MOW HAPPY CHILD - Update on Siti Nurmaisara

It has been a week since we posted the blog about Siti Nurmaisara, one of our MOW Food Bank family's child with cyctic fibrosis. Many things have taken place during this one week, but the good news is that Siti was discharged last Thurs, 11 Apr, and is finally home after more than 2 weeks in the hospital. Actually she was discharged on Wed evening, but because of the heavy downpour and flash floods in downtown KL, the mother was not able to get a taxi. Fortunately, there was an empty bed in the Paeds ward, and the nurse kindly allowed them to stay another night. I gave them a ride home on Thurs morning as I had some personal matter to attend to at the hospital on that day.

We stopped by a petrol station on the way to Siti's house in Gombak, to get muffins, buns and soya bean milk as they have not had their breakfast.

In the past week, many good samaritans came forward offering their support for Siti in various ways. In particular, Dr Teresa and Dr Patrick who offered to contact Nestle, the supplier of Peptamen Junior, the milk which Siti needs to consume for her sustenance, to put on weight and grow, to build immunity and less susceptible to infection, be well enough to attend school and allow her to lead as normal a childhood, as a child with cystic fibrosis can. Nestle has kindly donated 4 tins of Peptamen Junior, which were delivered to Siti at the PPR flat on Friday (12 Apr) .... Siti was sooooo HAPPY as you can see from the pictures.

We have also received cash contributions from the following kind and generous donors. The amount collected will be used to buy the milk, which is Siti's staple food, for the next few months.

1. Albert Quay  - RM200
2. Alex and Adrian Lee - RM780
3. Datin Malina Su  - RM1,000.00
4. Ms. Mala   - RM200
5. Dr. T.C  - RM300
6. Pn Sri Cecilia Lim - RM300
7. Zainal Amar  - RM250
8. Joseph Thambirajah  - RM500
9. Dr. Rabin - RM300
10. Lim Chin Kah - RM200
11.Norenshah-RM300
12. Ti-ratana MOW regular donors which we have potion out their donation for this cause.

On behalf of Siti Nurmaisara, we would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to Dr Teresa, Dr Patrick, Nestle and all the donors who have so quickly come forward to help in response to Siti's plight. Siti's family is grateful for your care and support.
