2 young lives, 2 long roads through treatment

Four-year-old Long Yu Hao is battling T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia in Kuala Lumpur, while eight-year-old Jia Xuan is managing spinal muscular atrophy in Kuching. Both families face the challenge of long-term treatment costs beyond hospital visits. Yu Hao's mother, Lim Eng Yung, has left her job to accompany him to hospitals, and the family is still short of RM20,000 in needed support.

Jia Xuan's parents, Voon Jian Jian and Yu Kong Chai, have been searching for treatment options for her rare genetic condition and now need RM150,000 to cover medication for the next three years.
