TRIGGER WARNING: SUICIDE
DHAIRYA CANCER FOUNDATION SUPPORTING CANCER PATIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES IN NEPAL When I was 18 years old, I came across a national news broadcast about a teenage boy who had taken his own life, jumping from a hospital building. He had been suffering from kidney cancer, and had left a letter to his mother mentioning that he did not want to burden his family. This news touched my heart, and a sense of inspiration grew inside me. I was determined to do something for cancer patients. However, I was confused about how I could help. I am from Nepal, a developing country where we do not generally get proper services from hospitals and there are no specific counseling centers.
