Rina Karmakar gets a wheelchair after waiting many years

March 11, 2022 

West Bengal, India 

Dear Marc,

Greetings of the day and hope you are doing well! 


Marc, this month I just distributed a wheelchair to a lady who has been completely bed-ridden for years. 

About 8 years ago Mrs. Rina Karmakar had started complaining about joint pain in her legs. She was taken to Baruipur Sub-Divisional Hospital where she was diagnosed of nerve problems and so they asked her to have MRI tests done. As her husband had lost his job she decided to do the tests later. 

Weeks passed into months and months into years and the patients condition rapidly deteoriated as she was unable to have her investigations conducted due to scarcity of money and now she is not able to move at all. 

She is looked after by her son's wife. The son had approached me for a wheelchair in January. As there were other urgent issues to be tackled, a wheelchair chair was bought this (March) month and given to her. 

Mrs. karmakar is very happy to have received a wheelchair which means she can move short distances by her side. 

Money alloted for March - Rs. 10,000  $130
Money spent on wheelchair - Rs. 9000  $117
Transport to Haral - Rs. 800 $10
Total Expenditure - Rs. 9,800
Balance - Rs. 200

Thanks and best wishes
Uttara
