Fatimah Palaney Bt. Abdullah, age 55

This is Fatimah Palaney Bt. Abdullah 55, and if you've been around the Lucky Gardens area in Bangsar, I'm sure you would have seen this midget-sized and physically challenged but determined little lady zooming silently in her electrically charged, battery operated wheelchair donated by some good Samaritans who pooled their resources together with what little Fatimah had saved, and helped purchase this "motorised" wheel-chair about 2 years ago. For that kind gesture she's still very grateful to all those who chipped-in.
Today she's not asking for hand-outs, as she's has a decent but meager income selling tissues, pens and even "nasi lemak" to supplement her livelihood. The Welfare Department does not give her any financial aid even though she's applied and approached them several times. Neither has her Assemblywoman ! I repeat.....neither has her Assemblywoman !
Pusat Zakat pays for her RM400 -a- month rented room in Jalan Cenderai. And that's the ONLY help she gets.

Today she's short of RM1,300. She needs this money to safe-guard herself daily from the many "near misses" she's escaped from reckless motorists who hardly notice her little self crouching in her noiseless wheelchair whizzing by. She needs to add a new battery with 2 front and rear lights, a rear-view mirror and a collapsible tray for her to place her wares of trade and an extra basket behind the seat for the spare battery and charging cables. She can even give you the break-down of how much each item costs. Go ask her yourself.

Contact Fatimah directly on her cell phone @ no: 013-2254 574 and talk to her. You don't have to sail a thousand miles to save the world. Save your fellow Malaysians first and when you've done enough here.... (which incidentally never ends.... !).... give yourself a pat on the back for doing your share of "humanitarian" work right here in your own backyard. You are the hero ! Contact her H/p no: 013-2254 574......she's praying and hoping someone call and help her !

Godbless !
