Vivek Bhandari's Struggle: Battling Rare Spinal Cord Disease and Financial Hardship

Kathmandu. Time, luck, and willpower. These three things have special meaning in every ups and downs and climbs and descents of life. In the life of Vivek Bhandari of Rautahat Chandrapur, these three things have supported him at different turns and also left him. When time supported him, luck became alien, and when both time and luck were gone, willpower stood as the strongest pillar. In his current situation, willpower is his closest companion.

Vivek, 40, needs to be recapped from four years ago. After a long time in the teaching profession, when he did not achieve the financial progress he desired in life, a few months after getting married, he left his wife Shashi Rajbhandari in Kathmandu and headed to the UAE. His wife used to teach at the primary level in a private school in Kathmandu. Vivek, who was earning a decent income in the UAE, found that work was not as expected in the company when the COVID pandemic spread globally. He returned to Nepal. But a few months after returning to Nepal, while staying at home, his legs stopped moving, and his back started to hurt unbearably.
