Terisa Tamang, Psychosocial Counselor at Bir Hospital, Founder, President and Counselor of Dhairya Cancer Foundation, shared on LinkedIn:
“Every meaningful journey begins with a single step.
Today, I experienced a moment that I will always remember.
Through Dhairya Cancer Foundation, we were able to provide our first financial assistance to a child battling blood cancer.
When I founded the organization, I dreamed of creating a place where families facing cancer would not have to face every challenge alone.
This support may be one contribution, but for us, it represents the beginning of something much bigger.
I am deeply grateful to Mingmar Sherpa, Jangbu Sherpa (USA), and Ongchhu Sherpa (USA) for making this possible through their generosity and trust.
Working with children and families affected by cancer has taught me that healing extends beyond medical treatment. Financial hardship often becomes another burden they carry. While we cannot solve every challenge, we can stand beside them and remind them that they are not alone.
This is only the beginning. I hope this first step grows into a sustainable program that supports many more children and families battling cancer in the years ahead.
Thank you to everyone who believes in our mission and continues to walk this journey with us.”
