Sabir Khan, aged 29 years was a welder by profession. He met with an accident about 6 months back and injured his spine, which made him paraplegic; paralyzed below the hip. He is now at St. John’s hospital, Bangalore and was one of the beneficiaries of the Wheelchair Donation initiative from MicroCharity.
Sabir is now moving around cheerfully in a wheelchair and will be discharged from the hospital on Monday, February 3, 2014. Undeterred by his disability, he is planning to open a small shop, which is basically a metal box usually provided for people with disabilities.
