Nepal is in pain again…
After days of heavy rain, our country is once again suffering. Roads are blocked, villages are cut off, and floods and landslides have caused devastation everywhere. Many lives have been lost in accidents and disasters. Yet, there is a small light of hope — unlike before, this time our government authorities have acted quickly and wisely, saving many lives through timely rescue and relief efforts.
Let’s all stay safe, stay alert, and look out for one another.
If you know anyone who needs medical shelter during this difficult time, please let us know — we are here to help.
Now, let’s share the story of little Dhiren, a 3-month-old baby from Kailali.
Dhiren’s parents, Yogesh and Ranjita, got married just last year. Though life has been full of struggles, they’ve always found happiness in being together. Yogesh works in a brick factory, while Ranjita takes care of their small home with love and hope for a better tomorrow.
Three months ago, their joy doubled when baby Dhiren was born. But only 28 days after his birth, Dhiren developed a high fever. They rushed him to a nearby hospital, but the doctors couldn’t identify his condition. They were told to take him all the way to Kathmandu — home to Nepal’s only children’s hospital.
After several tests, the doctors discovered that 50% of Dhiren’s liver has blood clots, and surgery is required. Because he is so small, the operation is risky, and doctors must proceed with extreme care. Days have turned into weeks, and weeks into months, as they wait for the right moment for surgery.
Waiting is difficult mentally as well financially. Kathmandu is not a cheap city. Yogesh rented a small room in the slum area near the hospital, paying a high price. Covering rent, food, and hospital expenses has now become almost impossible for them.
But fate brought a ray of hope — their neighbor knew journalist Prakash Singh, who shared their story with us. After verifying their situation, we found that everything was true — this young family is genuinely struggling and needs our support.
Now, they are with us, and we’re doing everything we can to help.
Let’s all pray that baby Dhiren recovers soon, and that Yogesh can see his son healthy again, free from pain and worry.
