KUCHING (April 9): Hope Place has come to the aid of an unemployed single mother Norazlina Nasir, 35, and her six children.
Hope Place said in a statement yesterday they received a distress call from Norazlina asking for food aid for her and her children aged one-and-a-half to nine years old.
They are putting up a a friend’s house in Jalan Foochow here because they do not have one. Norazlina also could not look for a job as she has to look after the children. She also has no one to turn to except for a friend whose house they are putting up at.

Hope Place is helping Norazlina with basic food aid and milk powder for her children.
