Dammar is a 30-year-old farmer from Nepal. He supports his wife and children through his agricultural efforts. As a seasonal migrant worker, he spends a large amount of time in India working and sending his earnings home to support his family.
Nearly a month ago, Dammar began to develop an abscess on his left leg. An abscess is a collection of pus that has built up within the tissue of the body. Abscesses can become inflamed and painful. If left untreated, they can lead to infection of the surrounding tissue. Dammar has been unable to walk or even sleep as a result of his abscess.
Dammar tried to heal the abscess with herbal medicine, but his condition did not improve. When he visited our medical partner, Possible, physicians examined his leg and recommended wound care. Dammar’s treatment is set to begin on April 10. Possible is requesting $157.
Dammar says, “My leg gives me trouble. I can’t walk freely. I hope it will be all right.”
