Description
A 10-month-old baby boy is experiencing rectal bleeding! We earnestly request that kind-hearted people donate a one-year supply of special formula milk, totaling RM 5129.28, to help him sustain his vital needs and overcome this difficult situation.
Case No. 1795: Little baby VIGNESWAR is unable to consume regular food due to infective acute gastroenteritis and secondary lactose intolerance. He can only consume expensive, special formula milk, which his impoverished family cannot afford. We appeal to everyone to assist in ensuring the baby grows up safely.
Baby boy VIGNESWAR A/L KALAICHELVAN started experiencing rectal bleeding last November for unknown reasons. His worried mother promptly took him to the hospital for treatment. Unfortunately, two days after discharge, the baby experienced rectal bleeding again, accompanied by persistent diarrhea and crying. Seeing this, mother MILDWINDER KAUR had no choice but to take the baby back to the hospital for a detailed examination.
Medical reports indicate that the baby suffers from Infective Acute Gastroenteritis and Secondary Lactose Intolerance, preventing him from consuming regular formula milk. He must drink special-formulated milk to alleviate his condition.
The baby has an older brother and sister, both healthy and safe, but VIGNESWAR is causing his mother great concern and distress. Due to the family’s poverty, they all live with their grandmother. The mother takes care of the three young children at home, while the father works as a daily-wage laborer with a meager income. Sustaining the family’s living expenses is already challenging, and they are unable to afford the costly special formula milk. In their sadness and helplessness, they seek assistance from Da Ai.
With the parents’ approval, we have initiated a crowdfunding campaign to purchase a one-year supply of the special formula milk the baby needs. The details are as follows:
Special Formula Milk – SIMILAC LACTOSE FREE, RM 32.88 X 156 cans for one year = RM 5,129.28
We sincerely implore generous individuals nationwide to contribute and help the little baby receive the special formula milk necessary for sustaining his life and overcoming this challenging period, enabling him to grow up safely. We also request everyone to share this plea for help, reaching out to more compassionate individuals. Thank you.

Thank you to all the kind-hearted individuals nationwide who donated special formula milk funds for 10-month-old baby boy VIGNESWAR, the crowdfunding goal has been met, donation is now closed. We appreciate everyone’s generosity.
The doctor has recommended switching the baby to NOVALAC (NOVARICE) formula instead of the originally planned SIMILAC LACTOSE FREE because it’s more suitable for the baby, despite its higher price. We are grateful for reaching the donation goal, enabling us to purchase 52 cans of NOVALAC, which will be delivered to the baby’s home. The total cost for 52 cans of NOVALAC is RM8060 (RM155 per can).
VIGNESWAR’s mother, MILDWINDER KAUR, mentioned that 52 cans of NOVALAC can last the baby for a year. She expresses deep gratitude to all the kind-hearted donors for helping her baby get through this difficult time.
We are truly thankful for the generous donations from across the nation. Good deeds accumulate merit, and kindness brings blessings. Wishing all kind-hearted individuals good health, peace, smooth sailing in all endeavors, and happiness in their families.
