Description
A genetic disease has ruined his life! This 15-year-old boy has been bedridden and unable to care for himself. He needs the support and kindness of compassionate individuals to live a stable life. He requires RM7,740 to purchase a year’s supply of nutritional milk powder and diapers. We sincerely ask everyone to help him!
Case No. 1922: Narrein A/L Theventhiran has been diagnosed with Chronic Axonal Neuropathy, suspected to be Hereditary Motor and Sensory Neuropathy (HMSN). For four years, his limbs have lost their normal function, leaving him completely unable to care for himself. His condition is worsening, and he requires regular care and hospital check-ups.
When the Da Ai social worker visited his home, Narrein was lying in bed. According to his mother, Chitra A/P Kannaih, Narrein was once healthy and a lively child. However, when he turned 11, his legs started to lose mobility, and his condition progressively worsened. Now, he can only lie in bed. As she shared her story, the mother tearfully expressed her pain.
【Both of his older brothers have already passed away, and the family cannot bear to lose another child!】
The mother told the social worker that Narrein had two older brothers who also passed away from genetic diseases when they were young. After thorough medical examinations, it was confirmed that her children’s illnesses were caused by genetic issues.
There was an attempt by authorities to take Narrein into care, but his mother refused. She couldn’t bear to part with her only remaining child, believing that only a parent could provide the love and care he needs.
【Misfortune targets the unfortunate!】
Recently, Chitra was diagnosed with Stage 4 Follicular Lymphoma (breast cancer). A few years ago, she underwent brain surgery. The social worker noticed the scars on her head, was deeply moved by her struggle, and reflected on how close she had come to death.
The family continues to face hardship, as Narrein’s father suffers from a heart condition and requires regular hospital visits. The mother stays home to care for Narrein, even as she undergoes chemotherapy herself. The family survives on the meagre income Narrein’s father earns as a gardener, which is far from enough to cover their son’s expenses.
The cost of Narrein’s daily needs only worsens their already difficult situation. To help their son survive, the parents have entrusted us to assist. We aim to raise funds for a year’s supply of milk powder and diapers for Narrein. The detailed costs are as follows:
- TENA (M) Diapers
– RM22 x 12 packs = RM264
– RM264 x 12 months = RM3,168 - FERNLEAF 900G Nutritional Milk
– RM22.90 x 8 cans = RM183.20
– RM183.20 x 12 months = RM2,198.40 - ENSURE GOLD 800G Nutritional Milk
– RM98.90 x 2 cans = RM197.80
– RM197.80 x 12 months = RM2,373.60
The total is RM7,740 (RM3,168 + RM2,198.40 + RM2,373.60).
The Deepavali festival is approaching on October 31, a significant day for the Indian community. We hope that during this special time, kind-hearted people across the country will come forward to save this poor boy and help him live a stable life. We are incredibly grateful for any help you can provide. Please also help spread this message to reach more generous individuals. Thank you!
