Six-year-old Dipak, who recently started school in Nepal, was playing with his friends when he broke one of the bones in his right elbow. Our medical partner, Possible, explains, “Dipak was playing with his buddies, climbing onto a friend's back. But suddenly, the friend lost his balance, and Dipak came tumbling down and fell onto the ground. His elbow bone was broken.” Dipak’s family immediately took him to a nearby hospital for treatment, but the hospital was not equipped to provide the care he needed. “The only option was to take him to a hospital several hours away,” shares Dipak’s father. “Besides the transportation, lodging, and food costs, it would have cost us a fortune for the operation itself. It would be a huge setback, as we can’t afford that kind of money right now.” For $579, Dipak will undergo surgery to set and cast his broken bone so that it will heal properly. Funding also pays for four nights in the hospital, X-rays, physiotherapy, medicine to relieve pain and prevent infection, and cast removal after his elbow has healed. “After the treatment, Dipak will be attend school again, something he has been looking forward to,” Possible tells us. Let’s help make that happen!
