Meet Lokendra, a one-year-old boy from Nepal who loves playing with his four siblings and the rest of the children in the neighborhood.
One day, while he was playing outside, Lokendra fell down, fracturing his left humerus. “After the incident, he has experienced swelling in his left elbow region, rendering him unable to move his arm easily. He has also been having problems sleeping,” our medical partner, Possible, tells us.
Lokendra’s family owns a small plot of land, but the produce is only enough for three months out of the year. His father also works as a wage laborer in India to save money, but that is still not enough to cover his son’s surgery. “We have to earn a lot of money to take him to big cities or to India for treatment. We are in a very difficult situation,” explains Lokendra’s brother.
For only $205, we can help ease the worries of this family and ensure this baby does not develop a long-term deformity. Let’s get to work, Watsi!
