Suvir’s Song of Love
On June 23rd 2017, our little Suvir was born. Today, he would have turned 3 years old. Happy birthday my dear Angel!
Each year on his birthday, we attempt to do our part by helping organizations that helped us tremendously during our time of need. This has been one way for us to not only celebrate his birthday but also his life. We are also fortunate and grateful to be surrounded by friends and family who have been part of previous celebrations and continue to support us in doing so. And still more people have been asking how they can help. So I thought that this year, in Suvir’s memory, I will open this celebration up to a larger group.
One of the things that made Suvir smile was music. He loved all kinds of tunes…from nursery rhymes to pop music. So when we heard of an organization called Songs of Love Foundation, we thought it would be a nice touch to have a song created just for him.
The Songs of Love Foundation is a nonprofit organization that creates free, personalized, original songs to uplift children and teens currently facing tough medical, physical or emotional challenges. Each “song of love” is professionally produced with lyrics containing the child’s name and references to all of his or her favorite activities, things and people.
The immediate needs of children who go through serious medical and physical challenges are often overlooked. For instance, imagine how special an eight year old child undergoing chemotherapy and battling for his or her life would feel when they hear a song made just for them! It’s empowering and uplifting to have a complete stranger pause their life and dedicate some time to not just think of you but write a song and sing it for you.
Suvir’s song of love is attached to this post. Songs of Love acquired details from us about Suvir like his favorite rhyme (twinkle twinkle little star), his favorite thing to do (bath time) and his brother’s name which the song writer creatively placed into the lyrics. They put genuine thought and care into their compositions and a beautiful song as a result of this effort gets delivered to the child without any cost to the parent or caregiver.
While Suvir is no longer around to enjoy it, we certainly cherish it and find strength through it. This year, we want to do the same for other children and their families. It costs $250 to produce one original Song of Love. It is delivered in a personalized box, complete with a lyric booklet and the child’s name on it. So, in honor of Suvir’s 3rd birthday, we are looking to raise funds to produce unique, personalized songs for 10 children with a goal of raising $2500. The following link provides us means to “sponsor a child” or in this case ten.

We hope you’re able to assist us in meeting this goal. If so, please forward your contribution to my Venmo account @Neesha85. The donation will be made in memory of Suvir. Once Songs of Love completes each song, they will send a copy to me and I will be happy to share those details with you if you like.
Thank you!
