DUMC Golf team helps single mum
Single mum Jaya was doing her studies in fashion designing
when her hubby abandoned her and their three kids leaving them all in the
lurch. Her parents stepped in to help out but it could not be for long since
that would deplete their hard earned savings for their own peaceful retirement
plans.
Things got a bit better when she got herself a clerical job
but last month, her world turned bleak when she was laid off by her boss who
was unhappy that she wouldn’t stay past her working hours to do overtime for
the company.
Jaya says that she can’t work longer hours because her two
younger sons, twins – Elijah and Issac have to be taken home from the baby
sitter’s house without undue delays and her eldest son Matthias need to be
supervised in his homework as well.
Sad, depressed and totally stressed out, she was urged to
contact PWP for assistance by DUMC’s Pastor Margaret. After some soul
searching, she realized that she needed an income generating source that would
allow her to earn her own living while still being able to spend time with her
sons.
One possible solution is for her to find a shoplot near
where she lives in Puchong, where she can run an op shop on her own, get her
items for sale and supplies from JS and work at her own flexi time. JS on its
part will help to equip the shop, pay for the two months rental deposit and
provide guidance and mentoring for those early periods.
As if on cue, DUMC’s golf club organizer Issac turned up at
JS that same afternoon to offer the full amount successfully collected from a
fundraising golf tournament known as DUMC Dream Cup, by its male members to the
tune of RM2,100. This will be the seed money for Jaya to start off her own
second hand shop and hopefully help her to become more entrepreneurial in the process.
On behalf of this very happy and grateful single mum, PWP
would like to say “:Thank you DUMC golfers and do keep the generosity ball
rolling over the various gold courses indeed.
