Tek is a 10-year-old boy from Nepal. Recently, Tek slipped and fractured his wrist while drinking water from a tap close to his house.
Since the accident, Tek has had trouble moving around and has not been able to do basic activities such as bathing, changing clothes, and getting up out of bed without help from his family. Our medical partner, Possible, shares that it is painful for Tek to use his left hand. Tek has also been unable to go to school since his injury.
Tek and his family work hard as farmers, and Tek helps by taking the cattle to graze in the field. With a limited income, Tek’s family cannot afford the treatment that would align Tek’s bones correctly.
For $579, Tek will receive the treatment and casting that he needs to get back to school and helping his family out in the fields. “I hope that his treatment happens soon so that we can go back home and he is free of pain,” shares Tek’s Uncle.
Let’s help make Tek’s full recovery possible.
