When a Community Comes Together, Lives Can Change !!

Even today, when many people are living more independent lives, Nepal still holds on to something very special—our strong sense of community.

In many villages, when one person suffers, the whole community stands beside them. This is one of the things we truly love about Nepal, and something we can all be proud of as Nepalis.

The story of Budhi Kumari from Pokhara shows us exactly why community matters.

Budhi Kumari comes from a very marginalized community and lives in Pokhara with her husband. All her children are married and living independently.

A few months ago, she experienced severe chest pain and visited a nearby hospital. She was given medication for four months and asked to return afterward. But her daughter was not convinced and decided to take her to a more advanced hospital for further evaluation.

There, doctors discovered a blockage in the blood vessels of her heart and told the family that she needed surgery.

For a family from a marginalized community, the cost of heart surgery was far beyond what they could afford.

But when people from her village learned about her condition, they did not stand by and watch. They came together, started raising funds, and supported her journey to Kathmandu.

With the collective support of her community, Budhi Kumari was able to come to Kathmandu and undergo the surgery she desperately needed.

Budhi Kumari belongs to the same village as our Vice President, Mr. Devendra Ghotane Gurung. After her surgery, Devendra invited Budhi Kumari and her family to our shelter, where we were able to welcome and support them.

Her story reminds us of something very simple but powerful:

When a community comes together, even the biggest challenges can become possible.

One person may not be able to save a life alone, but when many people join hands, we can give someone another chance at life.

Joining hands. Supporting one another. Saving lives.

This is the power of community.
This is the spirit of Nepal.

We know Nepal is flooded with relief materials from around the globe, and we are truly thankful to everyone who has come forward to help.

However, most of these relief materials are used by government institutions for mass rescue and treatment.

Today, we are especially thankful to a team of young, energetic volunteers, Joining Hands For A Change, who have started collecting relief materials to support small communities in flood-affected areas where their help can be truly valuable.

Thank you for making us a part of this meaningful project.

We may not be able to make a big change in everyone’s life, but our small initiatives can be incredibly valuable to those who need them the most.

We pray for the speedy recovery of those who have been injured and sincerely hope that everyone who is still missing will be found safe and returned to their families.

In this difficult time, let us come together with compassion, unity, and solidarity. Let us support one another and stand beside those affected by this tragedy. 🙏

Support for Bhotekoshi Flood Victims!!

We have reserved 10 beds for victims of today’s devastating Bhotekoshi River flood. Initial reports indicate that many people have tragically lost their lives, while hundreds have been injured.

The government has designated National Trauma Center and TUTH to provide treatment for the injured. We will soon coordinate with both hospitals and do our best to support the victims and their families during this difficult time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this tragedy. 🙏

Life is unpredictable. Sometimes, everything can change in a single moment.

For some families, the first cry of a newborn brings nothing but happiness. For Mr. Dhan Bahadur and Mrs. Laxmi, the arrival of their second child six months ago was one of the happiest moments of their lives. They dreamed of watching their little one grow, surrounded by love, laughter, and the warmth of family.

But their happiness did not last long.

Within a week, they noticed something unusual in their baby's right eye. Concerned, they took their child to the doctor, hoping it was something simple that could be treated. Instead, they received news no parent is ever prepared to hear.

The doctors diagnosed a tumor in his right eye that had been present since birth.

In that moment, their joy was replaced by fear and uncertainty. There were questions they had never imagined asking, decisions they never imagined making, and expenses they never imagined having to bear.

Mr. Dhan Bahadur is the only earning member of the family. With no other option, he had to leave the country to work and earn money for his family's survival and his child's treatment. With a heavy heart, he said goodbye to his wife and little child, leaving Laxmi to face the difficult journey ahead.

Laxmi came to Kathmandu with her baby for further treatment.

After medical evaluation, doctors made the difficult decision to remove the baby's right eye along with the tumor. The child then began chemotherapy.

For a mother, watching her tiny child go through surgery and chemotherapy is a pain that words can hardly describe. Every hospital visit, every treatment session, and every moment of uncertainty has tested Laxmi's strength. Yet she continues to stand beside her child.

For the past five months, Laxmi has been living in Kathmandu, far from home and without the support of her husband. She has spent a significant amount of money on her child's treatment. Every day brings another hospital visit, another expense, and another challenge.

Living alone in a hotel with a small child while managing treatment in a city far from home has become a tremendous burden—not only financially, but physically and emotionally.

But behind all of this is a mother who refuses to give up.

She may be tired. She may be frightened. She may not know what tomorrow will bring. But every morning, she wakes up and chooses hope.

Technology and modern medicine have changed what is possible. A condition that once might have meant losing a child's life can, with timely treatment and proper care, become a battle that can be fought. And this little child is still fighting.

His journey is not over.

Dhan Bahadur continues to work far from home, carrying the weight of his family's future on his shoulders. Laxmi continues to stay beside their child, carrying the weight of motherhood in every possible way.

They are not asking for an easy life.

They are simply hoping for a chance—for their child to complete the treatment, overcome this difficult chapter, and one day grow up healthy and happy.

Because sometimes, hope is not found in the absence of pain.

Sometimes, hope is found in a mother who keeps holding her child, even when everything around her feels uncertain.

And sometimes, a little help from others can give a family the strength to keep going.

For many middle-class families in Nepal, survival often means making one of the hardest sacrifices imaginable—leaving home to work abroad. Countries like Kuwait, Qatar, Malaysia, and other Middle Eastern nations are filled with hardworking Nepali laborers. They endure long hours, difficult conditions, and low wages, all with one dream: to provide a better future for the families they left behind.

Today, we want to share the story of 5-year-old Sadikshya from Sarlahi.

Like countless other children in Nepal, both of Sadikshya’s parents work abroad. Her mother works in Kuwait, and her father in Qatar. While they sacrificed being close to their daughter, they believed they were building a brighter future for her. Back home, Sadikshya lived with her loving grandmother. She was a cheerful little girl who loved to play, laugh, and attend her nearby school. Life seemed simple and beautiful.

But sometimes, life changes in the blink of an eye.

Two months ago, while returning home from school, Sadikshya developed a high fever. Her grandmother rushed her to the nearest health post, and after a few days the fever settled. However, something wasn’t right. She became severely constipated, cried constantly, stopped playing, and spent most of her time lying down. The energetic little girl everyone knew was slowly fading away.

Deeply worried, her grandmother took her to a nearby hospital. After several examinations, doctors suspected something far more serious and urgently referred her to Kanti Children’s Hospital in Kathmandu.

Kanti Children’s Hospital is Nepal’s only specialized government hospital dedicated to children. Every day, it is overwhelmed with young patients and worried families from every corner of the country.

After further investigations, the heartbreaking diagnosis came—Sadikshya had blood cancer.

Her treatment would require chemotherapy and frequent hospital visits, four days every week. For a family from Sarlahi, already burdened by financial struggles and with both parents working abroad, staying in Kathmandu for months was almost impossible.

Then, in the middle of their darkest days, they heard about our organization through the doctors and nurses at the hospital.

When we heard Sadikshya’s story, there was only one answer we could give.

Yes.

Today, Sadikshya and her grandmother are staying safely at our shelter. We are providing them with nursing care, nutritious meals, a safe place to stay, and the support they need throughout this difficult journey.

Cancer is a battle no child should ever have to fight alone. While we cannot take away her pain, we can stand beside her, hold her hand, and make sure her family never feels abandoned.

Please keep little Sadikshya in your thoughts and prayers. Together, we can give this brave little girl hope, strength, and a chance to smile again.

For many of us in Nepal, a simple meal at home is enough. A plate of rice, lentil soup, and a small portion of curry is what millions of families eat every day. It may not be luxurious, but it fills our stomachs and brings us comfort.

But when illness forces a family to travel to Kathmandu, everything changes.

Patients and their caregivers have no kitchen, no home-cooked meals, and no choice but to depend on hospital canteens or nearby restaurants. Even the simplest food becomes an unexpected burden.

The daily cost of basic meals for just one patient and one caregiver is approximately:

• Morning tea, biscuits, and one egg – NPR 100
• Plain rice meal for lunch – NPR 300
• Afternoon snack – NPR 140
• Plain rice meal for dinner – NPR 300

Total: NPR 840 every single day.

For families who have already sold their livestock, borrowed money, or mortgaged their land just to afford treatment, another NPR 840 every day can be the difference between buying food or buying life-saving medicine.

That is why we provide these meals free of charge at our shelter.

Every plate of rice we serve is more than just food. It is one less worry for a struggling family. It is money they can use for medicines, investigations, or the journey back home. It is hope served on a plate.

Sometimes, the greatest act of kindness is not something extraordinary. Sometimes, it is simply making sure that a patient and their caregiver do not go to bed hungry.

Your support can help us continue serving warm meals to those who need them most

A Lifetime of Strength, Now Facing His Greatest Battle

Mr. Tek, an ex-Army man from Bardiya in western Nepal, spent his entire life serving his country and caring for his family. He proudly says that he had hardly ever needed medicine throughout his life. Even after retirement, he and his wife remained active, working every day on their small farm. Their children had grown up and started families of their own, and life seemed peaceful and stable.

Then everything changed.

Six months ago, Mr. Tek noticed a small wound on one of his toes. Like many hardworking farmers, he thought it was just a minor injury that would heal with time. Instead, the wound rapidly worsened. Within days, the infection spread, and his small toe became gangrenous. At a hospital in Nepalgunj, doctors had no choice but to amputate it.

Mr. Tek believed the worst was over.

But only a month ago, another wound appeared—this time on his middle toe. Once again, it became infected and started to rot. He returned to the same hospital, spending a significant amount of money in the hope of saving his foot. After exhausting the available treatment options, the doctors finally advised him to travel to Kathmandu.

Cases like Mr. Tek’s require more than simply removing infected toes. They demand advanced investigations to identify the underlying cause. Without proper diagnosis, amputation is only a temporary solution, and the disease may continue to progress, leading to the loss of more toes—or even the entire limb. Unfortunately, many hospitals outside Kathmandu lack the specialized diagnostic facilities needed for such complex cases.

For patients like Mr. Tek, who depend on government hospitals, Kathmandu becomes their last hope.

Today, Mr. Tek is receiving treatment at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH). While doctors work to determine the exact cause of his condition, he is staying at our shelter, where our dedicated nursing team provides daily wound care, dressing changes, and the support he needs during this difficult journey.

A man who once served his nation with courage is now fighting a very different battle—one against uncertainty. We sincerely hope that with the right diagnosis, proper treatment, and the kindness of those who stand beside him, Mr. Tek will once again return home to the farm he loves and the peaceful life he worked so hard to build.

Goma’s Story:
Goma is from the far-western region of Nepal. After the death of her father, she and her mother have been living in a makeshift house. Poverty has become a part of their daily life. As if that wasn’t enough, Goma has been suffering from a very rare and extremely painful skin disease.

Several years ago, she began treatment in India. Sadly, after her father’s passing, the family could no longer afford to continue, and she had no choice but to return to her village without completing her treatment.

For years, Goma has lived with both poverty and constant pain.

When we heard her story through our volunteer, Mr. Prakash Singh, we simply could not look away. We requested Mr. Prakash to bring Goma to Kathmandu. However, bringing her here is only the first step. She needs long-term medical care and sustained financial support to give her a real chance at recovery.

We are deeply grateful to Joining Hands For A Change for accepting our request and generously committing to support Goma’s treatment financially.

Goma has now begun her treatment at KIST Medical College under the care of a plastic surgeon, a dermatologist and many other specialists. We are hopeful that the medical team will identify the root cause of her illness and provide the treatment she has been waiting for all these years.

Please keep Goma in your thoughts and prayers as she begins this difficult but hopeful journey.

“Boundaries only separate countries, not humanity.” We once read this on Facebook, and today we truly believe it.

When we first heard about Chandani, we never thought about borders or nationality. We never cared whether she was Indian or Nepali. Our only goal was to save a life and give her a chance for a better future.

Today, Chandani is doing well. In many situations, cases like hers can end in terrible and heartbreaking circumstances. But together, we did not let that happen.

This is what true humanity looks like.

We would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who played a part in this important humanitarian mission through our organization.

There are many individuals involved in this journey, and although we cannot mention every name here, please know that your kindness, generosity, and compassion have made a life-changing difference.

Thank you to everyone with big hearts and warm smiles who stood beside Chandani and helped make this possible.

Together, we proved that humanity is greater than any boundary.
