Ragunathan, his wife Krishnavany and their sons have faced eviction, illness, and poverty.
Behind their innocent smiles lies a quiet longing for normalcy – a life like the other children around them. “Sometimes, when they see other kids dressed well, my boys feel sad,” shared their mother, Krishnavany Rajendran, 36, tears streaming down her face.
Childhood burns have left her husband’s torso scarred, limiting his arm movement. Now chronic spinal pain often forces him to take medical leave, making his factory wages irregular. There was a chance for surgery but he declined as it was too risky.
The family is being assisted by Suriana Welfare Society Malaysia, and Krishnavany is thankful for the pivotal role played by the NGO. “If I call them, they are willing to step forward to help us, no matter the situation,” she said, her voice brimming with gratitude.
Amount Fundraised: RM 186,000
Suriana Welfare Society Malaysia says Thank YOU to every individual and corporate who contributed to change the life of Ragunathan & Family for the better.
Every One Life changed is a testament to humanitarian victories.
