Kathmandu, Feb. 26: Some generous people have come forward to put up the money needed for the treatment of Deepak Puri, a 13-year-old boy from Pipaldanda VDC, Sindhupalchowk district who is suffering from some actuarial disease.

A number of individuals and social service organisations contacted the National News Agency (RSS) to show interest in sponsoring treatment of the boy following dissemination of a news item about his plight despatched by its district reporter and published in different newspapers. The boy had been unable to receive the needed surgical treatment for lack of the requisite Rs. 15,000.

Some people are also said to have gotten in touch with the boy’s family.

Ratna Children’s Trust has shown readiness to extend full cooperation for the treatment and has asked all persons and organisations interested in extending support to contact its office at Bhrikuti Mandap, phone No. 227959.
