Ray of Hope has previously assisted Madam Lee and raised $540 for her Home Care Services fees. The case workers recently visited her and understand that Madam Lee has not been coping well emotionally since her fall in November last year. After her fall, she had to undergo two surgeries on her leg despite her fear due to her old age. Madam Lee has since been suffering from malnutrition and her weight took a plunge from 63kg to her current weight of 49kg.

Madam Lee has two children whom she shares a close relationship with. However, her son who is in his late fifties is currently incarcerated and will only be released in December 2020. Madam Lee’s daughter had passed away about 3 years ago from cancer. Since then, the elderly finds herself constrained to her 2-room flat and often looks forward to the visit by her god-daughter who accompanies Madam Lee for her medical appointments.

In spite of her trauma, Madam Lee tries to be as positive as she could all these while. Madam Lee is currently also attending church services whenever her health allows so, and has made some friends at the church. However, her emotions were badly affected since the accident, and this worries her family deeply since it has taken a negative toll on her diet, especially when Madam Lee is only relying on the four bottles of milk diet as prescribed by her doctors.

Financial Breakdown

Ray of Hope would like to raise $3,000 for Madam Lee’s Home Care Services ($300 x 10 months) so that she does not need to worry about the fees until she fully gets well. Payment will be made to the relevant agency directly.

*Madam Lee is currently on public assistance including the Silver Support scheme. The amount quoted for the home-care services is after 80% government subsidy.
