In a heartwarming post, a soup kitchen in Kuala Lumpur shared that a former regular of theirs recently returned to thank them for helping him when he was homeless
Last Wednesday, 21 June, Kechara Soup Kitchen (KSK) shared that the man came back to their kitchen to gift the team a box of Musang King durian in appreciation of all the help they gave him during his days as a homeless man.
"This is Mr Lee, an ex-client. He was previously homeless and received hot food that KSK provides daily," the soup kitchen wrote.
The non-governmental organisation (NGO) said that they had helped him replace his MyKad last year, which led him to get a job, rent a room, and eventually, rebuild his life.
They also proudly shared that Lee had previously returned to gift them two packets of orange juice when he received his first pay cheque
"We are so happy that Mr Lee is now living a life of self-worth and self-dignity," they said.
The organisation also thanked their many supporters who have helped made their service to the community, and individuals such as Lee, possible.
"Thank you to all the donors and volunteers who have been a part of the KSK Society to have enabled this," read the post that has garnered over 15,000 reactions and expressions of gratitude from the public.
KSK is a non-religious and not-for-profit NGO dedicated to serving marginalised communities in Malaysia
Not discriminating in the help they give, KSK has assisted vulnerable demographics such as the homeless, urban or rural poor, and Orang Asli via their soup kitchen, food bank, and empowerment programmes for over 15 years.
In another recent Facebook post, KSK said their food bank is a lifeline for over 700 struggling families, to whom they provide essential food items, such as rice, cooking oil, and canned food, every six weeks.
However, they can only help the large number of families that they always do with the support of dedicated volunteers.
