“I was hoping the wound would heal after some medication. Unfortunately, I’ve now come to a stage where my leg will have to be amputated,” says 48-year-old Krishna from Nepal.
Our medical partner in Nepal, Possible, explains: “Krishna has had diabetes for a very long time. Two years ago, he developed a wound on his foot and got it treated. However, he developed another wound. Hoping it would heal on its own, Krishna did not seek medical help until the infection became severe. Now, not only does the leg hurt and Krishna needs a wheelchair to move around, but the wound gives off a stench that makes it uneasy for Krishna himself and his family to look after him.”
$579 funds the amputation procedure for Krishna that Krishna needs to heal.
“The infection in Krishna’s wound is too severe and is spreading up and above his leg. Amputating the foot will not only save Krishna’s body from infection but he will also be free of pain,” adds Possible.
Let’s help fund this important treatment for Krishna.
