Ms Han Hongli, 42, was slashed repeatedly outside a restaurant in Beach Road on April 14. The alleged assailant, her estranged husband, was charged in court for attempted murder on April 16.

Ms Han was sent to the hospital with multiple slash wounds. The mother of two is from Henan, a province in central China. Her children, 20 and 17, are currently looked after by her family.

Ray of Hope caseworkers have spoken to Ms Han. Since her admission, she has undergone four surgeries for her head, eyes and hands. She was also advised that she would need two more eye surgeries to regain her eyesight. She shared that despite her injuries, she is worried about her two children back home.

1. Medical fees: $67,931.70*
