Situation
81-year-old Ms.Soon Yoke Lan working as a nanny suffered from diabetes and kidney disease in 2011. Ms Soon afflicted with many ailments has had two major surgeries. To extend her life after kidney failure, she requires dialysis three times a week. Each session at RM60, as well as monthly injections at an additional RM60. Her daughter takes her to the Kau Ong Yah dialysis center. However, the long term treatment and accumulative medical costs has led to a very heavy burden for the family. Her family, four sons and a daughter are all married with their own families to take care of. One of the children is mentally retarded.
Soon Yoke Lan knows that life is fragile and wants to make every day count. With encouragement from everyone around her, she wants to live a full life; a simple but happy life with her family.
