ID: 012
Name: Chua Xin Wei/Vivian
Date of Birth: 22/9/1985
Age: 38
Ethnicity: Chinese
State: Johor
Gender: Female
Family Background: Raised by grandmother
Medical Condition: Stroke (weakness in all four limbs)

Vivian’s parents divorced when she was young. Her father worked away from home for extended periods and rarely returned. She lost contact with her mother entirely. Raised solely by her grandmother, Vivian lived with her aunt, feeling like a burden and experiencing an unhappy childhood. After completing her secondary education, she moved to Kuala Lumpur to work.

Unfortunately, over two years ago, she suffered a stroke and underwent brain surgery. She was in a coma for three weeks post-surgery. Currently, she has weakness in all four limbs, with one side of her body being particularly affected. Fortunately, a friend has allowed Vivian to stay in their office, although the conditions are far from ideal. She has fallen several times with no one around to help, forcing her to get up on her own. She has been relying on borrowed money from friends to get by.

When we visited her at the office, it took her seven to eight minutes just to open the door. She spoke with great difficulty, which was heartbreaking for us to witness. Our center decided to support Vivian through this challenging period. Since joining us, Vivian always wears a smile and actively engages with other members. She has become a source of joy in our center.
