How to donate money?
This is my mom, Rohaya. She’s 61 and lives in a small village in Malaysia. She has been on her own for 37 years since my dad passed away in a tragic accident. Mom is disabled and can’t walk due to Osteoarthritis in her knees. She also has high blood pressure, a urinary tract infection, and Cellulitis in her legs.
Since she can’t walk, she can no longer work and depends on a wheelchair to get around. We bought her a wheelchair about 10 years ago, but it’s old and some parts are broken. It’s also not the right size for her, as she is larger, causing painful chafing on her thighs. Sometimes, she must lie down all day because the chafing wounds hurt too much.
Mom urgently needs a new, larger wheelchair suitable for someone with obesity. Unfortunately, larger wheelchairs (Bariatric Wheelchairs) are very expensive and not available in Malaysia. We’d have to order one from overseas, but the cost is too high for us. That’s why I’m trying to raise funds online and hope for help to get her this wheelchair. Any support would be greatly appreciated.

About Us
I'll share some brief info and pictures about my mom and our family, but unfortunately, I don't have many photos to share because most of the old ones were damaged in the big flood that hit our house in 2012. Plus, our family didn’t have a camera to capture our memories.

Why does mom need a new wheelchair?
- Mom is dealing with Osteoarthritis, a type of knee pain, and she can’t walk like she used to.
- Mom's wheelchair is old, and some parts are broken. It makes her feel unsafe and makes it hard for her to move around.
- Mom is a bigger person and obese, so the current wheelchair doesn’t really work for her.
- She needs a special wheelchair designed for obese people, called a Bariatric Wheelchair.
- The wheelchair she’s using now causes chafing on her thighs, and the pain from that makes it hard for her to keep using it.
This fundraising is for the personal use of my mother and our family. The main goal of this donation is to buy my mom a new wheelchair, specifically a Bariatric Wheelchair, which costs around 4,000 to 5,000 USD. If there are excess funds, the money will be used to cover my mother's medical supplies, rent, and our family's expenses.
- I’m my mom’s only child, so it’s my responsibility to take care of her. Unfortunately, I can’t afford all her needs because I have a low income and also have to take care of my four kids.
- Mom can’t work because she’s unable to walk like she used to.
- Our monthly expenses are tied up with utility bills, medication, and high rent.
- The cost of buying a Bariatric Wheelchair is really high, and we can’t afford it or have any savings.
- Mom’s condition is getting worse, and she needs this wheelchair urgently.
- And the most important reason is that I love her so much. She’s an amazing person!
