At just 24 years old, ๐๐ฎ๐ก๐๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ ๐
๐ข๐ค๐ซ๐ข ๐๐ข๐ง ๐๐ฅ๐ข๐๐ฌ carries the weight of an entire family on his shoulders. A construction worker from Puchong, Fikri is the main source of support for his elderly parents and a younger sister with mental disability living in Kedah.
Every month, from his modest income of ๐๐๐,๐๐๐ (๐ข๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ข๐ง๐ ๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ซ๐ญ๐ข๐ฆ๐), he sends ๐๐๐,๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐๐๐,๐๐๐ home โ often leaving little for himself. Yet today, Fikriโs ability to keep going is under threat.

Fikri has lived with recurring injuries to his right knee since his student days. In 2020, a football injury left him limping for months because he could not afford proper treatment. Subsequent falls in 2021 and 2023 further weakened the joint.
In June 2024, he slipped on a wet floor outside his home. His knee locked instantly, swelling within hours. The pain was unbearable. An MRI later confirmed a ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ญ๐๐๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐ โ an injury that requires surgery.

Fikri works at construction sites where constant walking and standing are unavoidable. Without surgery, his knee is unstable, weak, and painful. Doctors warn that delaying treatment could lead to permanent damage and early arthritis.
Although surgery was arranged at a government hospital, Fikri was required to pay ๐๐๐๐,๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ญ for the implant. His SOCSO application failed. With no savings, ongoing loan commitments, and no one left to borrow from, the surgery had to be postponed.

Fikri is young, hardworking, and responsible โ but like many in the B40 group, he has no safety net. His parents are retired, his siblings earn modest incomes, and his OKU sister depends on him for daily care needs.
Without surgery, he risks losing his ability to work. With it, he can stand, walk, and continue supporting his family with dignity.

The estimated cost of Fikriโs surgery was ๐๐๐๐,๐๐๐. Recognising the urgency of his condition and his financial constraints, ๐๐จ๐๐ข๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐, together with the ๐๐ฎ๐จ๐ค ๐

Following the operation and early rehabilitation, he has progressed well toward recovery. His knee is healing well, with improved stability, allowing him to walk more confidently and continue his rehabilitation with the goal of returning to work safely.
This is not just about repairing a knee.
It is about restoring stability โ for a young man determined to stand on his own feet, and for the family who depends on him every day.
