Wishing Well Programme

"Remember, we all stumble, every one of us. That's why it's a comfort to go
hand in hand." - Emily Kimbrough

Subhanallah... a few days ago I received 2 t shirts from a great sportswomen , Ms. Shalin Zulkifli, who despite of her tight and busy schedule, spare her time in giving support to Azmer. Azmer is a 16 years old boy, who is currently undergoing bone cancer treatment at a hospital in Kelantan. Azmer loves bowling. He used to play bowling before being diagnosed of having bone cancer. Oh yes.. he is the boy who I post before... who lost his father due to cancer too.

Ms. Shalin does not know me personally.. kudos to Mr. Lukman Jasril who immediately text Ms. Shalin, once he heard of my intention.

Allah listen to every words that we said.. either silently in our heart.. or when we voice out loud..Subhanallah..

To Ms. Shalin Zulkifli, thank you so much for the thoughtful gift. I pray for your success in everything that you do. You have made Malaysia proud with great achievements.. and honestly, no words can describe the joy in his voice when I told him what you have done. May Allah bless you ..Always....

Note: Mr. Lukman Jasril Hamzah is the person who gave the name WISHING WELL. He actually proposed "Wishing Well Foundation"... I changed it to "Programme". Reason.... "Foundation" is tooooooooooo huge for me

Thank you Jaa.. for being such a great friend, and for supporting from the very beginning :) May Allah bless you..

To all of you out there... may Allah bless you....... take care

I knew about her through friends. A chirpy young girl.. she was interviewed by Mr. Hj Aznil Hj Nawawi recently. " Dia ni ceria la..." Even though the memory is a bit blury in my mind... I believe that was what he said.

Specially Yours # 4 reached me last week. Insya Allah.. she will be getting it in a few days.

Project "Specially Yours" is not a donation drive. I am only helping the loving people out there ( most of them have become my friends ) to spread their love and care for the children in need...

Thank you K.Nor.. May Allah bless you

"Kalau kat telefon,boleh cakap banyak.. kalau tengok muka malu.." That was what he said to me. He is shy every time he sees me in person.. but over the phone, he will tell me a lot of stories.

He is a 13 years old boy, who is fighting bravely like every little heroes in the ward that I know. His mom also carries a character that I admire. She is always smiling and joking with me. Deeply in her heart and in her mind, I believe there will be 1001 things lingering around, but she never fails to give me a priceless smile... may Allah bless her..

He is the recipient for Specially Yours #3. It touched my heart every time my friends called me and asked..." Do you think gift like this will make the children smile...? " or.. any questions that are similar to that.

To know that the world is still full of love is a blessing. Syukur alhamdulilah....

Dear Is, I am handing this to the nurses at the ward .. they will pass it to him during his weekly visit

May Allah bless you all...wherever you are... :)

Regardless how rocky the road is... how strong the wind blows... how loud the thunder roar... she never give up.

Her courage is something I admire. She is not a who's who .. who appears on the front page of a newspaper.

She is a mother. Trying her best to provide a good life for her children.

As the son is in constant pain nowadays, she has to stop working. Waiting for a welfare contribution alone is not her way. She build up her confidence, with a strong spirit.. she started selling things she knows best.

She is selling kuih siput ( a traditional malay crisps made of flour, margarine and spices ). By doing this, she can have her eyes on her son.. as well as making the ends meet.

Well.... kuih siput ..anyone ?

Note :

From the bottom of my heart, the description above ( the first 3 lines ) is not only a tribute to her.. it is a tribute to my mother.. my relatives... my friends.. and to all of you, who are mothers/aunties/guardians.

With an extra of RM50 in my purse, my mind will be wandering, thinking of a trip to Kinokuniya and a stop over at Dome for coffee.

For this mother, RM50 will be able to cover the round trip taxi fare from her house to the hospital.

However, she could not afford spending RM50 on taxi. That could cover a week of groceries. Hmm.. with everything becoming costly now, I doubt it.

The normal route will be... first, taking a bus from their house to the nearest lrt station. Next, taking lrt (Putra). Then change over at Masjid Jamek for STAR line. Lastly, hop into a cab, heading to hospital.

They are not going to hospital for a simple check up. The son is undergoing radiotherapy.

I am skipping buying a book this month and a drink at Dome. It can wait.

I am hoping and praying there will be a way for the patient and the mother...
InsyaAllah... All praise to Him

Note : The son will be going for 15 times of radiotherapy = 15 days.

The son is battling a last stage cancer...

The daughter, the hope of the family... will be sitting for the final exam next week.. ( her birthday is next week too )

The two little ones... too young to understand what is going on..

Little kiddo asked , " kenapa ibu menangis ? ".. on her behalf I answered, " ibu sakit gigi ".

I lied.

The father chose to leave his family.

Easy way out.

I am very sorry to be a bit emotional about this.. but I am just a human. However, this anger will have to end now. I have no right to interfere in anyone's personal matter. Astaghfirullahalazim..

Children have the right to be happy. I hold strongly to that. The last thing the son need is a broken heart before his next radiotherapy. Therefore, spontaneously, I asked them, " Cuti sekolah nak pegi jalan-jalan kat Aquaria tak ? " They said yes :) It will be on Sunday (22/11), a day before the museum trip, insyaAllah..

InsyaAllah..I hope some how, some way.. Allah will help me to get the funding (never before I do 2 major programmes continuously for 2 days )

I pray and hope that there will be a rainbow for this family.. insyaAllah... May Allah bless them....

Note: The mother is selling "kerepek", as she can not work due to her son illness

She is a cute, smart cheeky little girl. Loves to sing, she is the entertainer at the ward.Honestly speaking.. she is ADORABLE!! Little Hani Liyana is an ALL ( Acute Lymphoblastik Leukimia ) patient, 4 years old. She was jumping up and down when she saw me at the ward the other day. Betul.. tak tipu :) Seorang kanak-kanak yang sangat manja & ceria.

I would not know what kind of treatments can help her, what medicine can cure her... but I know prayers are something that you & I can give. Not forgetting, I can try by widening the wings of the project that I have started a few weeks go.

Specially Yours #2 reached Adik Yana on Monday. Last week was her 4th birthday.

Her mom sent me the pictures in this post.

Her smile says it all.....

Happy Birthday Yana. We love you :)

Note 1 :Zack dearie, some of the items that you passed to me are in that parcel I sent to Adik Yana. May Allah bless you :)

Note 2 :This is what her mom wrote to me "yana still tell everyone that she got AZ card !!" Those who know Mr. Shahrul Anuar Zain, please tell him, he made her day :) thank u..

Thank you everyone.. may Allah bless you..
