Tharindu Perera, a beloved member of the Staten Island, NY community, passed away yesterday, leaving friends and family in deep sorrow. At just 29, Tharindu was known for his warmth and compassion, touching the lives of everyone he met.
In the wake of this tragic loss, a fundraiser has been organized by Shehan Gomez with the goal of raising $10,000 to bring Tharindu’s body back to Sri Lanka, fulfilling his family’s wish to hold final rites in his homeland. The expenses associated with repatriation and funeral arrangements are substantial, and the community is rallying together to make this possible.
As of now, $1,675 has been raised through the generosity of seven donors, including contributions from individuals like Shirley Ananda and Sharmaine Khan. Every donation, regardless of size, is a significant step toward bringing peace to Tharindu’s family, who are deeply appreciative of the support.
For those able to help, contributions are welcome, as is sharing the fundraiser to reach others who may wish to contribute.
Our hearts go out to Tharindu’s family and friends in this time of sorrow. May they find comfort, and may Tharindu rest in peace.
