Ten-year-old Bikash lives with his family in Nepal. “Bikash studies in the first standard,” our medical partner, Possible, tells us. “He loves studying English and riding his bicycle. His dad works in India and his mom looks after the family at home.” “Bikash was riding his bicycle with his friends when they lost their balance and tripped,” explains Possible. “While his friend did not suffer much injury, Bikash ended up fracturing his left arm. The area of injury has swollen considerably and Bikash has been in constant pain.” The injury is now interfering with Bikash’s studies. “He had his exam today, and he missed it because of his injury,” his mother tells us. “I hope he’s allowed to sit for it later, otherwise he will miss one whole year." To help the arm heal, doctors have recommended Bikash have surgery to realign the fractured bones into their normal positions. Doctors will make an incision to set the bones properly and then use wires and metal hardware to secure the bones in that correct position. Bikash’s arm will be sewed up and placed in a cast while it heals. $579 will provide for the pre-operative care, surgical costs, hospital stay, and medicines. After a few weeks of healing time, Bikash will be able to use his arm again without pain. He will be able to participate in all of his favorite activities, ride his bike, and go to school without delay.
