Seventeen days after losing her husband, 28-year-old Rokshana Begum of Chattogram received financial assistance from District Commissioner Mohammad Zahidul Islam. Her husband, Suman Ahmed, a 37-year-old rickshaw puller, had died after three months of illness, leaving behind Rokshana and their two young children without any income. With savings exhausted on medical expenses, she struggled to pay rent and meet daily needs, prompting her to seek help from the district administration.

Rokshana’s written appeal described her family’s dire condition and was reviewed by the DC, known for his humanitarian initiatives. Upon receiving the application, he arranged immediate financial support for the family. Officials noted that losing the sole breadwinner often pushes families into deep uncertainty, especially affecting children’s futures.

Rokshana expressed gratitude, saying the DC personally listened to her situation and offered both financial help and encouragement for her children’s education. The DC stated that while the aid might not solve all her problems, it conveyed the message that she is not alone. The assistance provided initial relief and renewed hope for Rokshana’s ongoing struggle to rebuild her life.
