This is Ujjala. She loves school and works hard. But while collecting firewood for her family, she fell out of a tree and broke her left arm. The break is preventing her from doing her normal activities, like cooking, cleaning, washing clothes, and attending school.
“Ujjala studies in Class 2, and likes to go to the school as she can be around with friends and learn new things,” our hospital partner writes. Her family farms, but they own very little land, so her older brother goes to work in India every year for wage labor. Even with this, they barely make ends meet.
To fix her arm, Ujjala needs to have a cast applied after a reduction procedure. This will allow her arm to heal, giving her relief from the pain she’s experiencing and making her able to go back to school. The treatment costs $205, which is out of the reach of Ujjala’s family. Let’s pitch in so she can continue her studies!
