Suman is a seven-year old boy from Nepal. He studies in first standard and stays in the dorms at his school. Being the youngest in the family, Suman is well taken care of, especially when he comes home on his vacations. While his father works in the Nepal Army to support the family, his mother tends to the farm to keep the family going.
Suman was playing ‘Kabaddi’ with his friends when he stumbled on a stone and fell down, fracturing his right elbow. He has been in a lot pain since and has been crying and even had to take medication to control the pain. He has difficulty moving the injured arm and there is some swelling too. To seek medical treatment, Suman and his mother took a four hour jeep ride to reach the hospital.
Because of his fractured elbow, Suman needs help with his everyday work like eating, bathing and dressing up and is forced to miss school too. For $541, Suman will receive corrective treatment for his fractured elbow that will reduce the pain and increase his mobility.
“We have come from very far, I hope Suman’s treatment is successful,” shares Suman’s mother.
