Santosh is a ten-year-old boy from Nepal.
Recently, he was playing with his friends when he stumbled on a stone and fell down, fracturing his left hand. Since then, he has been in a lot of pain and has had to take medications to control the pain. There is some swelling, and he has difficulty moving the injured arm. Due to his injury, he needs help with everyday tasks, such as eating, bathing, and getting dressed.
In order to seek medical treatment, Santosh and his father took a two-hour jeep ride to reach our medical partner's care center, Bayalpata Hospital. The hospital recommended surgery, which is scheduled for February 15.
Santosh's father is a carpenter, and his mother tends to the farm and grazes cattle. However, they are unable to raise the funds for the treatment. For this reason, our medical partner, Possible, is requesting $195 to fund the surgery.
