KUCHING: Sixteen-year-old disable Isaiah Santih ak Louis has gone through nine operations after he was knocked by a car on his way back from school in October last year. He sustained multiple injuries including head injuries.

Isaiah now needs a wheelchair, adult pampers (L size) and needs special Ensure milk (through tube feeding) apart from also needing 24-hour care. His mother Cecelia has no choice but to resign from her job to become full time caretaker for Isaiah.

Her caretaking job of the son includes feeding him milk through a tube every three hours daily. Isaiah’s father Louis works as a security guard earning only RM950 monthy. They stay at a rented room and paying RM380 every month. As such due to financial constraint, the family is not able to afford Isaiah’s special milk Ensure that costs between RM77 and RM85. And neither can the family afford adult pampers for him.

Yesterday Hope Place founder Kelvin Wan handed over a wheelchair, Ensure milk, adult pampers and some basic food to Isaiah in the presence of his mother Cecelia.

Hope Place carries out its aid deliveries once every three months because of the many families on their recipients list.

“Currently we support more than 200 families,” said Wan.
