A bit more background…..The Shalini Maripuri Foundation continues the legacy of Shalini and further the values that she dedicated herself to in her later years. Shalini was born a «natural» at pleasing others and taking care of those in need. She consistently went out of her way to ensure that those in pain and hardship were cared for. Further more, she cared for others who were not able to take care of their children. She gave back to the community whether it be through church or directly to causes that she truly believed in. Once her kids, Sahil and Sway, left for college she further immersed herself into community activities. Over the last 10 years, Shalini passionately supported several such activities that inspired the Foundation. They include:• Caring for underprivileged children in need of food, healthcare and education in the community. While she supported local needs in the Southern NH and Massachusetts area, she also drove efforts to support children in India and the Far East. • Supporting families with kids who may have come into tough times and in need of assistance • Driving support for St. Judes and MS research for children• Enabling efforts towards the care and feeding of school aged children in poverty stricken areas of India and the Far East. • Facilitating numerous other efforts by dedication time and money towards taking care of fellow women and children in need of assistance of all types including driving cancer patients to and from Southern NH to hospitals in Boston. • Sponsoring churches and forums in countries such as China and Singapore where she would offer her time and financial support for such causes during her various international travels. Shalini truly touched thousands of lives around the globe during her 49 years. It is tragic that she could not benefit from any preventative testing to diagnose and reduce her risk for heart disease. With her passing, the Maripuri family and friends are determined to amplify Shalini’s legacy and continue to give back to the community. Given her sudden cause of death, they will support the funding of efforts that drive heart disease preventative measures for women. How can you support the Shalini Maripuri Foundation?
