Meals on Wheels (MOW) Happy Child - latest beneficiary of this program

Lee Cheng Shoon is a 9 year old boy who had severe head injury after an accident early this year. He was in a coma, mentally and physically handicapped. After 9 months, he is at home, and he has shown very little progress - recognition of family members, very little speech, and slight movements in his right limbs. He needs to be cared for 24/7 and he is fed Pediasure milk through a tube. His other needs at home include diapers, suction catheters, and copolymer examination gloves.

Cheng Shoon is the second in a family of 4 children. His father has a small bicycle shop in Kubang Kerian, and makes about RM1,000-RM1,200 a month, to support his family including his grandmother and grand mother-in-law. The mother is a housewife. Whatever little savings they had, have been used to care for Cheng Shoon since the accident, in addition to some donation they received from the public, since the case was in the local newspapers earlier this year.

Doctor said his brain is "unsalvageable". His recovery is going to take a very long time. He consumes about 400gm per day of Pediasure, which the family buys at a subsidised price of RM940 for 1 1/2 months supply. The subsidy was approved by the Dept of Social Welfare.

We are touched by the plight of this family, and will sponsor Cheng Shoon's milk supply for 6 months from Nov 2014 to Apr 2015 under the MOW Happy Child program, after which we will review before deciding on sponsorship for subsequent months.

We lost our MOW HAPPY CHILD Umira

Remember Umira, one of our MOW Happy Child candidate? Umira was first diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia when she was 1 yr old. After undergoing chemo in UMMC, the cancer went into remission for 2 yrs. In Oct last year, she had a relapsed and was admitted to UMMC again for treatment. After slightly more than 6 months in the hospital, she succumbed to her illness and passed away on Tues, 10th June 2014.

Our sincere condolences to her family, especially her "Atuk" (her grandma) who cared for her throughout her stay in the hospital.

She is now free from sufferings and may she rest in peace.

We would like to thank our donors who supported our cause in helping Umira and her Atuk.

MOW HAPPY CHILD - Please help Hui Lin's family to feed and care for her

This is a truly sad story. Hui Lin was previously a bright and active 9 year old. She had a sudden onset of fever and loss of consciousness just before Chinese New Year. She was intubated and ventilated for several days in the intensive care unit of UMMC. Multiple investigations were done on her, including MRI on her brain which confirmed that she had Acute Necrotising Encephalitis (brain injury with very poor prognosis).

Hui Lin is now out of the critical period. Unfortunately, she has multiple complications: bed-ridden, tube feeding, and cognitive impairment (unable to communicate). Her diet consists of only Nutren Junior milk.

She depends fully on her mother and elder brother. Her mother had also recently underwent an operation and is still recovering from the operation.

The father, who is a self-employed wireman is now the sole breadwinner to support the family of 5. Hui Lin's elder sister who is 15 yrs old is still in school, while her 23-year old brother is a draughtsman (currently on unpaid leave to help care for Hui Lin). With a total household income of RM3,500 per month, of which almost RM3,000 goes to house rental & utilities, lorry (which is used for the father's work) instalment, the family is desperately seeking help to care for Hui Lin.

Hui Lin is expected to be discharged from the hospital in a couple of weeks, depending on her progress. Currently, she needs 1 tin of 800gm of Nutren Junior milk every 2 days, or 15 tins per month. The milk cost about RM60-65 per tin, which will cost the family about RM1,000 per month. She also needs diapers and wet wipes which cost almost RM300 per month.

We are seeking donation to help Hui Lin get the nutrients and care that she needs.
Every little bit helps ...

 'To Give & Give!' 

The Meals on Wheels Ti-Ratana came about with the intention to provide food for the body & mind to the needy and disadvantage regardless of race, creed & religion. Incepted in 2010, the Meals on Wheels programme has fed, clothed, cared for and make friends with over few thousands. 

Meals on Wheels, throughout the years have garnered great support and encouragement from the public. We grew from strength to strength because of our pure intention to give unconditionally.

A simple fellowship gathering was held on 12 Jan 2014 with members, invited guests, donors and volunteers of Meals On Wheels Ti-Ratana, to share our journey and also announce our five (5) projects:

1) MOW CELEBRATE2) MOW FOOD BANK3) MOW LIBRARY/ MOBILE CLINIC4) MOW GRANT5) MOW HAPPY CHILD

MOW CELEBRATE 

There are many out there who are not able to afford to celebrate during festive seasons or even birthdays. Realising this, MOW will visit a home/orphanage /NGO and celebrate with them during festive celebrations, during your birthdays or any occasion you feel like celebrating with them.

MOW FOOD BANK

The MOW Food Bank programme helps people who are not able to cope with providing sufficient nourishment to their families. MOW FOOD BANK provides monthly supplies of rice, sugar, oil, can food, eggs and other essential groceries.

We work together with other NGO’s & Doctors to offer free medical check.

MOW GRANT

MOW supports AnimalCare Society & Metta Karuna Animal Rescue team to feed, neuter stray cats and dogs in the city.

MOW HAPPY CHILD

This programme is set up to help children in Government Hospitals who are terminally ill. This programme will provide funds for diapers and special milk powder nutrients for the children. MOW will also visit these children and organise activities to bring cheer to them. 

During the event, our advisor Datuk Chief Dhammaratana announced another project for Meals on Wheels (MOW)  which is offering scholarship to those in need to courses such as Ophthalmology, Dentistry and other Living Skill courses.

MOW HAPPY CHILD – These beautiful CHILDREN need your help

We would to introduce these CHILDREN who have been recently adopted into our MOW HAPPY CHILD program. All these CHILDREN are stricken with cancer.

They need special nutrients that are very costly and are beyond the means of their families. Most of them also have young and school-going siblings that add on to the burden of their families.

A more detailed profile of these children, their family background and financial situation are attached at the end of this post.

Under the MOW HAPPY CHILD program, these CHILDREN are provided with costly milk powder such as Peptamen and Nutren, as well as large quantities of diapers and wet wipes. We purchase these items and deliver to the CHILDREN on a monthly basis.

MOW HAPPY CHILD – Home Sweet Home for Valentino

Latest update (18 Oct 2013) : GOOD NEWS!!! Valentino responded well to the treatment for his infection and was discharged on 5 Oct 2013. He left for home in Sarawak on the same day. He will be returning to UMMC for his quarterly check-up, and MOW will continue to support him.

Thank you Datin Shiou Bin for your contribution towards Valentino's well-being while he was in UMMC.

*********************************************************************************
Valentino, an 8 year-old Iban boy from Sarawak was diagnosed with Severe Aplastic Anemia, a rare and serious blood disorder, in Jan 2013 by doctors in Hospital Kuching. In Mar 2013, he was transferred to UMMC (PJ) for a bone marrow transplant (BMT). He underwent the BMT procedure and after 3 months plus in UMMC, he returned to Hospital Kuching in July 2013.

His 4 year-old sister was the donor.

Two weeks after returning to Kuching, he had a serious infection on the right side of his brain that caused paralysis on the left side of his body – he could not talk, eat or move. He was transferred back to UMMC in July 2013, and after more than a month of treatment, he is able to talk, eat and move but is still unable to walk. However, the infection has moved down to his lungs and he is now battling with lung infection and tuberculosis. He eats porridge and Peptamen Junior milk provided by the hospital. The mother, Lily, does not know how much longer he needs to be treated in UMMC.

Lily practically lives in the hospital. Her husband sends her RM250 per month, which is barely enough to cover her own meals and her son’s needs. She sometimes skipped meals when she runs out of funds. The good doctors in UMMC personally help with the son’s diapers and sometimes buy food for her.

Valentino’s needs (RM468 per month)
Tena adult diapers (M) – 1 pack of 10 pcs per day @ RM14 x 30 packs = RM420 per month
Wet wipes – 3 days per box of 80 pcs @ RM4.80 x 10 boxes = RM48 per month

Valentino’s family
His father, Edward Sadai works as a labourer in a timber camp with a monthly salary of RM700. Lily, the mother is a housewife. His two younger siblings, Clerrintia Mas aged 4 yrs and Riskey Garie 3 yrs live with the grandmother, as Lily is taking care of Valentino at UMMC. She is not able to get help from her or her husband’s siblings.

Valentino is MOW HAPPY CHILD’s third candidate. His needs of diapers and wet wipes will be funded from Datin Shiou Bin’s donation, for as long as he is undergoing treatment in UMMC. Thank you so much Datin - Lily and Valentino are truly grateful for your kind and generous contribution.
