Hope Place Kuching answers SOS from Anjung Singgah
KUCHING: Hope Place Kuching has come forward in response to Anjung Singgah’s call for help for a homeless senior citizen Siti Ting Abdullah, 71, currently residing at Anjung Singgah.
Siti was found living at a bus stop at the Kuching Waterfront last March. She has no known relatives nor a MyKad.
Siti’s health has deteriorated and has no control over her bowel movement and needed adult diapers. As the home could not provide it, Hope Place Kuching stepped up to help by donating a one- off supply of size L adult diapers.
Hope Place is an NGO that visits the poor and less fortunate families to contribute some essential food items like rice, cooking oil, sugar, salt, biscuits, and noodles. Plenty of these families or individuals barely earn enough to get through the month, hence many are grateful with the assistance of these basic necessities delivered to them. For the families with children with special needs or with elderly people, they provide milk powder and diapers as well.
Hope Place carries out aid deliveries once every two months because of the many families on their recipients list. Currently there are more than 170 families on the list.
For more information, call Hope Place at 013-567 2775 or 082 - 683378 from 8.30am - 12pm and 2pm - 5pm, Mondays to Fridays; and 9am to 12pm on Saturdays.
Should the public be interested to make a donation, please request for a receipt from the staff at Hope Place.
