It’s hard to believe that there are so many people still struggling not only to put food on their tables, but a roof over their heads as well.
Ustaz Ebit Lew recently took to his Facebook page to share about a family living in a run-down hut in Johor, after their home was burnt down.
Menangis sayu di Kg Parit Sulaiman Pontian Johor tengok rumah usang atau sebenarnya cuma macam pondok buruk. Sepasang...

In the caption, he said: “I am crying. Here at Kampung Parit Sulaiman, Pontian, Johor, and I met with this family who is living under this hut. A husband and a wife with their children have been living in this condition for over 4 years now.
“The husband has kidney problems and nerve issues, while his wife is also very ill. They are always commuting to the hospital for treatment. There are a lot of mosquitos in the area and there is no electricity in their hut. There’s also no windows or doors, just covered with a piece of cloth,” he said.
Ustaz Ebit also said that the kids had nowhere to play, so they are just running around the hut area and playing with materials that could be hazardous to them.

“I see this child running around on broken wood with no shoes on. When I arrived, the family said that they had tried contacting me, but they were unable to reach me. They were glad to see me and I was glad I met them. Thankfully, they are getting RM400 financial assistance every month.
“I am happy to meet with a contractor who is willing to help me build a home for them with a very reasonable price. We will be going to the hardware shop tomorrow to start building them their new home. We will start tomorrow, and will try to finish it before Eid,” he further said.

We’re so glad that Ustaz Ebit Lew found them and that they will be getting a proper home, just in time to celebrate Hari Raya!
Thank you, Ustaz Ebit Lew, for all that you do! You are an inspiration!
