Day 34: Funded a Doctor Providing Lifesaving Medical Treatments Through Samahope



One Smile Every Day | I'm on a mission to make someone smile every day this year by completing acts of kindness | Day 34: Funded a Doctor Providing Lifesaving Medical Treatments Through Samahope



I was deeply touched and moved when I heard about Samahope, a crowdfunding platform that allows people to donate directly to doctors providing lifesaving medical treatments in sub-Saharan Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. I decided to fund Dr. Shankar Rai who is raising money to fund burn repair treatments in Kathmandu, Nepal. Patients suffering from burns without care can develop severe disabilities as the burn injuries heal and create contractures (scar tissue).  Funding is needed to provide 50 burn repair treatments, each costing $550. Take some time to review the amazing work of Dr. Rai and his colleagues at www.samahope.org :)
