My Story
I was raised in Bangladesh before the age of ten. Growing up, I saw a lot of poverty on the streets. While walking on the sidewalk, I'd see countless homeless people laying their heads on rocks as pillows during the winter. Some were naked. Those images stuck with me in my head.

One Wheelchair was donated to Sirajdikhan General Hospital & Diagnostic Center, Munshigonj, Bangladesh. This is a new hospital opened 2023 and in need of many wheelchairs. What a way to start on a positive note and hope people somewhere will also donate here for people who needs wheelchair assistance.
