Just popping in to give an update on my friend TJ.
A court date has now been set with a judge and jury for next February. Needless to say, he still has rent to pay groceries to buy and other living expenses as well as lawyer fees. i am BEGGING you, if you can please donate to his fund, every little bit helps. he needs to have an extremity painful tooth removed as well, and thats approx $400.00
every little bit will count. thank you so much for all the prayers and emails people have sent. he really appreciates them, he is pretty depressed and actually feels bad for the guy that hit him and tried to rob him! he has been an exemplary
citizen never once doing anything against the law and has been 100% forth coming with the authorities with all their questions.
so if you can find it in your heart to donate to Tejeshwar campaign, we all would greatly appreciate it. and he would feel over the mood, knowing that there are great Canadians out here that want to help and make a difference.
I'm reaching out on behalf of my dear friend Tejeshwar Kalia, who has recently faced an incredibly unjust situation. Tej was innocently going for work doing his night shift, simply working at a local convenience store, when he was suddenly attacked by an assailant. Amidst the chaos of the assault, Tej defended himself, only to find that he would be wrongfully accused and charged with aggravated assault.
Tej is a kind-hearted individual who has always been there for others in times of need. He has never hesitated to lend a helping hand or offer support to those around him. Now, it's our turn to step up and support him in his time of need.
Legal battles are not only emotionally draining, but also financially burdensome. Tej is facing significant crisis for his living expenses and legal fees to clear his name and seek justice. He shouldn't have to face this alone. That's why I'm reaching out to our community for help.
See below this humble request for your assistance.
I come before you today with a story of resilience and unity in the face of adversity. Just a short while ago, while working the night shift at Circle K in downtown Peterborough, I found myself in a harrowing situation. A person attempted to threaten and rob me, unleashing a torrent of violence upon me, leaving me with three painful blows to my head and spine.
In the desperate act of self-defense, I fought back, resulting in my current legal situation. These charges have placed an immense financial burden upon me, leaving me unable to work and with depleted savings.
However, amidst this darkness, the light of our community shines brightly. The people of Peterborough rallied around me in ways I never could have imagined. From offering words of encouragement to providing tangible support, your unwavering solidarity gave me strength in my darkest hour. With your help, I was able to secure bail from the court, allowing me to navigate these turbulent waters with a semblance of hope.
Not only am I grateful for the support I've received, but I am also humbled by the kindness and generosity of this community. These experiences have reinforced my belief in the inherent goodness of people and the power of collective action.
I understand that times are tough for many, and asking for help is never easy. However, I firmly believe that by coming together as a community, we can overcome any challenge. Your contribution, no matter how small, will make a significant difference in my ability to receive a fair trial and seek justice.
I assure you that any funds raised will be used solely for my living, Education, and legal expenses. As, I was not able to work for months due to the legal issues and constraints. Ensuring transparency and accountability every step of the way. Your support will not only provide me with the means to defend myself but also restore my faith in humanity during these trying times.
Please consider donating to my crowdfunding campaign and sharing it with your networks. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that everyone has access to the legal representation they deserve.
Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and unwavering support.

You deserve better !! Best of luck
Good luck
May Christ walk with and bless you during this time of hardship. God knows what it's like to be betrayed by a country's legal system, and He also knows how to utterly defeat it. Pray to Him for strength, perseverance, wisdom, and grace in face of the kangaroo justice the Peterborough legal system is attacking you with - when God decides to help a person out, He does it with no half-measures!
Stand tall. Rise above this judicial bullying
