“Just as Nandi was going to bed, there was no electricity so she could not see properly in the dark,” shares our medical partner in Nepal, Possible. “She tripped and ended up fracturing her hand. Nandi has not slept well because of the pain and her hand has swelled considerably.”
Nandi is a 70-year-old woman living in Nepal. She lives with her son’s family and her four grandchildren. Her daughter-in-law looks after their farm and her son works in India, but is currently at home to ensure his mother’s health improves.
Nandi needs advanced orthopedic surgery to repair the fracture in her right hand. This treatment costs $224, and will help her bones align correctly and heal well. Possible says, “In about a month’s time, with some physiotherapy, she can go back to doing the activities she used to do before.”
“I hope the doctors can fix my mother’s hand, because I cannot afford the treatment,” Nandi’s son adds.
Let’s help make Nandi’s treatment possible.
