Jaleshwar Mahato of Chitwan, Nepal was stranded in Saudi Arabia due to an unfortunate vehicle accident and his inability to pay certain amount of “Blood” money to get out of the jail. It was a large sum for the poor family of Jaleshwar. His parents, Sukaram Mahato and Malui Mahato, appealed for financial help to fulfill the court order to free Jaleshwar and bring him back to Nepal. TFA initiated a fund drive for him and collected a total of $1091.00 from its members and well-wishers. The fund, equivalent to NRs. 1,22,800.00, was provided for Jaleshwar’s release in April 2019. TFA appreciates the assistance provided by Kari Mahato in Nepal and Malati Chaudhary, New Mexico in the USA for verifying information and coordinating fund transfer. Jaleshwar was freed, and he safely returned to his parents later that year.
