DMA: An
Jefit A
series of Pictures tell a story
MHII 280611, 281011
Peace to all!
Jefit Anyir,
32 years old widow and mother to 3 young school going children aged 11 years
boy Jong Kim Hon (Pri 5), 8 yrs
old girl Jong Kim Choo (Pri 2) and 6 yrs old girl Jong Yan Choo in kindergarten. Jefit and her children live at Sg
Apong Squatters Colony...
We will visit her this Advent.
Jefit has no formal education nor
has acquired any special skills.
The demise of her husband has
dealt a serious blow to the survival of her family.
Her late husband, Jong
succumbed to cancer 4 years ago.
Relatives from the rural area
have not been able to help.
However, thanks to the
hospital staff who has helped her to apply for welfare aid for poor widow.
The monthly grant of RM300 was
approved in Sep 2009 and credited to her BSN bank account since.
Life as a single parent, with
no other source of income is difficult.
In days of scarcity, she would
gather wild ferns from Sejingkat area to put food on
the table.
Home is a simple wooden hut
with rickety floor-board.
During the rainy season, her
house would be prone to floods.
Her home address at No.32 Jln Sg Apong
is a squatter settlement.
The road leading to it is a
maze of narrow winding and undulated streets.
A GPS may not be of help.
Would you want to help dry the
tears and put the smile back on the faces of this destitute family?
NB:
The path to
Jefit’s house is rather narrow and winding, suggest
go there by car- pooling in small cars.
Visitors
can either stand outside the house or stand near the corridor owing to the
fragile house floor in the living room.
