Foster Parents' Day @ Cheshire Home

On 6/9/2025, the LCGTM Lions participated the Foster Parents' Day at Cheshire Home. OC Tyson Yeap reported that the event was graced by Toh Puan, the Governor of Penang. All necessary protocols were followed, and shortly thereafter, the program commenced with a delightful performance by several residents of the Home, which has 29 males and 25 females. Our club sponsored Ms. Cheah Soo Ee, aged 34, who is diagnosed with Neurodivergent Congenital Autism. 

This has been the club's yearly project, where we sponsor one resident for RM360 per year. Attending the event were OC PP Tyson, PP Joyce Cheah, and PP Samantha Sam. GST Coordinator Lion Soon was also in attendance.

 

Another Life touched by the LC of George Town Mutiara

The Lions of LCGTM recently visited Madam Hoo Boy Heang, 71, at her medium-cost flat; a home left behind by her late husband, who once worked as a hawker stall assistant. Despite life’s challenges, Madam Hoo has remained resilient, supported by her daughter, an OKU who bravely works as a Grab driver to help sustain the household. In recent years, Madam Hoo has endured severe knee pain that has greatly diminished her mobility and independence. The discomfort has not only affected her physical health but also taken a toll on her emotional well-being.

Moved by her situation, LCGTM stepped in to assist. The club referred Madam Hoo to Pantai Hospital Penang for a medical examination, where her case was subsequently approved for surgery under the Live Renewed programme. Thanks to the generosity of Pantai Hospital Penang and the expertise of Orthopaedic Specialist Dr. Boon Huck Wee, Madam Hoo received the knee replacement she so urgently needed.

LCGTM extends its deepest gratitude to Pantai Hospital Penang and Dr. Boon Huck Wee for their unwavering support and kindness. Together, we have once again made a meaningful difference in the life of someone in need; restoring hope, dignity, and the possibility of renewed independence.

LCGTM’s Medical Aid Assistance

Since the launch of LCGTM’s Medical Aid Assistance Fund 2010, every month the club received applications from individuals seeking medical aid support. Each application was reviewed with care and compassion, ensuring that deserving applicants receive the help they need. Last month, the club received an application from Mdm Letchmy. On 1/9/2025, being a holiday,  most of the Lions were unable to join her, OC PP Lily Teoh personally visited the applicant's home to understand her situation better. PP Lily persevered and spent nearly three hours reviewing Mdm Letchmy’s financial details and asking thoughtful questions to assess her needs. This act of dedication reflects the spirit of service that defines our club—where every effort is made to ensure that no one is left behind in their time of need.

1/9/2025 LCGTM - Continues Its Mission to Support Needy Families

Thanks to the generosity of the Kuok Foundation, our club received 2 months of sponsorship for our Needy Family Project commencing August 2025. The club will provide groceries and basic necessities to help ease their daily burdens of three needy families. In addition to this essential support, we extended a thoughtful gesture to Mdm Tan Siew Poh by purchasing a stand fan to ease her discomfort and improve her living conditions.

This small act of kindness helped relieve some of her hardship and brought comfort to her daily life—reminding us that compassion, even in simple forms, can make a meaningful difference.

OC Joyce said that the three families need assistance as they are unable to stand on their own. Our commitment remains strong: to walk beside them with empathy, dignity, and hope.
