Filed under: Helping the less fortunate
Sebastian & I delivered 2 wheelchairs which were donated by YB Datuk Peter Chin to the less fortunate in Miri. Photo shows the recepients at the Miri Dialysis Centre at The Red Crescent.
Have you been to the Miri Dialysis Centre? Patients with kidney problems have to undergo dailysis treatment 3 times a week. Each visit takes 4 hours and can cost up to RM250. it means that kidney patients cant work like a normal person. They have to spend long hours 3 times a week in the centre. They have to pay for treatment. They lose productive working hours. Fortunately, the Miri Kidney Dialysis Centre runs by the Red Crescent is available to help the kidney patients, including subsidising the cost of dialysis. RM 200 each time means about RM2400 a month for treatment. How many people can afford this? Fortunately, through the Red Crescent of which YB Datuk Patinggi George Chan & YB Lee Kim Shin are actively involved in, & together with the many generous public donations, the treatments are heavily subsidised to enable even a poor man to get treatment.
So my friends, look after your kidneys & your body. Stay healthy. Also give back to the society to help the less fortunate whenver you are able. "Got money, donate; got strength, contribute time & effort".
Make Miri City & our society a better place to live for all!
