Kamala is a 40-year-old woman from Nepal.
Kamala had gone in the jungle to cut firewood for cooking when the branch of the tree snapped and she ended up with a fractured right hand. Not only has her hand swollen considerably but it looks deformed and is tender. It has also been so painful that Kamala has been taking painkillers to make it subside.
Kamal is supported by her son and daughter-in-law. She enjoys working in the field and looking after her cattle. Her husband works in India to make ends meet back home.
“I am in a lot of pain. We have travelled for two days to reach the hospital and I cannot tolerate this pain anymore,” said Kamala.
Treatment for Kamala’s fracture will cost $579. After treatment, Kamala’s fractured bones will be aligned correct and secured with the help of pins to ensure it heals well.

Kamala received surgery to treat her fractured hand.
Kamala’s fractured bones were aligned correct and secured. Post surgery, Kamala will experience some pain, but that pain will be controlled with medication. Kamala will be in bed rest for at least two months and she will have to do physiotherapy exercise to regain mobility. Within two months she will regain most of her mobility back. This is a crucial time for Kamala; she needs to do all her physiotherapy exercises even though it may cause some pain initially as she needs to work in the field.
“I am at peace now. I know it will take time for me to regain mobility but it’s encouraging to see my family be a rock of support at my time of need,” said Kamala.
