Meet Ganesh, a three-year-old boy from Nepal. “Ganesh lives with his grandparents, parents, and sister,” reports our medical partner, Possible. “The family has a small shop to look after, and his grandfather also works as a carpenter in the village.”
“Ganesh was playing with his little sister when a buffalo chased after them. While running away, he fell from a height of five meters and broke his right leg,” reports Possible. “The leg has been extremely painful for Ganesh since then.”
With $224 in funding, Ganesh can receive surgery to correct the fracture. This cost includes hospital admission, physiotherapy, anesthesia, x-rays, follow-up visits, and medication.
“Ganesh’s fracture will be assessed and his bones will be properly aligned and casted,” continues Possible. “In about a month’s time, with some physiotherapy, he will be able to do most of the activities that he used to do before.”
Ganesh’s father is eager for his son to recover. He tells us, “I can hear the disjoint bones when his leg moves. I really hope the doctors can treat my son.”
