When I mentioned Krupa in the previous post about All Saints' Day, I realized that I forgot to finish and publish this post explaining what we chose to do with Oliver's memorial funds. Better late than never, so here it is, and it will explain more why Krupa was and is dear to me.
To those who we knew send a gift, we thanked them with a note that read as follows:
"Thank you for donating to Margham in
honor of Oliver Michael Dunham. Margham is a non-profit mission
organization that supports local pastors, churches, and orphanages in
India, and was started by Oliver's grandfather, Darrell Dunham. A
few weeks before Oliver died, a young girl who lived in a Margham
orphanage named Krupa died from complications from AIDS. We have
decided to use the gifts from Oliver's memorial to create a special
“Oliver-Krupa” fund that will be set aside and used for special
and emergency medical needs of the children in the Margham
orphanages. We feel so blessed to have had access to so many medical
resources as we cared for Oliver, and your gift will be used to help
underprivileged Indian children in medical emergencies or with
serious medical conditions. Thank you so much. To learn more about
Margham please visit www.margham.org."
I remember Krupa as a quiet but bright child who loved to dance and lead singing during the daily worship at the children's home. I know her "family" at the children's home miss her dearly, but, together with them, I look forward to dancing with her one day before our Lord's throne.
