So my buddy is in his mid 40s, full time Grab driver suffered a stroke recently, now half of body is paralyzed, so definitely cannot drive Grab for a least a few months or worst case, forever.
and while admitted to hospital due to stroke, they've discovered his kidneys are failing as well, and he'll need to start dialysis asap...

Problem is he's the sole breadwinner for his family, has a foreign wife that can't drive (can't get driving license too due to her eyesight issues) with very limited academic qualification and limited work experience, and an elderly mom

Previously he has gotten into some very bad financial issues until he got declared bankrupt, luckily he got AKPK and well-to-do friend to bail him out from those bad shits

Now we're seeing him starting to regain back his footings, but then life is cruel, it gave him a stroke and failed kidneys sad.gif

He has near zero savings as his monthly incomes all goes to paying debts and support his family, and now with no income?

We the friends also has no idea on how to start to assist them, we can chip in for some financial assistance for the time being, but not forever as each of us also has problems of their own...

Does SOCSO cover this? also and which welfare dept they should seek help from?

thanks, browsing thru the jkm now... seems we'll need to help to apply for OKU card now...

but the monthly payout from jkm is only RM300, that's not even enough to cover for 1 week expanses

For Socso, I heard is compulsory for every Grab driver, anyone can confirm?

Sorry to hear this

But he should be covered by Socso

https://soyacincau.com/2021/07/24/grab-and-...t-is-it-enough/

Socso also provides for free dialysis treatment using thier panel clinics.

You should also check with the National Stroke Foundation NASAM which provide free therapy for recovering stroke patients.
