Dinesh is a 15-year-old boy in 9th grade from Jumla, Kanaka, Nepal. He has one older brother and an older sister. His mom is a farmer and his dad is a teacher.
.
When he started having pain in his joints, his parents took him to a local clinic for a checkup. Then for about a week it was fine, but afterward he started aching more. They went back to the local clinic. Eventually it started aching throughout his body so about a month ago he was diagnosed at his local hospital in Jumla with a type of acute blood cancer.
.
He is currently being treated at Bhaktapur Cancer Hospital. We will be supporting him and his parents with housing and food in Leo’s Kids Flats, as well as providing a portion of his treatment as needed.

Please join us in welcoming Dinesh and his family to Leo’s Kids Flats.
