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 ...

MOW CELEBRATE - Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre Visit on the 16th of February 2014

Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre Visit

On the 16th of February 2014, the Meals on Wheels family of Ti-Ratana Penchala Community center visited the Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre at Sungei Besi, Kuala Lumpur.


"Mr Cheong Loy , an undertaker running a funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery in Sungei Besi, has graciously opened up the first floor of his facility to care for senior citizens abandoned by their families at hospitals across the Klang Valley for more than ten years. 

The hospitals provide them with free medical care but the expenses for the centre comes from Mr Cheong Loy himself and from public contributions'. by Zainal Amar

Briefing by Brother Tommy and group photo

As the other members prepared lunch, the rest began to mingle and speak to the residents of the home.

As stories were shared, emotions surfaced.

As emotions ran high, some members took a moment for themselves.

They care for one another as all they have is each other.

Love not just given to fellow human beings but animals as well.

Tong Sim Senior Citizen’s Care Centre sits atop a funeral parlour on the grounds of the Kwong Tong Cemetery. An unfortunate and grim reminder of whats at the end.

MOW Mobile Library – Workbooks for underprivileged children

Children from poor families are always at a disadvantaged as the families are not able to afford to buy workbooks to supplement the school text books.

On Monday, 24th February, Ti-Ratana Meals on Wheels handed over 5 boxes of workbooks for primary school children to the Headmistress and Senior Assistant of SJKC Jinjang Tengah 1.

These books will come in handy for children from Standard 1 to Standard 6, when they are doing their revisions, and to have a better grasp of the lessons taught in the classrooms.

On behalf of the schoolchildren, a BIG THANK YOU to Popular Book Store for their generous donation of these books.
