I, Sangeetha Govindarajan, sister of Karthigai Priya Govindarajan, stand before you to share the devastating news of the unexpected passing of Kalaiarasu Mani (age 47), my brother-in-law. Affectionately known as Kalai, he was not just a loving husband but a devoted father to two sons, aged 15 and 6, and a dear friend to many. Besides the family, he also extended his love to the community, actively volunteering in organizations like TMM (Tamil Makkal Mandram) and TNF (TamilNadu Foundation), leaving an indelible mark on the lives he touched.

The objective of this fundraiser is to secure the University tuition money for his two young sons to enable their stable future. The family is currently navigating the complexities of this situation we kindly request your support.

On the morning of February 3rd, Kalai suffered a sudden and massive heart attack. Despite the swift response of medical professionals, he did not respond to their efforts, and he was tragically declared dead. The shock of Kalai's sudden death has left a void that cannot be easily filled. As the family is trying to come to terms with this heartbreaking situation, and also face the challenges that come with the sudden departure of their source of emotional support.

Your contributions to the Kalaiarasu Mani Memorial Fund will not only ease their financial burdens but also serve as a testament to the strength of our community bonds. Thank you for your generosity, compassion, and support. No donation is too small, and every act of kindness will help them rebuild their lives and carry forward.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Sangeetha Govindarajan
