Description
Case No. 1665: An emergency donation for the operation fee to save the life of the baby girl, Lal Pek Hlu, who is just one month old.
Lal Pek Hlu, who was lying in the intensive care unit of the hospital because of a congenital Atrial Septal Defect and Patent Ductus Arteriosus, had catheters inserted into her nose and mouth, and her life was clinging on in painful breaths. She must be rescued as soon as possible. However, the young parents are unable to cover the hefty operation fee of RM80,000.00, so they earnestly request the help of enthusiastic people to support the crowdfunding.
Due to the unbearable pain, the newborn baby has been unable to leave the hospital bed and has suffered discomfort and pain. She can only wait for help to undergo the surgery, which is heartbroken.
According to the doctor, Lal Pek Hlu suffers from Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) and Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) and must undergo a surgery to close the ASD closure and ligate the PDA as soon as possible to avoid heart failure and high lung pressure, which will shorten her life span.
After being born in December 2022, Lal Pek Hlu has been staying in the intensive care unit for more than 5 weeks. Now her condition is getting worse. Cardiac arterial bleeding leads to high pressure in the lungs and difficulty breathing. Her life is in danger, and she needs surgery urgently to save her life.
The baby’s mother, Lal Nun Siam, is still weak and unable to work because of pregnancy-induced hypertension during pregnancy. Her husband, Hram Chan Zel (26 years old), cannot go out to work in order to take care of his beloved wife. Her husband is an electrician. Because of his meager income, he is unable to afford the huge surgery fee. Other than that, he is currently unable to work and has difficulties coping with life. In his helplessness, he seeks Da Ai’s help and hopes to crowdfund the huge surgery fee to save his daughter’s life.
Lal Pek Hlu is the couple’s first baby. It was nice to have a daughter. Unfortunately, the baby had to undergo an operation as soon as possible to save her life. Due to the unaffordable operational fee, the family immediately fell into an abyss of pain.
Entrusted by Hram Chan Zel and his wife, we crowdfunded the operation fee of RM80,000.00 throughout the whole process. Due to the emergency, we sincerely call upon everyone to lend a helping hand by supporting the crowdfund, so that the baby can get through the difficulties quickly and the operation can be performed as soon as possible with a speedy recovery. Thank you.
Kindly share this article so that more enthusiastic people get to know the severe situation of the baby girl, Lal Pek Hlu. Let’s help the poor baby girl together! Thank you.
【Update-10 April 2023】
Thank you to everyone who so generously contributed to Lal Pek Hlu’s suffering by paying for two surgeries and the rental of an oxygen equipment. Thank you to everyone; the expense has been covered and the donations have ceased.
Lal Pek Hlu first underwent an RM36,312.15 life-saving cardiac procedure in a private hospital in February of this year due to the urgency of her condition. Afterwards, she had an RM9,397.50 throat procedure in a government hospital in March. When the baby was released from the hospital to recover, the mother had to heed the doctor’s recommendation to hire an oxygen machine for six months at a cost of RM4,000.00. These three items are priced at a total of RM49,709.65.
After suffering for months, the baby girl was eventually able to leave the hospital, giving her mother relief and making her grateful that the final bill was less than anticipated, stopping her from donating.
After her first cardiac surgery in February, she had to undergo a second surgery on March 30, following a severe laryngomalacia that made it difficult for her to breathe.
In order to help the baby through her surgery and treatment plans, we has been standing with both of her parents and supporting them. The fact that the two operations went well gave us peace of mind and relieved the baby’s parents.
Lal Pek Hlu is being released from the hospital after undergoing two major surgeries, but the doctor has advised that she require an oxygen machine for the next six months once she gets home. We wish the infant a quick recovery and a happy and healthy growth.
Lal Nun Siam, the baby’s mother, was grateful for the donations that enabled her daughter to return home safely from two surgeries and for the cost of renting an oxygen machine.
We are very grateful for the generous donations from people all over the country, as your loving contribution brings warmth to the community and helps the unfortunate patients to get through the difficult times. We wish you all good health, family happiness and success at work.
