MONTHLY NEEDY FAMILY PROJECT - AUGUST

Project OC PP Joyce Cheah announced that LCGTM has continued its Needy Family project, which provides food supplies to families in need. The club has renewed its support for the same three families, namely: Munusamy, Tan Siew Poh & Family and Gan Bee Lay & Family, as they still need our assistance. LCGTM's objective was to help the families when the primary income earner have lost their job due to illness and/or accidents. The club will support them until they can stand on their own and sustain themselves.

On 3/8/2025 morning, Project Chair PP Joyce, PP Peter, and PP Sam visited the Homes of the three families. 

Mdm Gan Bee Lay, one of the needy families. The family was filled with joy when our members visited her with essential food items. 

Another family was Mdm Tan Siew Poh. She is the sole provider for her household. Previously employed as a cleaning officer, she has fallen ill and has been diagnosed with colon cancer, necessitating a colostomy operation. She now has a pouch on her stoma and is unable to work. Her husband is retired and not able to work.

Munusamy, who has had his right limb amputated due to diabetes and has recently lost his wife, relies on charitable NGOs and social welfare for assistance.
