Help Basudev's Medical Recovery from Tragic Accident

Hello friends and kind-hearted souls,

I am Asmita Kunwar and I come to you today with a heavy heart to share the story of my brother’s best friend, Basudev Panthi, a young man whose life was turned upside down in the blink of an eye. This story is not just about Basudev but about his entire family, a family now facing unimaginable pain and uncertainty. Basudev, at just 26 years old, had dreams, responsibilities, and a promising future. He was the only son in his family, with two loving sisters who looked up to him, and he was preparing to be married soon.

But on a regular day on his way to work in Nepal, Basudev’s life changed forever. A truck struck him, crushing both his legs below the waist. This devastating accident not only shattered his body but has left his family facing unbearable heartbreak. He was rushed to Norvic Hospital in Kathmandu, where doctors had to make the difficult decision to amputate his left leg below the knee to save his life. His right leg, too, remains in critical condition and requires multiple surgeries just to give him a chance to walk again someday.

Basudev’s father, a modest police officer, is utterly broken. When I spoke to him, he could barely speak through his tears. His voice trembled, filled with a sorrow no parent should ever have to bear. He couldn’t even look at me; his heartbreak is too great, his sorrow too deep. Basudev’s mother, a homemaker, now faces the unthinkable reality of seeing her only son suffer, his future so uncertain. One of Basudev’s sisters is married, and the other is still in school, their hearts aching with worry for their beloved brother.

This family’s dreams have been shattered. Basudev, the main breadwinner of the family, is now lying in a hospital bed, his life hanging in the balance, his future uncertain. The wedding that was meant to take place in a few months has now become a distant memory, replaced by the harsh reality of surgeries, rehabilitation, and the fight for his survival.

The medical expenses are staggering. Basudev’s treatment is expected to cost over AUD $60,000, with at least 6-7 surgeries needed. The trucking association has offered a small amount, and while insurance may cover some portion, it is nowhere near enough to cover the full costs of his surgeries, medical care, and rehabilitation. His family, already carrying so much emotional weight, is now burdened with financial challenges they can’t bear alone.
