Human Stories: Mdm Khng

Mdm Khng, 93, is one of Food from the Heart’s beneficiaries. After her husband passed when she was 39, she became the sole bread-winner for her large household and had to work even harder to keep the family afloat. She now lives alone in a one-room rental flat, where she battles a whole host of medical issues and a difficult financial situation. To lighten her load, Food from the Heart supports her with the Community Food Pack, which is filled with food items and distributed monthly. Mdm Khng is also part of its Project Belanja! programme, which allows her to save the effort of cooking and order her preferred dishes from participating hawkers within close walking distance of her home instead. Listen to her story.
