I live in Sudala of Hugdishir, Bareng rural municipality-2 of Baglung. Now I am 50 years old. I am making a living by sewing clothes. I am spending my days in tears.

Before my disability, I was able to provide for my family even though I had to earn wages. Four years ago, after being struck by lightning, the family became angry. 

One day, the inside of the left heel hurt when I stumbled while walking. I didn't care at first . After many days of pain, when he went to Butwal for treatment, the doctor said that the ligament was torn and plastered it. The doctor sent him saying that he will recover soon. After two weeks, when the bandage was opened, the leg was rotten. After that, when Sakinasaki reached Butwal, he was referred to the mission hospital in Palpa, stating that there was no treatment there. By the time the treatment process started, the infection had spread to the ankle. Mission Hospital said to have to amputate below the knee . Diabetes is increased when there is an infection in the feet. Because the doctor plastered the wound without testing for diabetes, I realized only after a long time that the infection had been added . By the time I realized the leg was amputated . 

Since he became disabled, he has been added to the house. Concerned that Mrs. Harimaya passed away due to heart attack two years ago . After that, not only did I lose my foot, but the branch I was holding on to was also broken . The dream of teaching and raising children by yourself has been shattered . And I have sent my daughter to be educated at my mother-in-law's house in Shantipur, Gulmi. Son has reached India for work. Now I am alone at home . It is not known when the children's earnings will be received.  To treat the

, I took 900,000 rin from the local savings group and moneylender. Even if you have paid 4 lakhs so far, how will you repay the remaining 5 lakh rupees? This worry does not sleep . After becoming unable to work abroad, I have taken up the sewing profession to save the house and medical expenses. Seeing my situation, some organizations have also provided financial support.

The Rural Health Improvement Project has bought Baisakhi and given . Gave money to buy sewing machine . After informing about disability, the village council is going to give an identity card . Then you will get some allowance?

I need a prosthetic leg. It costs more than 250,000. I can't buy a prosthetic leg with the money I earn from sewing clothes . Even sewing clothes like in the market is not possible in village houses . I sew one/two pieces of clothes daily. Earning as much as 15,000 a month for sewing regular clothes.

I earn only 5/7 thousand a month during rainy season . 10,000 rupees are spent on food and house expenses . I save about 5 thousand a month . I save savings in the local cooperative so that I can wear artificial legs in the future. 

When will people be free from old problems? With that in mind, I started sewing. Physical condition does not dare to become a professional . For me, evening-morning cooking has become difficult. You have to sleep hungry on the days you can't cook. 

If you go to Palpa for treatment when you have an infection in your feet, it costs 2 thousand rupees. I go to Palpa once every three/four months. In that way, treatment costs about 25,000 once. And the money spent on artificial legs can be spent on treatment.

Even now, I have to take medicine worth 2 thousand 300 rupees monthly. However, due to lack of money, he has not been able to take regular medicine for four months. Throwing vinegar on the wound causes unbearable pain. At that time, you should stop sewing and rest. You should leave work and run for treatment.
