“Although I was sick, I didn’t want to sit down doing nothing… I was trying to help my wife…” he explained to GHCA assessment team on why he wanted to sell banana fritters and rojak.

Hussen bin Abdullah is a 59-year-old kidney patient who suffered from diabetes 18 years ago. He has been living in a small and stuffy room with his wife, Mukaromah, who has always been by his side throughout their life. She worked as a house cleaner with monthly income of RM800 in order to cover their household expenses.

Due to Hussen’s kidney failure, he has to undergo dialysis treatment that costs RM1,950 monthly. His wife was unable to pay for such a huge amount of dialysis fee. Hussen on the other hand used to work at the construction site before becoming a cleaner, but is now forced to stop working due to his worsening health condition.

But he didn’t stop there. To overcome their financial challenge, the couple has been recently selling banana fritters, rojak and other traditional cakes at their housing area everyday to earn some living income.

Inspired by his self determination to push forward for a living, Great Heart Charity has decided to subsidize his haemodialysis treatment fee for 7 months from July 2019 to January 2020 with a total amount of RM1,500 monthly, via collaboration with CARI Internet’s online crowdfunding that has recently succeeded in reaching its total fundraising target.

“Today’s visitation has truly shown me the meaning of how to be more grateful with my life, just as the beneficiaries are always grateful with theirs.” said Salina, one of the 4 volunteers who made an early Deepavali grocery distributions to our beneficiaries on 12 October to prepare for Deepavali celebration in 2 weeks’ time.

On the grocery distribution day, GHCA’s social workers were divided into 2 teams to follow up for the visitation to homes of the 10 beneficiaries in Klang and Kuala Lumpur.

It was truly a meaningful day for both GHCA’s volunteers and the beneficiaries as the visitations have lifted smiles on everyone’s face!

Meet Mr Perakash, a 45-years-old factory worker who lives alone at his sparsely furnished room in a small apartment. His life changed tremendously when he was diagnosed with heart illness. From being a proud husband and father, he’s now fighting for his own life all by himself.

However, this doesn’t stop him from believing that everything will be fine someday. He took a hard decision to let go of his wife and children, as he doesn’t want to burden them with his situation.

Despite the pain, Mr Perakash still comes out smiling and continues working to provide money for his children. Happy tears flow whenever he gets to see his children, whom have become his pillar of strength. Having strong motivation to cure his illness, he asked for help to go for angioplasty treatment.

Seeing how inspiring his will to be healthy, Great Heart Charity decided to offer financial aid for his angioplasty treatment. After the operation, he now managed to work normally.

Although no one knows what he might go through next, we hope everyone will be able to learn from Mr Perakash to maintain a positive mindset even at times of adversity!
