Indian community organizations in the Eastern Province are raising funds to help Salim Muhammad, an Indian salesman, who is in a comatose state at the Dammam Medical Complex after being hit by a car. “The community organizations are knocking at the doors of every Indian expatriate to help Slaim,” said Abdul Karim, a community leader. He said the plan is to send Salim back to India for better treatment and care. Those who are willing to donate may get in touch with Abdul Karim on 0503875061. Salim, who is the sole breadwinner in his family, has parents and unmarried sisters to support. Since the accident, his family back in India has not received any money. Salim's doctors are hopeful that he will recover with specialized medical treatment. Indian community organizations have already contacted the Indian Embassy in Riyadh for assistance, including free airline ticket for Salim. Salim will be accompanied by a doctor or a nurse in his flight back to India, according to Karim. Salim, 31, who is from the southern Indian state of Kerala was hit by a young Saudi driver in Al-Andalus District in Abqaiq, while he was returning to his shop on a bicycle after delivering groceries to neighboring houses. __
