Kathmandu. Rajkumar Dangol, who was ready to donate his kidney to save his wife, was going through a difficult situation. He was going to Kathmandu KMC Hospital for the treatment of his wife Bishnu Kumari.
Rajkumar, who was ready to give his own body parts to save his spouse, was struggling to meet the medical expenses. The prince had taken this decision without even caring about his life to save his wife.
He had raised money by asking for help from various people for his wife’s treatment. After a long effort, he was able to collect some money for the treatment, but the natural calamity hurt his hopes.
Another big crisis befell the prince when he lost the money he had collected due to the floods.
Rajkumar, who was going to the hospital with the dream of saving his wife, was confused whether he would be able to raise the necessary money for the treatment or not.
On the one hand, the responsibility of saving the life of the wife when the flood swept away money, on the other hand, the devastating flood had taken the lives of people with a huge loss of property.
He said that the devastating flood in Betrawati Bazaar not only swept away the house but also the money saved for the treatment of his ailing wife.
He said that he has collected cash and property worth about Rs 25-30 lakh, including loan loans, shop income, gold and silver and money collected by family members. He said that out of the amount set aside for the treatment of his wife, about Rs 15 lakh cash was also kept at home.
Dangol, who saw the birthplace of Bagar after the floods, said that on the one hand, he was worried about losing his village and on the other hand, he was worried about how to treat his wife.
The prince said, “On the one hand, there was the pain of the flood, on the other hand, the wife was already ill. The only thing that came to mind was how to save the wife.
“Since the Trishuli river is far below its place, I had not imagined that such a big flood would reach the bazaar,” he said.
When Dangol, who reached Trishuli in about two to two and a quarter hours, came down from the police station in Dhunge and was shocked to see that the water of Trishuli had reached there. Even the stone market was almost visible.
At that time, for the first time, a big fear entered his mind – that the money he had saved for his wife’s transplant would also be washed away by the flood.
“I was afraid that the money I had accumulated would be taken away by the flood. If all the money is lost, I will not be able to transplant the old woman,” he said.
Whatever I thought happened, all the money raised for the treatment was lost. Then the worry of saving my wife increased.
In this context, journalist Rabin Ghale heard his pain and made a video public on social media. At that time, the family did not expect to get help through social media. But after the video became public, he said that efforts were started from various quarters for help.
After the video went public, Dr. Sunil Sharma said that he has pledged to provide free kidney transplant to his wife.
He said that this has given hope to the disappointed family. According to him, the huge cost of the transplant has been saved with the help of doctors.
He said that he has also received financial support from various people while raising funds for his wife’s treatment. He said that so far, about five to seven lakh rupees have been collected and the necessary amount has been received for the treatment of his wife. After getting help for his wife’s treatment, he appealed to all to help other flood victims in his village.
According to him, many families in Betrawati area have lost their relatives, houses, property and sources of livelihood due to the floods.
He said, “Help the brothers who are suffering in my village rather than me.” He said that the problems of the flood victims will not be solved only by immediate relief.
Although the flood swept away his house and property as well as the financial base he had saved for his wife’s treatment over the years, he said that with the support of doctors, journalists, brothers of the village and various people, there is hope in the family again.
‘I don’t need a lot of help right now, I’ve got help for my treatment and transplant. Many families in the village have become homeless and without relatives,” he said.
He said that he could not even return to the village due to preparations for his wife’s transplant. He said that doctors should take special precautions to avoid infection and if there is a cold, cough or fever, the transplant may be affected.
Journalist Rabin Ghale, Dr. Sunil Sharma, Dr. Suresh Maharjan, Dr. Bijayman Singh Katwal, brothers of the village and all those who helped him.
Sharing his experience of getting help in his family’s crisis, he appealed to all to help the villagers who are now in more pain than him. He is currently engaged in the treatment of his wife with the feeling that ‘we will die together even if we die, we will live together even if we live’.
