Nisha's a rare sarcoma treatment fund
Nisha is facing a rare sarcoma and the cost of treatment, travel and care at home is far beyond what the family can cover.

Nisha was diagnosed with a rare sarcoma in September. The oncology team at Pokhara Regional Medical Center has planned 10 rounds of treatment, starting in December. She will be away from work for about 3 weeks.
Nisha is 25, worked as a hairdresser until September, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after her.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Pokhara 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 her shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,600 goes:
• Scans and lab work: $115
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $1,150
• Transport to Pokhara Regional Medical Center: $75
• Household costs while unable to work: $260
I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.

can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Pokhara.
Thank you. If you're in Pokhara I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks, that means a lot.
So sorry you're going through this. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Thinking of Pokhara
Wishing Nisha a smooth procedure and a full recovery.
take care, Binod. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Edinburgh so I could bring a meal. Blessings.
Sending love, Binod. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Quezon City this morning. Greetings from Quezon City
sending strength. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Thinking of Pokhara.
