Bhaktapur
Padam was diagnosed with prostate cancer in July. The oncology team at Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center has planned 4 rounds of treatment, starting in October. He will be away from work for about 7 weeks. Padam is 40, worked as a construction supervisor until July, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him. Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center 4 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly. We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders. Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment. Where the $1,250 goes: • Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $790 • Transport to Bhaktapur Regional Medical Center: $150 • Household costs while unable to work: $310 I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support. - Bimala

  • Is there anything that isn't money that would help Padam?

    • Thank you. If you're in Bhaktapur I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Ask me anything else.

  • Hang in there, Bimala. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money

    • Rooting for you. Hope this works out for you. I'm in social work myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless

      • Take care. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't be hard on yourself for asking.

        • Thinking of you and your family, Bimala. Hope the doctors have good news. Thinking of Bhaktapur.

          • You're not alone, Bimala. Get well soon. Love from Quezon City

            • it takes guts to ask. Well done. I have a 6 year old who wants to send good wishes too.
