On the evening of January 23, 2018, 26-year-old Akbar Ali had been on his way back home, when a drunk driver collided with his motorbike. The accident had left him with near-fatal injuries, and his family left no stone unturned in their efforts to save him. But soon they had run out of all resources to keep his treatment going. That is when you heard their cry for help and came together to help Akbar pull through this devastating accident. With your support, Akbar beat all odds and made a speedy recovery.
Akbar and his family are immensely grateful for the love they received from you. Without your kindness and support, he wouldn’t have bounced back and got his life on track again. In 2018, his family didn’t know if he would ever walk again properly - but now he is healthy and thriving, and even tied the knot recently. Today, he and his sister volunteer their time for new brain injury survivors and their caregivers. They help others and are also donating to causes on Milaap as a way of giving back.
Accidents can happen anytime and they come without warning. The stark truth is that not everyone is as lucky as Akbar - not everyone’s family is able to arrange enough funds in time for the extensive treatment that follows trauma cases. Patients linger in unbearable pain and suffering for many years, unable to get the medical care they deserve to recuperate properly. Trauma patients often hang between life and death, in a vegetative state, as a result.
This is where you can step in and contribute to Milaap’s Accident Emergency Response Fund, and be a beacon of light for those whose lives were turned upside-down by accidents.
