Madaripur District BNP Joint Convener Sajjad Hossain Siddiqui Lavlu, along with Bashundhara Shuvosangho Shibchar Unit members has presented cash and a wheelchair to a physically ill and challenged child in Shibchar Upazila of Madaripur.
On Saturday morning, the Shibchar branch of Bashundhara Shuvosangho handed over the wheelchair to 10-year-old Kawsar, son of Md Enayet Mollah of Hajipur area in Panchchar union.
Relatives said Kawsar lost a leg after surgery in Dhaka when he fell sick at three months old. Since then, he has suffered from kidney, liver, and other complex diseases.
His condition has now left him physically disabled and unable to move normally. The family cannot afford treatment due to financial hardship, which has put the child’s life at risk.
After hearing about Kawsar, Lavlu sent his younger brother, Sadat Hossain Siddiqui Nasru Mia, to deliver the cash and wheelchair on his behalf.
Kawsar and his family expressed joy after receiving the wheelchair. They said they felt grateful to Lablu and Bashundhara Shuvosangho.
Kawsar’s father Enayet Mollah said the wheelchair was essential for his son and he felt very happy after receiving it. He supports his three children by pulling a rickshaw van and struggles to survive.
He stated his son can now move with the wheelchair and he prayed for everyone, asking Allah to shower his mercy on them.
Lavlu said service to people drives his politics and he has worked selflessly for the underprivileged for many years and vowed to continue. He promised to always support the welfare activities of Shuvosangho.
Bashundhara Shuvosangho Shibchar unit Adviser Abul Khayer Khan, President Ekhlas Uddin Chunnu, Vice Presidents Imtiaz Ahmed, Zahidul Islam, and Sarowar Hossain, General Secretary SM Delowar Hossain, Joint Organisational Secretary Ishrakur Rahman, Golam Maola, Health and Human Resources Secretary Nazmul Hossain Lablu, and Information and Technology Secretary Arfin Mohammad Sajib attended the event along with locals.
Chunnu said poverty had forced Kawsar to live in misery for a long time and the organisation provided the wheelchair and some cash with Lavlu’s support, which made the family very happy.
He added that Bashundhara Shuvosangho’s members have stood beside helpless and needy people with humanitarian support and will continue to work for the underprivileged in the future.
