 6,000 people have died since the Nepal earthquake on April 25th 2015 — among the lost lives was a friend and fellow crusader of compassion, Dan Fredinburg –who was trekking Mount Everest at the time.

 My heart aches for the aftermath of the Nepal Quake.
  • There are 3 million people in need of food aid.
  • 130,000 homes have been destroyed
  • 415 million needed for humanitarian relief
We could wake up tomorrow and be faced with the same kind of nightmare. Your home, your neighborhood, your community, your life, your loves….just a pile of debris. Your prayers would in a second become the same as the victims of Nepal. No place is immune from natural disasters.

We have teamed up with Givebackpacker, Derek Smith in efforts to make a difference in the lives and communities that are struggling from this recent earthquake. While Derek was traveling around Nepal this April the Neupane Family whom reside in the tiny village of Karmidanda in Rasuwa district of Nepal opened their home and hearts to him.

The quake has crumbled the life they have worked so hard to build. Derek purchased an array of handmade colorful shawls from his journey through India and has now donated the beautiful shawls to our givebackpackers global online marketplace to help raise funding for this emergency.

Each shawl is delicate and has either an OM, a Ganesh or a Buddha design on them.
They can be worn around the head, around the neck as a scarf, shoulders as a shawl or draped like a sari as pictured here.
They are so soft and comfortable but the best part is you will know your purchase went to help those in need.

We are giving back 100% of your purchase of our #NepalShawls line to the Neupane Family to aid rebuilding their home. Learn more about how personally impactful your purchase is on their gofundme page.

 The power is in your hands.

           I was so inspired by the loving words of Sophia Bush, the Ex-Girlfriend of Dan Fredinburg and Chicago P.D. star. She encouraged her 1.5 million followers to “Please tell those you love that you do,” she wrote, “Right now. This very minute. And please send a kiss to the sky for my friend Dan.”

What a thoughtful reminder to outwardly treasure your friends and family. Expressing love to the ones you hold dear cannot wait… life is too precious and unpredictable. Here is her beautiful depiction of Dan Fredinburg:

“Dan Fredinburg was one-of-a-kind. Fearless. Funny. A dancing robot who liked to ride dinosaurs and chase the sun and envision a better future for the world. His brain knew how to build it. His heart was constantly evolving to push himself to make it so. He was one of my favorite human beings on Earth. He was one of the great loves of my life. He was one of my truest friends. He was an incredible brother, a brilliant engineer, and a damn good man. I’m devastated and simultaneously so deeply grateful to have known and loved him, and to have counted him as one of my tribe.”
