In Gratitude
StoryBridge Nepal extends heartfelt thanks to the Aut family for their generous $10,000 donation in 2024, given in loving memory of Jeremiah Aut’s father.
This meaningful gift helped support the earliest startup costs connected to StoryBridge Nepal’s development and made possible important groundwork that continues to shape the program today.
We are deeply grateful for this act of remembrance, generosity, and belief in the power of education, storytelling, cultural connection, and long-term community partnership.
A father’s memory.
A family’s devotion.
A legacy carried forward.
A Story of Care, Strength, and Family
Jeremiah’s father passed away in October 2016 after living for years with life-changing injuries sustained in a tragic accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down.
For more than four years, Jeremiah helped provide his father with continuous care at home. That long period of devotion reflects extraordinary family commitment, perseverance, and love.
The Aut family’s later gift to StoryBridge was given in his father’s memory. Although we do not have a photograph of him to share on this page, his life and legacy are honored through the generosity that now supports new opportunities for education and human connection.
How the Gift Helped StoryBridge Grow
The Aut family’s contribution arrived during a formative period and helped move StoryBridge Nepal from vision toward careful research, relationship-building, and implementation.
Program Startup Support
The donation helped cover early startup expenses connected to developing StoryBridge Nepal’s current program model and foundational planning.
Site Investigation in Nepal
Funds supported a site investigation in Nepal in February 2026, helping confirm relationships, program locations, logistics, and future feasibility.
Creative Public Outreach
A portion of the gift helped purchase two Mystery Print vending machines designed to introduce new audiences to StoryBridge through affordable art and storytelling.
A Legacy That Continues Forward
The Aut family’s gift helped strengthen the earliest phases of planning, travel, local coordination, and public outreach.
Its impact is not limited to one expense or one moment. It has become part of StoryBridge Nepal’s living foundation—a gesture of faith in the work and in the communities the program seeks to connect.
2027 Book Dedication
In recognition of this generosity, Shree Gyan Mandir Model Secondary School in Chautara plans to include a dedication in its 2027 published book honoring the Aut family and the memory of Jeremiah’s father.
The tribute will acknowledge the family’s contribution and the role it played in helping StoryBridge Nepal move forward during an important developmental stage.
Carrying Care into Meaningful Impact
The Aut family’s support was rooted in care, perseverance, and a belief that creativity and human connection can create meaningful change.
We are grateful for the opportunity to honor that spirit by continuing to build educational pathways connecting people and communities across cultures.

StoryBridge Nepal is deeply grateful to the Aut family for helping bring this work to life at a crucial early stage.
