Yellaiah 先生(62岁)曾经是一名拥有23年经验的割胶工人,早在三十年前瞎了意外右眼,而左眼最近也开始视线模糊,如今年老得病在家休养且没有收入。

公积金早在55岁时就用尽在屋子和肾病上,政府援助金缺因为年龄问题不获批准。年迈的他有三个儿子却只有孝顺的大儿子负起责任照顾他,二儿子和小儿子对他不闻不问且漠不关心,让他痛彻心扉。

原本生活还过得去,但自从父亲得病后开始负债累累,拖欠数万元的房贷和医药费。大儿子只不过是收入两千的罗里司机,对于如此庞大的医疗费和生活压力,他们实在喘不过气。

耕心慈善帮助Yellaiah先生每月RM720的洗肾津贴(期限),但相较高昂的洗肾费用而言这补贴远远不足。希望有心人士能够向Yellaiah 先生一家伸出援手。

62-years-old Yellaiah was a rubber worker with 23 years of experience before he suffered from kidney failure and become unemployed. His utilized his EPF completely at the age of 55 for his house and kidney dialysis payment.

Unfortunately, his right eye has become impaired since 1984, and his left eye even began to have blurred vision since 2 months ago and he is anxious about this. His eldest son, Kumar and his wife, Yokeshwary has always been his monetary and mental support, they are responsible for helping him to bear all the living costs, but since his father suffered from kidney dialysis, they have owed their friends about Rm20,000 (Rm10000 from the housing fee, and other 10k from the medical expenses).

Kumar is a lorry driver who has a monthly salary of RM2200 and his wife only earned Rm1200 every month as office clerk. The other children of Yellaiah has never bothered about him and aren’t willing to help his father and it breaks Yellaiah’ heart.

Great Heart Charity will be helping Yellaiah for six months in the dialysis aid of Rm720. However, they still needed more support from the public as their dialysis expense of Rm2000 above monthly has suffocating them tremendously.
