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.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) HAPPY CHILD - Happy Birthday Janice!!!

Today is Janice's birthday ... she turned 2 today. We would like to wish Janice ...

A Very Happy Birthday and Many Many More To Come!!!

Janice is one of our MOW HAPPY CHILD recipient. She was diagnosed with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia when she was 2 months old. Her family has difficulty in providing her with the necessary nutrition and sought our help via the good doctors in UMMC.

We have been providing Janice with diapers, Peptamen and Nutren Junior milk since January 2014. Pictures below show Janice and her mother receiving their monthly milk supplies from Bro Tommy recently.

A BIG THANK YOU from Janice and her family to MOW HAPPY CHILD donors and supporters.

Meals on Wheels (MOW) Food Bank - Good News!!!

Remember one of our MOW FOOD BANK family in Sg Besi? The mother, Mdm Yap who had a stroke and bedridden for quite some time, is now recovering. She has been seeking rehabilitation at a stroke centre (recommended by one of MOW's supporter) for many months, and she is now able to sit up. This is indeed wonderful news and we truly hope that she will recover fully in time to come.

When we visited her in Sep 2013 ...

Our donors and supporters, and of course her family's love and dedication have contributed to her remarkable progress.

DEEP APPRECIATION AND THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION TOWARDS MDM YAP'S WELL BEING.

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.

In the 6 months since the relapsed, she was either in the hospital ward and sometimes wheeled to the hospital lobby when her Atuk receives groceries from MOW

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.
