After Stabroek News published an article about a Princess Street man who was seeking the help of the public to purchase an electric wheelchair, his plea was answered yesterday when businessman, Azruddin Mohammed, donated a mobility scooter.

Gordon Ross who is paralyzed from the waist down received his brand new electric chair yesterday morning.

Ross visited Stabroek News last Tuesday asking for his story to be published. He told this newspaper that he has been paralyzed from his waist down for over three years now, and he has since been using a wheelchair as his form of mobility. However, the wheelchair was deteriorating and could not support his weight anymore.
