曾患冠病客工中风瘫痪 客工亦重募款相助

相信是受到冠病19后遗症的影响,两名客工分别中风和心脏病发而瘫痪,本地客工组织“客工亦重”(TWC2)则协助募款相助。 40岁的卡纳坎(Guballa Kanakam)和38岁的西瓦(Balasubramaniyan Siva Vadivel),原本都是四肢健全的壮汉,也没有潜在疾病,却突然中风和心脏病发作。 无症状感染 医生诊断发现他们此前曾感染冠病,但由于是无症状,他们自己也毫不知情。 据客工亦重叙述,至少四名客工,在冠病影响下面对长期血栓(long-term thrombotic)后遗症,其中就包括上述二人。 卡纳坎半身不遂无法说话,但西瓦也同样卧床不起无法说话。客工组织称,他们很可能无法完全康复,不能再扛起养活家人的担子,家中也有老小要照顾。 此前有数万客工受感染,也可能会有客工面对后遗症的影响,带来的候国仍是令人心疼的。 客工亦重则呼吁热心人士捐款,截至目前为止已筹获1万7千余新元的善款。如有意捐献可点击此链接:(https://give.asia/campaign/help-two-migrant-workers-seriously-ill-after-covid-19#/)…
