KUCHING: Hope Place has helped a 74-year-old man who lives alone at a shop lot along the Kuching Waterfront.

“Hope Place is helping Yusof with supplies of food aid once every three months,” it said.
It added that Yusof was renting a small room on the top floor of the shop.
“He has converted the tiny room to become his home with clothes hanging in one corner, a mattress next to a wall and a cooking area on the opposite side,” it said.
Hope Place added that Yusof had three adult children. One of them is living in Miri and another in West Malaysia.
