“We do not have other income so that we can pay for her treatment,” shares Bhawana’s uncle. “We have to take loans and then work for no salary if we are to treat her. What will we eat then?”
Nine-year-old Bhawana attends third grade at her local public school in Nepal and has a fractured elbow.
When she is not at school, Bhawana watches over cattle as they graze.
“Bhawana had gone to look after the cattle when she fell down on a narrow trail on the hill slope,” report our medical partners at Possible. “She immediately developed pain and swelling in her left elbow region. She is unable to move her arm since then.”
For $205, we can fund fracture repair surgery for Bhawana’s elbow. Following surgery, Bhawana should be able to use her arm again without pain, and resume helping her family with the household chores. Let’s help Bhawana return to school free from pain so that she can play with her friends again!
