KUCHING : A hit-and-run accident victim is
in dire need of help. Lobo bin Dawi, 35,
is paralysed from the waist down.
Life is difficult for his wife, Aliya bte
Abdullah,36, and their
three children who are between one year old
and 11 years old.
As Lobo was the sole bread winner of the
family, his wife now has to sell food items to earn a living. Their youngest
child still needs milk powder and pampers.
The family is too poor to even own a house
and is currently staying with Lobo’s
siblings at Stampin.
Lobo is also saddled with a hospital bill
of RM450 and is dependent on public help.
State Assemblyman for Batu Kitang, Lo Khere
Chiang, after hearing about their plight,
visited Lobo and his family recently.
He gave a personal donation of RM500 and
hoped that the Sarawak General Hospital could waive
the RM450 that Lobo owed as the family could
barely make ends meet.
Lo also hoped that Hope Place, a charitable organisation here, could help Lobo and his
family with their monthly food requirements. He also called on kind
members of the public to give assistance to the family in cash and kind.
Currently, Lo is assisting Lobo to apply
for welfare aid. Due to his condition, Lobo cannot afford a proper mattress and
he is suffering from bad bedsores due to hours of laying
down on a worn out mattress.
