MYAGDI, Dec 4: A non-governmental organization has launched a campaign to fundraise for the treatment of a seven – year – old girl reeling from a heart ailment.
The Om Kumari Shanti Trust will be collecting funds for treatment of Aranima Nepali of Beni Municipality – 2 suffering from a hollow in her heart. Nepali – a Grade 3 student at Gyanpunja Primary School at Ratnechaur locality – comes from an economically backward family. The student is currently being admitted at the Sahid Gangalal National Heart Centre in Kathmandu.
The doctors have said her heart surgery will cost Rs 450,000 and assured of a successful operation. Aranima's father, Budhe Damai, and mother, Nisha Nepali, have issued an appeal for saving their child's life.
Aranima's parents have been earning a living by doing manual work and as farmers. The amount is too much for them.
