At 67, Akong Kwie An’s life has been shaped by pain and loss. Once a proud business owner, his world came crashing down when betrayal left him bankrupt. His family, the ones he thought he could count on, turned away, and his life was left in ruins. His only sibling moved far away with their family, leaving Akong to face the harsh realities of life all alone.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Now, Akong struggles just to get by. Every day, from dawn till dusk, he works as a laborer in a small shop, earning only Rp 150,000 (SGD 13) a week—barely enough to buy a meal. He’s grown frail, and his body is fighting against him. Akong has a chronic gastric condition that leaves him dizzy, weak, and in constant pain, but he can’t afford to rest. The thought of going hungry or being without a roof over his head pushes him to keep working, even when his body begs him to stop.
A few months ago, his health took a turn for the worse. Akong collapsed at work, unable to continue for weeks. For two whole months, he couldn’t go to work, couldn’t earn a living, and was left with nothing. His neighbors, the kind-hearted souls who saw his struggle, helped him out, offering him food to get by. But the generosity of others can only last for so long, and Akong knows this.
He doesn’t have much. No wife, no children, no family to turn to. Just the memories of a life that was once full of promise and the hope for something better. Now, he only wants peace in his final years—a warm meal, the care he needs for his health, and to live without the constant fear of hunger or pain. His home, once a place of comfort, is now a crumbling shell, and the days of hope seem far behind.
Akong’s wish is simple: to live the rest of his years without fear of tomorrow. But he can’t do it alone. Without help, his future is uncertain, and his struggle will continue.
He deserves so much more than this. With your help, Akong can get the care he needs, a warm meal every day, and the hope of living his final years with dignity and peace. He’s not asking for much, just the chance to live without constant pain or worry.
Let’s come together to help Akong—because he deserves better.
