Love @ Po Leung Kuk

For every mother, feeling her baby growing inside of her during the 10 months of pregnancy is one of life’s most incredible journeys. Ms. Yiu, soon to be the mother of Laam Laam, could not wait to welcome her little one and start their small family, Born prematurely at just 26 weeks, Laam Laam’s tiny organs were not yet ready for the world. He spent crucial months in the hospital fighting to survive and he requires round-the-clock care – a ventilator breathes for him at all times.   Laam Laam couldn’t run and jump like other kids in the past 6 years because he had to go to the hospital for various treatments. His ventilator must be monitored constantly. As such, Ms. Yiu had no choice but to leave her job to be Laam Laam’s full-time caregiver. While the financial, physical, and emotional demands soon became overwhelming, money grew tight as the income of Ms. Yiu’s husband alone could not cover Laam Laam’s expensive medical costs.   Professional team of Po Leung Kuk Chao King Lin Early Learning Centre is helping Laam Laam on his muscle training     Thankfully, she heard about the Po Leung Kuk Chao King Lin Early Learning Centre-Special Child Center. When the professionals of the center heard about Laam Laam’s circumstances, a dedicated team of physiotherapists, occupational therapists, childcare workers and social workers were fully geared up to provide holistic support for Laam Laam and his family. His performance on his speech, muscles and eating abilities were weaker than other children of his age at the beginning of training; however after 3 years of time at the center, Laam Laam made tremendous strides in developing his overall abilities.   Ms Yiu feels immensely grateful to Po Leung Kuk and the center for providing her family with comprehensive support She cherishes how their care gave her strength and courage to face each hurdle along this difficult journey. “Because if I did not hang in there with courage, who else could Laam Laam count on?” While uncertainty remains about the future of Yiu’s family, Po Leung Kuk will continue to support children with special needs and their families like Yiu’s family through the Kuk’s full backing in fostering children development and meeting their family needs.   With the assistance of Po Leung Kuk’s resources and generous contributions from donors, we are able to provide adequate and comprehensive training services for underprivileged children and families, safeguarding the children's growth and offering holistic support to families.  

因新型冠狀病毒疫情出現，影響整個社會及多個行業，作為家中經濟支柱的丈夫至今也只當過兩、三天散工，經濟負擔一下子變得沉重。面對收入驟減、前景不明，琪琪媽媽承受著生活上，以至情緒上的無比壓力。   琪琪媽媽比想像中堅強，她明白身為兩個女兒眼中的榜樣，要勇敢地守住這頭家，不讓情緒影響女兒開心的童年。   女兒琪琪就讀保良局幼稚園暨幼兒園幼兒班，去年疫情嚴峻，曾多次停課數月，長時間留在家中，琪琪媽媽要花更多時間照顧女兒、投注更多心力。例如女兒沒有上學，要額外準備平時由學校提供的奶粉、午餐等；丈夫沒工開閒待家中，沒有收入亦令婆媳關係惡化。生活上所有事情變得方寸大亂，使她很迷網，甚至手足無措。   「好感恩，好像伸手扶了我一把。」琪琪媽媽多謝保良局對她的支援，送上食物及營養包，補足小朋友基本營養需要；停課期間，老師每星期都會致電關心她們的近況，甚至提出可以把孩子送回學校暫託等支援。   保良局邀請您在這關鍵時刻伸出援手，支持保良局「關愛無限 ‧ 共跨逆境」扶弱計劃，為受影響的基層家庭，尤其是小朋友送上及時雨。   捐款支持
