Terisa Tamang: This moment reminded me why I founded Dhairya Cancer Foundation
Terisa Tamang, Founder, President and Counselor of Dhairya Cancer Foundation, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“During one of my regular rounds at the hospital as a psychosocial counselor, I met a young cancer warrior who surprised us all—he eagerly reached for art materials right in the middle of his chemotherapy session.
What he created wasn’t just a picture. It was a reflection of his hospital journey and his dreams for the future. Through drawing, he found a voice when words failed, a moment of peace in the midst of pain, and a way to regain a little control over his world.
This moment reminded me why I founded Dhairya Cancer Foundation—to offer more than just support, but hope, dignity, and healing for the mind and soul, not just the body.
Art gave him more than something to do. It gave him a sense of self, a sense of safety, and a smile we’ll never forget.
Grateful to witness these moments where true healing begins.”
Terisa Tamang shared a touching story from her work as a psychosocial counselor, illustrating how art can provide emotional healing for young cancer patients. The moment reinforced her mission at Dhairya Cancer Foundation to support holistic care that addresses the mind and spirit.
