I got chickenpox at the age of 27.

Hello, my name is Palash B. I live in Gopalgonj district, the South of Bangladesh. I’ m 27 years old and I take care of my parents. My father has been working as a day laborer for many years and retired due to his old age. Now, both my parents rely on me and my income. We live a simple life in a small tin shed house. The floor in our house is made of mud. You can imagine our concern when one day I got chickenpox! Being ill is a big deal for people like me, with little income, but much responsibility for a whole family! When I was ill, we had no money for medical treatment. The budget was too tight! None of our relatives or friends could borrow us some money either. Luckily, someone informed people from the ICDP about my situation! Because of the help provided through the ICD program, I could recover soon, as I was provided with medicine and encouraging advice! I felt better within a week and was able to keep my job, which allows me to continue caring for my aged parents! We are forever grateful to the people of ICDP.”
