“It all happened right in front of my eyes—he was just passing the baggage, and he fell down,” Gowinda’s father explains about his son’s accident. Gowinda is a 17-year-old tenth-grade student who lives in Nepal.
“Gowinda was unloading luggage from a bus when he lost his balance and fractured his right wrist,” explains our medical partner, Possible. “He has been in pain since then, and the area of injury has swollen, too.”
Gowinda and his parents support themselves by farming, but the food that they grow sustains them for only seven months of the year. This makes paying for additional expenses, such as medical care, challenging.
For $224, “Gowinda’s fractured bones will be aligned, and a cast will be put on to ensure it heals well,” says Possible. Funding also pays for an overnight hospital stay, X-rays, physiotherapy, and cast removal after his wrist has healed.
Let’s help fund this important treatment for Gowinda!

Gowinda received successful treatment for his fractured wrist.
“I’m glad Gowinda got his treatment immediately,” his father shares. “I wish him well and that he gets his normalcy back in life, soon.” With his broken wrist, Gowinda couldn’t carry on with his normal life and was in significant pain.
To ensure he heals properly, “Gowinda will have to be careful as to not lift heavy weight with his injured arm,” our medical partner, Possible, shares. “Within a month’s time his bones will have healed and his cast will be off.” After his cast is removed, Gowinda will have to continue with physiotherapy exercises in order to regain full mobility. However, he is expected to make a full recovery.
