Medical Emergency!!!! Help needed.
I got a call from an American family who lives in Idaho that a Nepali girl (19 year old freshman in Moscow, Idaho) has been diagnosed with a cancerous tumor. This family lived in Nepal for years and are close to the Nepali students there.
The girl's family knows that their daughter has cancer, but doesn't know that within the last few days, she has been taken to Seattle for checkup, and a cure is very possible. She will be in the hospital going through cemo and surgery, with insurance covering her medical expenses, for a total of six months. Everyone she knows has been trying to find a person with a satellite phone to call her home. They need to fly her mom to Seattle from Nepal ASAP to take care of her following surgery.
I tried calling people I knew with no luck finding someone who has access to a satellite phone. I am worried about the safety of my family in Nepal, but will wait out until the phone lines open up. However, this girl cannot. This is an emergency. Please please reply to this thread if you know anyone in Nepal with a satellite phone, and we will arrange details on getting her to call home.
