Giving sight to Puan Hayati 9/4/2025

Puan Hayati Binti Man (74), a dedicated household cleaner, moved to Penang with her disabled son after the heartbreaking loss of her husband. They stayed in a small house owned by a friend without any rental. Struggling to make ends meet, they rely primarily on her late husband’s pension and her son’s social aid for survival. Recently, Puan Hayati’s eyesight has begun to deteriorate, adding another layer of hardship to her already challenging life. In search of assistance, she reached out to LCGTM, hoping for medical aid to restore her vision and secure a better future for herself and her son.
