On-screen text
Our hearts are heavy as we
witness the devastating flood
affecting Nepal.
The news coming from Nepal has shaken
us deeply. While our brand is based in
New York City, Nepal is the foundation of
our story. It is where we were born and
raised, where many of our families still
live, and where nearly 80% of our
talented women artisans behind our
brand resides.
The devastating flood has shaken our
entire team. Some of our team members
families and communities have been
directly affected, and we are carrying
their fear, pain, and uncertainty with us.
This is not simply a tragedy we are
watching through a screen. This is our
home. These are our people. Our hearts
are with everyone who has lost a loved
one, everyone waiting for news, and
everyone whose home and livelihood
have been taken away.
Right now, we ask for nothing except
your prayers.
Please pray for those who lost their lives,
for those who are still missing, for the
injured, for the families waiting
desperately for news, and for the rescue
workers risking everything to save others.
Please pray not only for our team and
their families, but for all of Nepal.
