Give the Gift of Hope
For many of us, having a job is the norm – the way to provide for our families and pursue our dreams. But for some, health challenges get in the way of work, making an ordinary routine an unachievable goal. Our Woodlands Health Fund beneficiary, Mr Hairul, is one such example.
With his mother undergoing treatment for cancer and father as the sole breadwinner, Mr Hairul needed to work to support his family. Yet, as a sufferer of obstructive sleep apnoea and obesity hypoventilation syndrome, Mr Hairul faced difficulties at work with constant low day time concentration, even blacking out from exhaustion. Mr Hairul also had breathing difficulties when sleeping, and these factors combined led to his resignation.
While motivated to improve his condition, treatment was too costly. The Woodlands Health Fund supported through provision of a BiPAP machine, giving Mr Hairul the opportunity for treatment. With BiPAP, Mr Hairul’s sleep apnoea was significantly improved, with increased daytime concentration and quality of life. He has also begun exercising and is determined to improve his health, so that he can eventually return to work.
Beneficiaries like Mr Hairul can strive to regain normalcy in their lives because of our generous donors. Every contribution, no matter the amount, holds the power to change lives.
