“Single father cannot afford his ankle surgery fee as well as his son’s cleft lip surgery fee. As he is unable to work, the family is having huge financial crisis. Immediate help is needed”
42-year-old Junaidi bin Iyop is a bank security guard. His wife and him divorced a few years ago, and Junaidi was forced to take care of his three children, 14-year-old son Rizwan, 12-year-old daughter Dalhada and 6-year-old son Rizman.
His youngest son Rizman has severe cleft lip problem and the doctor recommended him to fix the problem through a surgery when the baby was born in 2013. However, Junaidi cannot afford both the surgery fee of his son and the family’s living expenses at the same time. Hence, the cleft lip problem of his son’s has not been fixed to date.
Junaidi was working as a warehouse administrator at Mydin Nilai but was fired by the company due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Being the sole breadwinner of the family, he decided to persevere and landed a job as a security guard at Ambank Petaling Jaya.
Just when he thought things are taking an auspicious turn, he fell down during a night shift last month. As he was still in his probation, he was not protected by SOCSO. Hence, he had to bear all his medical expenses.
Through kind-hearted people on the Internet, Da Ai social workers paid Junaidi and his family a visit. Upon the visit, we realised that their living conditions are awful as the house does not have a proper bed or other furniture. Hence, during the second visit, we sent them simple mattresses and food for emergency purpose.
Persatuan Kebajikan Amal Da Ai Malaysia calls upon enthusiastic philanthropists to lend a hand to single father Junaidi to overcome his hurdles. A total of RM18,800 is needed. The details are as follows:
Total: RM18,800

Thanks for helping Junaidi to complete her long-cherished wish to undergo cleft lip surgery for her young son, which also eased the difficulties of Junaidi’s family and added warmth to our society. We wish all kindhearted people good health and a happy family
