Dear Sajha friends,

One of our members - happyhappy - has brought forward a very heart wrenching case of Kritika Paudel, a 12 year old girl fighting for her life in Biratnagar. [View Original Thread]

She has been diagnosed with early stage of blood cancer, needing new blood transfusion every 15 days until she can get a bone marrow transplant which costs 40 to 50 lakhs. The parents do not have that kind of money and they are appealing for help from public to save their daughter's life.

More details are available in facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/Help-Kritika-to-fight-with-her-LIFE/674289415968311 which is opened by her relative.

Please donate using the following link:

Technical Detail of Fundraiser
I have set up a fundraising option using gofundme.com which charges 7.9% plus 30 cents per transaction.

The finances needed for Kritika is exorbitant, but I am sure every little amount helps so please open your hearts and wallets to make a donation that counts.

It's great to see helping hands. More than $1000 was raised just in a single day. If the same rate continues, the goal of $5000 should be reached withing a week. Let's hope so. And thanks San for making this happen!

So far, we have reached only 46%.
Achieving 100% seems like bit hectic.
Any appropriate idea to expedite and to achieve 100%?

mercynova, san bro or Subhasini,
Any kind of information on Kritika? How is the kid doing? Just my curiosity.

$2,970 in 14 days.
Target is $5000.  
Probably, 45 to 60 days in the earliest if we could reach the target.

Updates as per our conversation:

They have started off with the treatment - with ATG (it think its atg but if you guys need the actual term, I will let you know soon) and see how things would go...

As far as their financial status is concerned, they have opted loan and are looking for other means of support...

They will wait for the result (might take about 3 mos ) on whether they need to do a bone marrow transplant or not...

As far as her (kritika's) health is concerned, she is doing fine now. the initial treatment might have been harsh on her body, she seems to be doing fine now, though they would still be in the hospital for a couple of days more..

Their expenses per day is about Nrs. 50,000.. which is a huge amount of money, and I hope we would be able to donate atleast $5000, out of the entire expenses they have! I will be meeting Kritika and her parents sometime soon(tmr or day after), for more information.

P.S. San dai could you forward me the email you've been talking about, or loop me in it, along with the list of info needed!! I will be meeting them soon, will be collecting the required docs as mentioned in the list...

Thanks
Mercy

Dear All,

Thanks to everyone for their generous contributions to the Kritika Fundraiser. This week will be the last week for any contributions. I am hoping to be able to have the fund handed over to Kritika within 2 weeks or so.

Mercynova, thanks for keeping track of things in Nepal. You have been a great help and your help is greatly appreciated!

Best Wishes
San

On June 3rd, 2014, a bank transfer was initiated for $3,565.97

There was additional transfer fee of $45 accessed by bank which was paid for by sajha.com.

The receiving bank  - Siddhartha Bank Nepal charged $25 so a total of $3,540.97 was received at the exchange rate of Rs. 94.75 per dollar.

A total of Rs. 335,506.91was received in Ktm.

The last tally of Gofundme payments on June 3rd was $3701, from which a fee of $335.03 was deducted so the final raised on June 3rd was $ 3365.97

To the $3365.97 raised, sajha.com added $200 to make a total of $3565.97

Sajha.com contribution = $200 + $45 (bank transfer fee) = $245

On June 6th, another payment was received for $30, which after $2.67 transaction fee was deducted added $27.33 but since the transfer had already been made, it was absorbed within the $245 sajha.com contribution, hence the final sajha.com contribution was
$245 - $27.33 = $ 217.67

Gofundme shows a total raised of $3701 + $30 = $3731

A check was drawn in Kritika's name for Rs. 335,507.00 was handed to Kritika and her parents this morning.









There was some delay in handing the checks since Kritika lives in Biratnagar and we had to coordinate their arrival in Kathmandu. Special thanks to Subhasini Shrestha for communicating and coordinating with Kritika's family, and special thanks to Pratik Pradhan for coordinating the transfer of check to the Paudel family.

Thanks to everyone from chipping in and helping out someone in need. It is these things that makes it worthwhile to be a part of sajha.

Thanks again!
