The day that changed life.
18th of April 2018
It was normal day until a disastrous incident took place. I was returning to my hometown from my place of work. It was 9 o'clock at night and it was raining heavily. I was in a hurry. I went to the railway station and the train was about to go.
While I was trying to get up to the train my leg slipped. I tried my level best to get hold of the handles present around the train's gate but I failed to do so.
That resulted in me falling inside the gap present in between the platform and the train.
The train was running at a slow pace and if I would have tried to get up or if I would have panicked at that situation then I would have got myself mashed then and there.
I had no other option but to stay there still the train passes and handle all the pain. The pain cannot be explained in words.
After the train passed I noticed that I wasn't able to stand up. I started panicking and getting nervous. I switched the flash present on my mobile phone in the hope of someone noticing me.
I called some people who lived nearby. After some time they came and picked me up and put me into the ambulance. I was taken to the nearby hospital where the doctors refused for the treatment and told us to go to a better hospital which was in Kolkata.
We then went to kolkata and it was a long 3 to 4 hour journey full of pain.
Irrational thoughts wouldn't stop going across my mind. After we reached kolkata the doctor examined the entire situation and the treatment started. I was admitted to the hospital where I stayed for 11 months.
In the entire process of treatment I lost my right leg. Nothing is normal after that. Along with my right leg I lost 4 fingers and the heel of my left leg.
The doctors then by doing surgery somehow tried to fix my heel by taking flesh from the other parts of my body. I took pills and injectables one after another to get hold of the pain that I was receiving.
It took me more than 18 months to stand up. I still cannot walk or do many things that a normal person can do. After sometime I bought a laptop on EMI So that I can work from home.
I started searching for jobs in a freelancing application where I got my first job from David Bobiash. One day I told my story to David sir after listening to my story he helped me as much as he could. He started giving his all work to me So that I can earn money for my family.
David sir wanted to give me a prosthetic leg but suddenly a stroam came in his life It took his everything.
He came into my life as a God.
Even my parents are not with me but he is still there for me every time. He is trying to get finance so he can give me a prosthetic leg as well as he can help others. He is a very kind hearted person.
I currently have no financial support even though my family has backed off from the expenses required for my treatment.
Now I am living with my wife and daughter in one rented room.
I want to get back normal and for that I need an artificial leg.
I want to go out to work so , I can earn my daily bread for a living.
I want to do all the work that any other individual does.
I want to enjoy life the way I used to do.
For that I need funds and currently I am not in a position to do it myself thus I am seeking help.
Thank you God for everything I have. AMEN
Oh and thank you for the kindness of people like David. AMEN
I had been asked by Bheem if I had read the email he wrote to me about his lives tragedy and how it devastated not only him, but his entire life and family as he knew all these things to be.
I was so shocked by how Bheem referred to me, that I gave you Bheem and his story before I gave you even one page of my book.
I pray that someone of compassion reads this and helps Bheem.
Normally I would have done this on my own, but my book for Bheem, and my tetralogy series and Cook Book Series titled: "International Cuisine" will explain those reasons.
I hope you all enjoy it.
Regards,
David Bobiash
Thanks for understanding in advance everyone.
God tells us all, “Love one another.”
Bheem needs help now. AMEN
