Ms. R. Rajeswary (16 years old), a form five student
February 8, may be a good day for everybody...but not for R. Rajeswary. At about 10:15 on that fateful morning, her brother went to fetch her on his motorcycle. Unfortunately her jacket was got in the wheel and her left arm was dragged into the motorcycle wheel and crushed. She was immediately rushed to hospital. However, after 6 hours struggling with pain at the emergency ward of Kuala Lumpur General Hospital, her crushed hand could not be saved and had to be amputated.
Her life is incomplete with only one arm.
Mohamad Sha'ari Bin Kulop Maarof, a 54 years old bachelor from Taman Rimba, Ampang.
En. Sha'ari, a cook by profession, is a diabetic.
Due to the progressive degenerative nature of the disease, on August 7, , his right leg was amputated below the knee.
He is currently unemployed but he is hoping to work again with the prosthetic leg.
In conjunction with Valentine's Day yesterday, the Atria Shopping Centre organized a Caring and Sharing : Valentine's Day Charity Programme to raise funds for two needy Malaysians.
Jointly organized by the Petaling Jaya Community Centre, Malaysian Volunteer Fire & Rescue Association, Sweet Florist and McClient Florist, the event was launched by Deputy Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Ong Tee Keat.
The aim is to raise RM10,000 to help Mohd Shaari Kulop Maarof and R. Rajeswary lead a better life.
Mohd Shaari, 54, a former cook, is diabetic and lost his right leg below the knee last year.
Meanwhile, 16 year old Rajeswary lost her left arm last February after she was caught in the rear wheel of a motorcycle.
Yesterday, Ong presented the duo with their prosthetic limbs.
