Help Rinji get gastric surgery
Hi, my name is Denise Dowst. I had the good fortune to climb to Everest base camp in October 2019. I did this hike with my best friend Donna. The two of us had amazing luck to be matched with our wonderful guide Rinji. Perhaps some of you have also had the good fortune to be guided on the mountain by Rinji. He is such a kind, helpful and humble man. Covid has been very difficult on all of the guides. However Rinji has also come down with some medical issues that require surgery. He has a gastric fistula that requires surgery to repair. Since he has been unable to guide hikes on the mountain in the last year and a half he does not have the money for the surgery and associated expenses. I am raising the money as well as contributing so that Rinji can get the surgery and recover. I know you don’t know me but please put your trust in me that any money donated will go directly to Rinji and his medical expenses.
