Your Kindness Can Ignite Hope for 8-Year-Old Kai Qi, Giving Her a More Stable Life!
She urgently needs RM11,320 to purchase specialized formula milk and a custom wheelchair tailored to her physical needs. These essential items will help prevent her condition from worsening, alleviate her pain, and allow her to live more comfortably. We sincerely appeal to kind-hearted individuals across the nation to contribute generously.
Case No. 1998: Chow Kai Qi should have been able to grow up carefree like any other child, but fate has dealt her unimaginable hardships. Since she was just 3 months old, she has been diagnosed with SCN 8A Epileptic Encephalopathy, a severe neurological disorder that has caused developmental delays. She cannot move independently and has been bedridden for a long time, resulting in limb contractures. Additionally, she suffers from severe kyphoscoliosis (an abnormal curvature of the spine), making it extremely difficult for her to lie down. She cannot sleep on her back and can only rest on her side.
Currently, Kai Qi is using a baby stroller, but as she grows taller, it is no longer suitable for her. She now requires a specialized wheelchair with proper support to prevent further worsening of her kyphoscoliosis, which could lead to respiratory complications and other severe consequences.
【A Mother’s Tears and Determination】
When Kai Qi was born, there were no apparent health issues. Her mother, Chin Jin Ting (37 years old), was overjoyed to welcome her baby girl. However, she soon noticed that her daughter was always weak and even struggled to drink milk. Concerned, she took her to the hospital for a check-up, but the reports showed no abnormalities.
It was not until Kai Qi was 2 months old that she suddenly experienced seizures at her nanny’s house. She was rushed to the hospital for a thorough examination, where she was finally diagnosed with SCN8A Epileptic Encephalopathy. The devastating news left her parents heartbroken.
Both parents underwent genetic testing, but no abnormalities were found. They were overwhelmed with sorrow and helplessness, unable to understand why their daughter was afflicted with such a rare disease.
When speaking to social workers about her daughter’s condition, Kai Qi’s mother could not hold back her tears. She questioned why such misfortune had befallen her child. Due to Kai Qi’s medical condition, the nanny could no longer care for her, forcing her mother to quit her job and become a full-time caregiver. Although the journey has been incredibly difficult, she has never thought of giving up—because she knows she is her daughter’s only lifeline.
【A Father’s Struggles and Unwavering Support】
Kai Qi has an 11-year-old sister, and their family of four relies solely on their father, Chow Chee Keong (39 years old), for financial support. He works as an air-conditioning technician, but his income is unstable. Despite his efforts, he can barely cover the family’s daily expenses, medical costs for Kai Qi, and his eldest daughter’s school fees.
The family’s financial burden has reached its limit. Unable to afford the additional expenses required for Kai Qi’s special formula and wheelchair, her father is reaching out for help. Seeing their struggle, we have decided to step in and assist in raising RM11,320 to cover the cost of two years’ worth of specialized formula milk and a customized wheelchair for little Kai Qi.
Breakdown of Costs:
- Specialized Formula (FRISCO) – RM86 per can × 5 cans per month
RM430 × 24 months = RM10,320 - Specialized Wheelchair (partially subsidized by a government hospital)
RM1,000 - Total: RM11,320
