JOHOR BARU: Four years ago, Tan Gim Wai was earning a steady income to support his family. As the sole breadwinner, Tan’s sudden loss of income puts his family in financial hardship. He said he could no longer support his wife, three young children and elderly ­parents. I hope to one day stand up again, bring my children back and unite my whole family,” Tan said. Ho said the organisation is now assisting the family with fundraising for the surgery and has been in touch with Tan’s doctor to explore more affordable post-surgery physiotherapy options.
