When Bisoya Loitongbam read an SOS message in a WhatsApp group about a Manipur teen from an economically weak family, who needed surgery in Delhi to remove 30 metal pellets lodged in his shoulder, she immediately decided to help.

But there was one problem - the cost of the surgery was unknown, and other details like who will accompany the teen, and where will they stay were sketchy.
Kishan, 17, was shot with a pellet gun from point-blank range by the police during a massive protest by students in the state capital Imphal in September 2023 against the killing of a girl and a man from the Meitei community, allegedly by Kuki insurgents in the hills.
