Ailing day labourer receives wheelchair in Chapainawabganj

The Shibganj upazila unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho handed over a wheelchair to a stroke-stricken day labourer in Shibganj upazila of Chapainawabganj on Monday to restore his mobility and ease his family's prolonged hardship.

The beneficiary, Nes Mohammad, a resident of Dubli Bhandar village in Chakkirti union, had been the primary earner for his household before suffering a debilitating brain stroke several months ago. The condition left him physically incapacitated, bedridden, and entirely reliant on others for movement.

His family, constrained by severe financial distress, could neither afford medical treatment nor manage funds to purchase an essential wheelchair. His sons, who also work as day labourers, struggle to meet daily household food expenses with their meagre daily earnings.

Learning of his plight, members of Bashundhara Shuvosangho Shibganj upazila unit mobilised to arrange and present the wheelchair to him at a local handover programme on Monday.
