Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani

Bhagwan Nathumal Karnani was an amazing man. He was one of seven children and grew up to be an electrical engineer. Later on, he decided to become a teacher. Bhagwan worked very hard, progressed in his career and did well in life. Over the years, his health started to hold him back. And in July of 2018, he was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis

The disease progressed very rapidly, soon requiring him to need oxygen 24 hours a day – destroying his way of life. In the last few years of his life, he could not walk 20 feet without gasping for breath and would have coughing bouts that were so strong he would turn blue in the face.

Throughout his life Bhagwan bestowed a love of learning and education, striving for a better future. Inspired by the life he led and the passion of his family to make an impact for the future of those living with pulmonary fibrosis we hope you’ll join in honoring Bhagwan’s life.  

All proceeds go towards:

• Finding effective treatments and a cure for pulmonary fibrosis
• Advocating for the pulmonary fibrosis community
• Promoting disease awareness
• Providing a compassionate environment for patients and their families

Please donate and together we can help those living with pulmonary fibrosis and the families of those we have lost. All donations are tax-deductible and every dollar raised goes to help support the mission of the Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

If you cannot make a donation at this time, please forward this e-mail and link to everyone you know. Post this on your Facebook and Twitter pages. Every donation counts, no matter what the amount.

The loss of a loved one is devastating. Yet, we are always reminded by our hearts – how lucky we have been to know those that we love even in our loss.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated.
