スライヨさんは２５歳。今年結婚する予定でしたが、６月に自動車事故に遭い、重症を負いました。スライヨさんは、右足の複雑骨折、頭部外傷、その他にも多くの部位を損傷しました。その後、外科手術のため長期入院しました。

今、スライヨさんはタシケント州のはずれにあるベコボッド地区で家族と一緒に住んでいます。手術はタシケント市内の病院で行われましたが、スライヨさんの健康状態は完全には回復しませんでした。身体が弱って力も出ず、右足は今でも回復しないので、日常生活上とても困っていました。それに加えて、事故から半年以上経った今でも、公式に障害認定を受けられていないため、ウズベキスタン政府の車いすはもらえませんでした。家族の経済状態も良くないため、自分たちで車いすを買うことは不可能でした。

スライヨさんを紹介してくれたベコボッド地区の障害者協会の会長は「この人には絶対に車いすが必要だ」と言いました。結婚も解消されて、生きる希望を失い、どん底まで落ち込み、孤立していたスライヨさん。車いすがなければ、外に出かけることもままなりません・・・。

こうして今「希望の車いす」を手にして、スライヨさんは人生の意味をもう一度見つけられるのではないでしょうか。どうもありがとうございました！

Surayyo is 25 years old. She was planning to get married this year, but in the car accident in June she was seriously injured. She got a compound fracture of the right leg, head trauma, and other injuries of other parts of her body. After that, Surayyo was hospitalized for a surgery for a long-term.

Now, Surayyo lives with her family in Bekobod district on the outskirts of Tashkent region. Surgery was done at a hospital in Tashkent city, but her health has not fully recovered. Her body has become really weak, and the right foot has not yet recovered even now, so that she has many troubles in her everyday life. In addition to that, even after more than half a year after the accident, she has not been accredited by the government to be classified as a disabled person. Therefore, she was not able to get a wheelchair from the government of Uzbekistan. As the economic conditions of her family are not good, they are also not able to buy a wheelchair on their own.

The chairperson of Bekobod district branch of the Uzbek Society of Disabled People, who introduced Surayyo to us, said: "We should definitely give a wheelchair to her." Surayyo's marriage was cancelled, she lost all her hopes for life, became depressed and isolated from the society. If there was no wheelchair, she would not be able to overcome these sufferings and go out from home...

Thus, after receiving a "wheelchair of Hope", it seemed that Surayyo has again found the meaning of life. Thank you very much!!
