失业后仍将现金补贴拿去照顾母亲,男子仅靠饮水充饥网友关注

疫情来的猝不及防,许多人受疫情影响失去工作,生活陷入困境。

在疫情期间,有民众发起自愿援助Hopes In Meals,以协助陷入困境的家庭度过难关为宗旨。近日该专页在脸书上发文,发现一名男子的心酸故事,除了要养活自己,还需要将为数不多的费用拿去照顾年事已高的母亲和生病姐姐,导致自己最后只能喝水充饥。

该名男子本是一名洗碗工,但因疫情的影响,失去了原本的工作,于是只能依靠拾荒过日子,但阻断措施下,也无法拿去售卖。

“有邻居发现他这几天面色苍白地坐在巴士站,然后这名邻居就告诉了我们他的情况”,帖文指出。

于是志愿者也慰问男子,并询问为何不以政府的现金补贴过活,一问之下,才得知原来男子将所有的补贴交给母亲和姐姐。

“我们也问他,为什么最近有政府现金补贴,但他还是没钱买食物。他说,他有个93岁的老母亲,姐姐也病了。他表示,他将所有的钱都交给姐姐以照顾年事已高的母亲,至于他也能省则省,只希望能够将钱省下来让他照顾家人。”

因此,当他表示,他在饥饿的时候,也只会以水充饥,让自己保持清醒。最后帖文也指出,这是他们决心帮助困难家庭的原因,也邀请民众加入到该计划中当义工或捐款,为贫困家庭提供餐点。

帖文一出,立即引起网民的关注,截至目前已被转发逾5千次,1千800赞。

据脸书专页指出,Hope in Meals 已经有超过2300人捐款,团体也已筹得超过9万元, 而目前是希望达到12万元。

尽管目前该计划仅在初始运作,但根据专页资料显示,该组织可能会能够尽量加大人力与资助,

“每一餐的花费是3元,我们会把饭送到老人家的家门口。我们希望可以提供午餐和晚餐。我们也希望有更多的义工可以加入我们。”

“在第一个月,我们需要12万元来帮助600名有需要的租屋年长人士,给他们提供两餐。”
