"Ravi Kant Sharma, a journalist working in Canada, was on assignment in the United States when tragedy struck. Now admitted to the Los Angeles Medical Center, Sharma's critical condition necessitates immediate transfer to Canada due to his insurance coverage being in that country. However, the lack of resources and support has left Sharma and his family in a dire situation," Swami Paul Ji Maharaj explained.

With Sharma's life hanging in the balance, the plea for assistance has gained "urgency and significance," he added.
