Muhammad Raheem Shah once was a strong young man of his village “Chankari” in District Mansehra of North West Frontier Province of Pakistan. He was earning his livelihood by carrying big wooden beams from Jungle to the roadside. He married with a girl of his village in early 2005.
In the devastating earthquake of October 2005, Raheem got burried under the rubbles of his mud house and fortunately other family members remained unhurted. After six hours, Raheem was taken out from the rubles with broken spinal chord at the lower back part of the body; making his both legs senseless and thus disabling him for the rest of his life. His entire livelihood got destroyed and moreover he could not carry out even his routine activities.
Since then, they are living in the relative house for Raheem being totally dependent on his wife and mother. There are no chances for Muhammad Raheem to become father (his reproductive system affected because of the same incident) and the family is living in a miserable condition in a 10 x 10 Feet mud room with no washroom facilities
“Omaha Rapid Response” Leadership team has approved the Raheem Shah case for building home, Brain Smith and Davi Kangas are arriving to start the building activities. We request you to please support us to raise money so we may be able to complete the house before fall of winter being very cold in the Northern part of the province.
