I consider myself really fortunate. This is the first time I receive a food basket. I hope the government and the village chief will continue to help more needy people like us. Thank you for taking care of us.

I would like to thank the government for providing us with the food baskets. I have been suffering from seizures for nearly my entire life. Since I cannot work, this assistance is quite beneficial for me. I hope the government will continue to help us in future.
Halimah Khamis
This is the third time I am receiving a food basket from the government. This time, I was surprised that they also gave me a walking frame for my mother’s convenience at home. I am grateful for the aid. I am sure the government will continue to help the people.
Hajijah Abdul Latip
The food basket is a good initiative by the government. It helps to ease the burden of our family. We have many dependents. I am grateful and hope that such assistance will continue in the future.

I am very lucky to have been chosen to receive the food aid. It greatly reduces our financial burden as my husband is our family’s main provider.
Ambi Sirat
I have a stoma and have been confined to a wheelchair for about two years now. Because the wheelchair I had before was in a bad shape following the first flood, the gift of a new wheelchair has made it easier for me to move around. I would like to thank the government for giving us what we really need.
