Sapana is an eight-year-old girl from Nepal who likes going to school and playing with her friends. Her mother says she hopes she will study hard and become an “intelligent and respected person.”
Unfortunately, a simple injury has halted those plans for now. A fractured tibia is preventing Sapana from standing, walking, and attending school.
“We do not have enough money with us here for treatment,” Sapana’s mother explains. “Either we go to her father’s work place in India, where he might have saved some money, or we take loans at high rates of interest.” Sapana’s father went to India to find work after the family’s crops underperformed and couldn’t sustain the family anymore.
For just $250, we can take those options off the table and cover the cost of Sapana’s care with our medical partner, Possible, in Nepal.
