Dear donors, my name is Mandy, and please allow me to share with you the story of my mom.
My mom, Madam Koh, is currently suffering from vision impaired, diabetes, high blood and kidney failure, and she’s on dialysis 3 times a week.
My father walk out on us when I’m very young, and my mom have to work 2 jobs in the retail line to keep us afloat.
Her eye sight starts failing since 2005, and had gone through 5 times of laser treatment and 5 times of surgery, but eventually, nothing can be done to save her eyesight, which she becomes blind.
Her kidney had been failing during that time, but luckily, for the dialysis treatment, she has medisave to cover the treatment and we need not top up with cash yet. But eventually, when her medisave runs out, we will have to fork out cash payment.
So, every morning, I’ll send my mom to my grandma’s home first before I goes to work, and acompany her for dialysis every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday evening.
I’m the only daughter, and we used to be able to have some subsidy from CDC that gives us about $200 per month, but unfortunately that had stop since I’ve started working.
I’m presently drawing about $1400 per month, but after CPF deduction, I’m only bringing home about $1100+ every month, hardly enough to sustain the family.
We are term as those working poor, and the forgotten bunch in our fast paced society.
All I wish is for my mom to be able to lead be more comfortable in her life, and I’m urging for some assistance to tie through the tough times that we have.
We had stay in our rental flat our whole life, and I only wanted something better for her.
Thank you very much for caring!
