“I earnestly wish for her to have no complications because of this in the future,” shares the father of Manisha, a 13-year-old girl living in Nepal. While playing at school, Manisha was hit with a rock and was left with an open wound and a fracture in her right leg.
Right now, it is too painful for Manisha to use her right leg and she needs help completing even basic tasks. As a result, Manisha had to be carried on her father’s back for two hours to reach our medical partner, Possible.
While Manisha’s parents work in the field, Manisha helps out around the house by looking after cattle and babysitting her younger brother. Although Manisha’s parents work hard, they cannot afford the $579 that would pay for Manisha’s treatment.
With your help, Manisha’s bones will be “aligned correctly and secured with the help of pins. Her open wound will also be stitched close,” Possible shares.

Manisha received successful treatment for her fractured leg.
“Manisha’s fractured bones were aligned correctly and secured,” shares our medical partner, Possible. “Post surgery, Manisha will experience some pain but it will be under control with medication. Because Manisha has multiple injuries, she will be in bed rest for at least two weeks. For her fractured leg, she will have to do physiotherapy exercise to regain mobility. She cannot put the pressure of her weight on the fractured leg for one month.”
“In the 2nd month she will learn to hold partial weight on the injured leg,” Possible continues. “Within two months she will regain most of her mobility back. Because Manisha is still young, this is a crucial time for her; she needs to do all of her physiotherapy exercises even though it may cause some pain initially.”
“Manisha is keen to return home and be with the family,” her father shares. “All of us will encourage her to exercise regularly.”
