Struggling family receives food, cash aid in Manikganj

The Harirampur upazila unit of Bashundhara Shuvosangho has extended food items and financial assistance to the distressed family of Bedena Sarkar in Harirampur, Manikganj, after her husband lost his sole source of income in a road accident.

Members of the organisation visited Bedena’s residence at Kalai village under Gala union on Thursday afternoon to hand over the relief materials and cash support.

The family fell into severe financial hardship after Bedena’s husband, a rickshaw-puller, broke his leg in a recent road crash, leaving them without an earning member as she also cares for a son with intellectual disabilities.

The relief package included rice, lentils, cooking oil, salt, puffed rice, onions, green chillies, turmeric and chilli powders, potatoes, and chicken, alongside soap, laundry detergent, and cash assistance.

Expressing gratitude upon receiving the aid, Bedena Sarkar said the family had been struggling to survive with no alternative source of income following her husband’s injury. "Receiving these food supplies is a huge relief; at least we will not have to worry about meals for the next several days," she said.
