GIFT OF LIFE SOCIETY ADVISERS协会顾问简介

Mr Loo Soon Tow

我与Elvin和Wendy, 因为业务结下了长达33年的情谊，即是商业伙伴，也是志趣相投的好友。这10年来，每次相聚他们都会与我分享弱势社群所面对的种种问题，以及他们对援助弱势社群的各种计划和梦想。他们对弱势社群的这份不求回报的关怀和协助，令我感动不已，也连续多年以个人微薄的力量响应他们的号召。如今，“生命的礼物”协会正式成立了，对于能受邀为协会顾问我深感荣幸，希望自己的奉献能让更多的弱势社群受惠。 Elvin and Wendy were my close friends for over 33 years. They will always update us on OKU needs. I was very touched by them running around raising funds and neglecting their business. Hence, I have been personally supporting them over 10 years. I am happy to be an advisor as they are genuine & sincere people

Mr Lee Thung Hing

我与Elvin和Wendy的友谊可以追溯至30年前，我们曾经是事业上的伙伴。大约10年前，我开始响应由他们所发起的慈善活动，包括为残障人士筹募辅助设备、捐助老人院、孤儿院以及为天灾灾黎等等。陈艳珍对慈善活动的投入令我敬佩和感动，为了筹获足够的款项她可以放下自己的事业和身段，不分昼夜四处奔波筹款。期间，她也常与我分享如何被人拒绝甚至就辱骂的经历，但是，想起弱势社群对她的期盼，她从不言放弃。对她的这份执著和善心，我深深感动，也因此应允受邀为“生命的礼物”协会的顾问。希望协会能得到普罗大众的热烈支持与响应，造福更多的弱势社群。 I am Lee Thung Hing, a former business partner & know Elvin and Wendy for more than three decades. They are known for helping OKU, old folks and orphans. In 2004, I attended a tsunami lunch fund raising by Wendy. She could spend two whole days not working from morning to evening just to entertain customers having vegetarian food for fund raising. Their kind hearted way touched me and I began to help them raising fund by getting contributions of wheelchairs for the past few years. I accepted the advisor invitation to help more needy people.

筹委会主席郑丽媚女士献词 Message From The Organising Chairman Madam Tee Lay Bee

欣然的在今年初，"生命的礼物协会“ 获得注册局批准成立，今晚的成立典礼暨慈善晚宴，除庆祝协会的诞生，更是见证

轮椅捐助者亲自将轮椅交于受惠的体障朋友。不论施与受，或见证的人，都将沉浸在温馨的气氛中。随着历年来的工作，对体障朋友的帮助还是占在需求名单里的首位。从来，筹钱的工作不是容易。间中，我们遇上了各种问号和感叹号, 有者抱着怀疑态度，毕竟还是一个新的协会，但有更多朋友不断地为我们加油！此次的筹款目标是20万零吉，用以应付来年的开支和所将进行的慈善活动。轮椅种类不同。一般普通型的只能用在短程的推动，常用于医院病人，根本不能长年累月供体障朋友的使用。为了能自己操纵，自立更生，体障朋友需要的是电动轮椅、医疗座垫、特别的轻型轮椅、背部可倾斜的轮椅、3或4轮电动车deng。轮椅有别，自然价格也有落差........但有了这些辅助品，我们看见了体障朋友有能力自已去上班，甚至开始小本生意。这就是我们帮助的意义呀！谨此，我代表筹委会感谢各位的慷慨捐助，不只是来到现场的你们，还有很多默默付出，出钱出力，帮助与赞助体障朋友，老人院长者，和福利院的小朋友们的好朋友们。我们也感谢我们的会长，为答谢各位善长人翁，不惜掏腰包赞助今晚晚宴表演，请得我国扬名国际，荣獲国际奖状认证的年轻四兄妹组合，MRGJC Quest组合呈现国际水準的魔术、变脸、歌唱，舞蹈。体障朋友更是让我们驚喜，他们能在轮椅上跳出优美的舞蹈！我们还有盲人歌唱家呢！表面上我们是在帮助他们，他们何尝不是也在教育着我们呢？感谢您的到来与不啬指教，敬备薄酌，不成敬意，也希望我们能回馈给你一个欢乐温馨的夜晚和一场精彩的表演。每个人都可以是另外一个人的天使。我们只是尝试在做一些好事，我相信好事可以制造好的气场，鼓励更多更好的事！谢谢！

I am pleased to inform "Gift Of Life Society" was been approved & registered by ROS (Registrar Of Society, Malaysia) early this year. Tonight is the launching cum charity dinner besides celebrating the birth of the "Gift Of Life Society", but also to witness personally the presentation of wheelchairs & other community needs' to each recipient by the donors themselves. I hope everyone will be immersed in our warm atmosphere of giving & receiving. Raising funds is not an easy task as we have faced doubts and sceptical remarks. On the other hand, many friends assisted us & discourage us from giving up. This fund raising target of RM200,000.00 will help to pay for next year's expenses and charitable activities. There are many types of wheelchairs eg a normal wheelchair is only suitable for hospital patients and it is not suitable for daily OKU or disabled friends use as they need to manoeuvre it themselves. Physical-barrier friends need electric or motorised wheelchairs. Other OKU requirements are such as medical cushion, special light-weight wheelchair, back tillable wheelchair, 3 or 4 wheel motorcycle etc. These aids, will enable them the ability to work independently or even start a small business. This is the meaning of our way in help them. On behalf of our Committee, we sincerely thank you for your generous donations, attending our function & also helping to sponsor our OKU friends, old folks and orphans. We also thank our President, Ms Wendy Chan who has graciously paid for tonight international performance by MRGJC Quest team (4 siblings) magic show, face changing, singing, dancing & etc. Thank you to OKU wheelchairs dancing & our blind singer for their performance. Thank you for your attendance and we hope you will enjoy tonight's performance. Everyone can be another person's angel by some good actions. A simple good action can create a good atmosphere which will encourage more people to do good deeds. THANK YOU

生命的礼物协会会长陈艳珍女士献词 Message From The President Madam Wendy chan

每个人在人生的旅途上，总有一些期盼已久的东西或是想要实现的梦想。当我们如愿以偿时，那份喜悦肯定是令人雀跃万分的。但是对弱势社群，比如体障朋友而言，他们最渴望的是拥有行动的自由，自立更生的机会，减少对他人的依赖。然而，事实是如果没有社会人士的关心和支援，很多时候，他们的愿望往往是遥不可及的。这十年以来，我都很庆幸的得到很多朋友们的帮助和鼓励，在我们在能力范围以内，伸出援手，为他们献出爱心与关怀，协助他们追求梦想。经过多年的耕耘与努力，我付出了一些，得到了更多。但我了解到，个人的力量是有限的，我必须汇聚更大的力量才能协助更多的人。于是，我开始著手筹办“生命的礼物协会”非盈利慈善团体。在一群热心好友的协助下，“生命的礼物协会”终于在2013年3月5日获得马来西亚社团注册局的批审(社团注册编号: PPM-028-10-05032013)。这对我而言是一份莫大的肯定和喜悦，我们的原则是--- 要以专业和透明的方式来经营 “生命的礼物协会”，以造福全马来自不同生活背景、种族、宗教与信仰的弱势社群。我们严守一个信念，所谓“生命的礼物”是确确实实生命的礼物，是受惠者真正需要的。比如体障者，他们最大的害怕是自己成为别人的负担。他们需要的是适合自己，可以更好的自己活动，不再依赖别人的辅助器。因此，你们今晚看见了台上各类不同的轮椅，其中，论价格，很多还是出乎我们的想象呢，但这些都将是体障朋友下来得以有效改善生活素质，自力更生，找回生活价值的礼物啊！谨此，我代表体障朋友谢谢各善长人翁真诚的轮椅赞助，非常谢谢你们！随着“生命的礼物”协会的成立，我们希望可以将这份力量推展开来，让更多的弱势社群得到关爱！我们马不停蹄的策划和开始我们的活动。探访孤老幼小，体障弱势，受虐妇女，原住民，均是我们列在首位的关怀活动。我们希望能通过这些活动拉近人们与弱势社群的距离，促进彼此之间的谅解，同时唤起普罗大众对弱势社群的关心。感谢理事们更是在百忙之余，尽心尽力，甚至自掏腰包为活动付出，为探视与给予弱势社群需要的，真正的‘生命的礼物“ 而乐在其中！这真叫我非常感动！ “生命的礼物协会”是一个非盈利慈善团体，我们所举办的所有活动经费和义款均由公众人士捐献。筹款的路上有喜有乐，有悲有泪，间中有朋友的误解，有公众的置疑，但也有更多更多的鼓励和赞美！我本人相信，慈善是个有钱出钱，有力出力的工作。弱势社群只是需要我们的一些支持与鼓励，他们不是在乞讨。我希望社会可以继续教育，不再用有色眼光看他们，也不再假装视而不见！我们乐于扮演一个中间的桥梁，让爱的力量流传、壮大！我们在此呼吁公众人士踊跃捐献或参与我们的活动，将关怀与爱心献给国内的弱势社群，超越种族、宗教和信仰，共同努力缔造充满爱的社会。撰写本文的当儿，我又实现了自己的另一梦想，我国财政部批准了“生命的礼物协会”长达5年（2014年至2018年）的捐款免税申请，相信这将有助于我们未来的募款活动，惠及更多的弱势社群。

Everyone has dreams! We get excited when dreams come true. Our disabled friends’ dream is freedom of movement, self-reliance opportunities as well as reducing dependence on others . Their dream is hard to fulfil without community help. For the past 10 years, I was fortunate to have a group of supportive friends who gave love and care to our disabled friends by helping to achieve their dreams. Over the years, I discovered the limited power of an individual. Hence, a group of enthusiastic friends started "Gift of Life Society" - a non-profit organisation to reach out & assist more disable people. With great joy & affirmation, ‘Gift Of Life Society’ was approved & registered March 5, 2013 by the Malaysian Registrar of Societies (PPM-028-10-05032013). Our principle is to enhance community awareness professionally and transparently in aiding Malaysian needy without regards to race, creed or religion. "Gift of Life" is gift of hope! Disabled friends biggest fear is to burden others. Your gift of support has realised their mobility dreams & needs. These different types of aids such as wheelchairs, medical cushions and other aids help recipients to be self-reliance or independence & finding new life values. Thank you for your generous contributions and sponsorship. Thank You very much again! We hope to expand our activities by visiting lonely old folks, orphanage homes, OKU, battered women, indigenous people and others. These activities help to narrow the distance between people and the underprivileged to promote mutual understanding between the general public as well as arousing concern for the disadvantaged. All our activities are fully funded by public monetary contributions. It is not easy to raise funds as it filled with sorrow and tears, misunderstandings by friends, public doubts and others. We dofind encouragement and praise from sincere friends, relatives and the public in our mist! I hope the community will be educated to reach out to help by not ignoring our social responsibility! We appeal to the public to actively donate or participate in our activities, care and love beyond race, religion and belief by creating a loving community. I am also happy & grateful in announcing that Gift Of Life Society was given tax exemption for 2014-2018 from our Government which will help encourage more people to contribute by helping more people in need. 5

马华公会副总会长, 前财政部副部长拿督林祥才献词 Message From The Vice President of MCA Ex-Deputy Finance Minister - Datuk Donald Lim

我谨此祝贺‘生命的礼物协会’于2013年3月在陈艳珍女士的领导下正式成立。 "生命的礼物" 十年以来在陈艳珍女士的默默耕耘下，为体障朋友筹募了各种辅助品，依个人所需提供了相关的轻便型轮椅，电动轮椅，三轮摩托车等等。"生命的礼物" 目的不僅於物资帮助，更是要鼓励体障朋友在得到这些辅助品之后能回到社会，自力更生，找回自己的价值。程序上，陈女士也进行了非常认真的审查和按照个人所需批准有关的辅助，堪称是一份非常专业的‘生命的礼物’! 谈起陈艳珍女士，我不得不提起在2004年, 她以个人力量，租了一家素食馆，举办为期两天的“乐捐享素食”为海啸灾民筹集一万令吉，这是多么难得的一个社会天使呀！惊讶之余，她得到了我最崇高的敬意！从此，她的工作重心与话题总是离不开体障朋友，老人，孤儿。‘生命的礼物协会’的成立是我们社会的福气，我相信有了这一股更强大的力量，将让爱延至更多的群体，造福更多的人！陈艳珍女士这10年以来的努力已经获得了政府的关注和认可！政府最近更通过了授予‘生命的礼物协会’2014至2018财政年度捐款免税收权益，以行动进一步表示支持协会的努力，也鼓励民众慷慨捐助，支持和帮助更多有需要的人！促进爱和关怀社会，人人有责！‘生命的礼物协会’的成立让我们看到了一个社会榜样。有一分力，发一分光! 不管在哪个社会角落，我们都可以是别人的天使！

I would like to congratulate the establishment of 'Gift of Life Society' in March 2013 under the leadership of Miss Wendy Chan. For the past 10 years, Ms Wendy Chan has been quietly promoting 'Gift Of Life' to raise fund for the body impaired people, according to individual needs to provide the relevant lightweight wheelchair, motorised wheelchair, three or four-wheeled motorcycles, etc... "Gift of Life" not only aims to provide material help, but also to encourage the body impaired people in getting these supplements can return to society after self-reliant and find their value. Ms. Wendy Chan and her group also carried out very carefully reviewed and approved in accordance with relevant supporting personal needs, and is a very professional 'Gift of Life' as named for those recipients! Talking about Miss Wendy Chan, I had to bring back in 2004, she, at her personal level, rented a vegetarian restaurant to organise a two-day's "Enjoy Vegetarian Food & Donate" for the tsunami victims to raise ten thousand ringgit, which is how rare a social angel Yeah! She got my highest respect! Since then, her focus is always inseparable from the topic with impaired people, the elderly, orphans. The establishment of 'Gift of Life Society' is the blessings of our society, I believe that with the shares of more powerful force, let love be extended to a wider audience, and benefit more people! Ms Wendy Chan's efforts in the past 10 years, have gained attention and recognition from the Government. The Government recently granted Gift Of Life Society' tax exemption for the year 2014 - 2018 to further express its support and encourage people to contribute generously and help more people in need! Promote a caring society with love is everyone's responsibility! 'Gift of Life Society' allows us to see the establishment of a social model. Let us have a part to play, in whichever corner of society we can all be someone else's angel!

巴打灵再也北区国会议员 YB 潘俭伟献词 Message From The Member of Parliament for PJ Utara YB Tony Pua

我认识陈艳珍女士的日子不算太长, 约有6年. 但我想很多人都跟我一样，对于她在社会公益和慈善领域的投入，留下了深刻的印象。她特别为人所津津乐道的是她单凭个人的力量，连续十年岁月为我国的弱势群体献出了不求回报的无限关怀与爱心。这些年间，她为来自全国各地的残障朋友们筹募了许多残障辅助设备，这些设备包括各类型的轮椅、三轮或四轮摩托车、医疗座垫、电动轮椅电池等等。她也曾经为接受紧急手术治疗的残障朋友们筹募医疗费，而大多数时候还必须自掏腰包，以解有迫切需要残障人士的燃眉之急。最难能可贵的是，在与她的互动中，我可以感受到她对弱势群体的关怀不只是为他们提供所需的物资，而是真正地去接近、了解并关怀他们。我国的弱势社群，长期面对残障辅助设备资助不足、社会保障不健全、缺乏有系统的生活或就职培训计划、就雇机会低等问题。至今，我国还未有任何立法，以保障残障者权力或在教育、工作上不受歧視。目前，妇女、家庭及社会发展部辖下的福利部、教育部、人力资源部和卫生部在处理与残障人士相关的课题时，亦常常缺乏协调，功效不见显卓。虽然目前我国对保障弱势社群利益的醒觉意识已逐渐提升，然而为了确保弱势社群能独立及有尊严地生活，同时能完全及平等地融入各领域社群中，各阶层亦必须通力合作，一致努力以达到这个目标。政府方面应制定政策，建立更完善的教育和训练、改善工作培训和就业机会以及致力为弱势社群们建立更好的生活品质条件，这包括塑造一个包容、无障碍、人权为主社会的支援系统。当然，关心弱势群体不只是政府的责任，更是社会的责任。只有高度关心弱势群体的社会，才会形成良好的社会氛围，才能促进社会不断进步，不断地走向更加公正。一个真正公正的社会是所有人都受益的社会。最后，我谨此祝贺“生命的礼物协会”正式成立，并向陈艳珍女士以及其理事会成员献上我最真诚的祝福。

I came to know Ms Wendy Chan not very long ago, may be around six years. I believe many have the same feelings as mine that what she has done and contributed to the field of social welfare and charity job, has given us a very good impression. What really impressed us is for the past 10 years that with her own personal capacity, she has contributed to the less fortunate society with her love and care and has never asked for anything in return. All these years , she helped many disabled friends all over the country getting funds to buy various wheelchairs, three-wheel or four-wheel motorcycles, medical cushions, batteries etc. She also helped vulnerable groups to raise fund for medical fees and for operation. On many occasions, she used her own money to help those needy ones. The most valuable is her interaction with these vulnerable friends, to provide necessity for them, get near to them, understand them and care for them. These less fortunate ones in our country always faced inadequate disability aids and shortage of funding, lack of systematic plan for job training and employment opportunity. To date, there is no legislation in our country to protect them in education, work without discrimination. Even our various government departments, due to lack of coordination, have not seen much improvement for these less fortunate groups. We have increase awareness lately. However in order to helped them independent and live with dignity to integrate into all areas in our community, We must all help to strive through to reach the goal. Government should develop policies with better education and training, with employment opportunity for the less fortunate ones to build a better quality of life, with barrier free, human right based non-social assistance. Taking care of the less fortunate is not only the duty of government, but also our social responsibility. I highly convene to gather all to create a good social atmosphere in order to promote social progress, continue to move towards a more just and equitable society, that will truly benefit the whole society. Last but not least, I wish all the best to the launching of "Gift of life society", and send my best wishes to Ms Wendy Chan and her Exco members. Thank you!

Why ‘Gift Of Life Society?

President Mdm Wendy Chan

Secretary Dr Yeong Tuck Wai

我支持 Wendy, 也希望能在能力范围内回馈社会。我很高兴能够成立’生命的礼物协会‘, 能帮助更多有需要的人 I joined Gift of Life Society because of Wendy Chan. I personally would like to contribute to the society within my means, and happy to see that Wendy Chan with a group of volunteer and philanthropist to establish Gift of Life Society, so that we can help the needy in a greater scale.

首先我是支持我的太太，那就是创办人Wendy，接触了体障朋友，发现他们很坚强，甚至比我们更坚强。在生活上，他们希望得到别人的帮助，也帮助别人，能够自力更生，这让我对他们改观。他们只是身体有障碍，但是没有影响到他们对生活的憧憬。希望有更多的人会对他们改变看法，他们是体障，不是残废倒下不起，通过生命的礼物协会，希望能引起更多人的关注，有钱出钱、有力出力，提供这些辅助器材，帮助他们找到工作，重回社会，自力更生。 At first I was being supportive to my wife - Mdm. Wendy. After befriending OKU friends, I found them to be very strong, even much better than us as normal people. My perception towards them thus changed. Their physical disability doesn't stop them from having dreams in life. Through GOLS, I hope that more people will start to understand and give attention, provide them with the supporting tools, in order to help them getting a suitable job, be back to the society and be able to be self supportive.

Treasurer Mr Lee Ming

Tzyy

一个回馈社会的好机会。看见不幸的群体能够自力更生，有尊严的过着正常的生活将会带给我们欣慰与欢乐。 GOLS在Wendy 与Elvin的引领与指导下，将继续壮大，为更多有需要的朋友奉献出力量。 This is a golden opportunity to serve the needy community It gives me joy both in heart & mind to be able to see the less unfortunate being able to be independent, have self-respect & living a normal life. GOLs under the caring patronage of Mdm Wendy Chan & guidance of Mr Elvin Liew will continue to prosper & grow to benefit the needy。

Asst. Secretary Mdm Jackline Barry

我参加生命的礼物是因为感动於WENDY所做的贡献时，特别是对残障朋友们，是那么的体贴和细心，因此当成立‘生命的礼物协会’的时候，我希望我能趁有生之年为这个社会贡献一点小小的力量。 I admire Wendy's efforts towards helping the OKU. She takes care of every details and it is really close to heart. Hence, I also wish to contribute my service to the society via GOLs.

我是因为感动於Wendy的努力, 在没有什么背景与支持之下，她用个人的力量，那就是拿着一颗心出来，她真的做到，别人需要的东西，她给得到，这就是让我深深感动的地方。 I was truly impressed when I discovered Wendy Chan was so self-motivated in helping the needy people using her own effort ie without any support backing nor any corporate sponsorship. She has a sincere heart in helping others. She is my mentor in helping others!

一些体障朋友的感言

Boon Kiat

WENDY很有魄力，生命的礼物她每一年都办，让很多残障人士受益，她是一个充满爱心和热诚的人，在每个领域有需要帮忙的时候，她都会出现！我希望生命的礼物能够越办越好，缔造一个爱心的社会，我觉得就是这样，从身边的朋友一个接一个传递开始。我非常谢谢Wendy把我当成一个正常的朋友，继而关心“爱、关怀”之家。

Wendy is very energetic and enterprising, she has been organising her Gift of Life functions yearly which benefited a lot of people with disabilities. She is a loving and dedicated people with sincerity. In each area that required help or assistance, she will be there! I hope that "Gift of Life Society" can be better and better, to create a caring society, from a friend to a friend. I thank Wendy treated me as a normal friend, and be her friend with love and care.

Daniel

当人家需要帮助时, Wendy会尽量的去帮助，而且没有放弃任何人。她是一个很有耐心的人，人家骂他的时候，她没有顶回去的。每一天我们看见她的时候，她都带着笑容，笑容满面地面对每件事。每当我们办美门的活动的时候，她都出席。我祝WENDY身体健康，开开心心的渡过每一年。

When people need help, Wendy will try her best to help, and will not neglect anyone. She is a very patient person. Whenever others scold her, she will not fight back. Whenever we see her, she always smiles to face every issue. She always attends & help in Beautiful Gate event or function. WENDY - I wish you good health and live happily every year!

Mei Lee

Wendy是一个非常有爱心的人，她能够办生命的礼物帮助残障朋友，是件不容易的事。他每次都能委身的为残障朋友筹款买辅助器材，是非常难得的！

Wendy is a very caring person, she has been organising the gift of life function yearly to help disabled friends, It is really not an easy task; but she continues to raise funds for handicapped aids. It is very rare!

Ivy

这些年来Wendy真的是亲力亲为的去关心残障朋友的需要，她捐轮椅，先了解每个残障朋友的需要，是用爱心去帮助我们。虽然我知道这些年来她也是受了很多委屈，但她还是没有放弃，继续关心残障朋友，这让我很感动！我希望能够有更多象Wendy这么好的人，因为象她这么好的人已经很难找到了，希望生命的礼物协会能够帮助更多的人，我献上我真诚的祝福给Wendy和生命的礼物协会！~ 银珠

Wendy is really hands-on to take care of the needs of those with disabilities. she learn to understand the needs of each and everyone's requirement; and her care and love make them feel like a normal person after getting the aids. Although she had encountered many grievances and misunderstanding, but she never give up. I hope that the Gift of Life Society will continue to help more people. I offer my sincere wishes to Wendy and her team for Gift of Life Society!

Wendy 是一个很用心很尽心的人，她都是很努力的为我们达到我们的梦想。她很热诚，使得很多的残障人士能够得益！每次我看到她都是很快乐的，充满着爱，我祝福她，有一份力发一分光！ ~~ Thomas Yeoh 杨居顺

我在2006年认识WENDY。那时候她正在帮助我们残障人士准备一些轮椅，cushion （医疗坐垫）等等。这几年以来她都一直在为我们残障朋友做出帮助。甚至有些朋友进了医院，她也去探访他们。这生命的礼物她做了很多很多年，最近我听说他们成立了一个协会，我觉得很高兴，因为这样就可以每一年帮助更多的朋友！ SS2 爱。关怀之家 - 林国强

I know Wendy since 2006. She has been busy helping us in raising funds for wheelchairs, medical cushion and others, sending OKUs for treatment & also visiting OKUs who are hospitalised. Gift of Life has been her passion for many years & I am happy to see that she has transformed it into a society to continue her yearly aids for OKU friends.

一位体障朋友的心声 SS2 爱。关怀之家

在2006年认识WENDY。那时候她正在帮助我们残障人士准备一些轮椅，cushion （医疗坐垫）等等。这几年以来她都一直在为我们残障朋友做出帮助。甚至有些朋友进了医院，她也去探访他们。这生命的礼物她做了很多很多年，最近我听说他们成立了一个协会，我觉得很高兴，因为这样就可以每一年帮助更多的朋友！其实我想说残障朋友在拉轮椅的时候，他的手臂需要很有力。如果他的手臂没有力，那会受伤。轻型轮椅和重型轮椅看起来差别只在于价格，但用起来是有分别的。轻型轮椅在我们出外的时候很有帮助，我们可以自己搬动轮椅，不需要依靠别人。这对我们自力更生方面很重要！Cushion 有些人以为到商场随便买一个就可以了，其实我们不是随便随便就可以坐。我们需要上一个测试，看我们坐上去的时候，我们全身的力量会圧在哪里。一般的坐垫不能负荷我们的重量，肌肉也会因此受伤，甚至腐烂，我们称为back sore（皮肤和肌肉腐烂）. 如果 back sore 受到细菌感染，我们还会有生命危险。而且back sore最少需要半年以上才能复原，严重的话，要两三年。我有几个朋友，因为back sore 去世了。他们只是忽略的一个小小的重点，就失去了自己的生命。表面看起来轮椅比较重要，但其实这个cushion比轮椅更重要！我们曾经向福利部申请，但他给我们的条件是，“你的薪水不可以超过一千五百令吉”。对残障人士来说，1500 令吉是不太够的。我们的开销不像一般的汽油，膳食，我们的日常用品也与人不同，有很多别人意想不到的开销，比如成人纸尿片，一个星期就用了几十块钱。福利部依照我们的薪水，就直接的拒绝了我们的申请。而如要我们自己存钱来买一辆轮椅，这对我们来说是个很大很大的负担。甚至对我们来造成一个很大的忧虑，我们根本不懂得怎样处理。Wendy这时给我们的帮助是最大的帮助！他不只解决了我们生活上的担忧，也减少了很多维修上的麻烦。拿到轮椅，我们不但生活上变得方便，我们出外的时候，也变得比较安全。一个旧的轮椅容易发生意外，想想人坐在上面，万一轮椅的铁断了，你说会发生是怎么样的事情？我曾经有一个朋友因此脚受伤，在家里休息养了三个月，没有收入。所以表面上你们的帮助是很简单，捐一辆轮椅，但是其实你们的帮助是很大的！曾经有些残障人士他们会想到要去自杀，表面上很多人认为他们是在气绥，轻视自己生命。但他们没有深入去了解，为什么残障朋友要去自杀？难道他不怕死吗？其实他也怕死，但是他更怕的是负担！当他开始成为残障人士的时后，他就开始为家里带来了负担。当家里负担不来的时候，他就会起内疚感。他会想的是什么？头像如果我不在，那就对了！对他来说唯一的方法就是自杀！当我们要去帮她的时候，不只是去劝他，＂啊，你不要自杀＂，而是要清楚了解＂他为什么自杀＂。当你解决他的问题，你才能够把一个处在最低潮的人救回来，

让她慢慢看到希望，回来做个有用的人！甚至可以帮助回家里的人。

The storey of a vulnerable person SS2 Loving Home Independent Living I know WENDY in 2006 till today who has been helping us collect donations for disabled wheelchair, medical cushion & etc for disable friends. She even visits hopitalised disables. She has been organising this gift of life for many years & was very happy when she establised Gift Of Life Society as it can help more vulnerable friends! Ordinary person does not realise that a handicapped needs a strong arm to move the wheelchair & sometimes get hurt in the process. The difference between a light weight wheelchair and heavy weight wheelchair is not only the price but has other functions. It is able to give both mobility, agility, freedom & les reliance on others. It builds our self esteem & self reliance to be like an ordinary person instead of being a handicap. Disables spent most of their time sitting on a wheelchair & unknowingly buttock sores, muscle injury formed due to their body weight. Bacterial infection & flesh rotting may form which takes six months or more to recover. A few friends even died because of back sore (skin and muscle decay). Hence meidcal cushion to them is even more important as compared to a wheelchair! The Ministry of Welfare only assist disables who earns less than RM1,500.00/month. We are unable to survive with such a low income as the shelter, food, daily necessities, and even diapers alone may cost hundreds of ringgit per week. They will not help despite our appeals for help. Hence, buying a mere wheelchair becomes a very big burden & creates a lot of anxiety for a disable. One of my disabled friends injured his foot & was unable to work for 3 months after his old wheel chair broke down. Generally disables have low esteem, low confidence & unable to accept their own disabilities as they usaully rely on other for help. That is why they think of comtting suicide to end their misery. Wendy's 'Gift of Life' is our benefactor & our biggest help! They can live easier, better, mobile & independent after receiving her Gift of Life. Donating a wheelchair is giving us hope, a future & live again!.

认识Wendy是从2004年开始。还记得那天她走进美门问我们有什么需要，我告诉她我们需要一辆Van车，她答应了。我心里想着这个女人到底会不会讲到做到，或是又一个空头支票。没想到不久后，她居然找到人捐了一辆车来。从那时候开始，Wendy就常常参与美门的活动，成为美门许多残障学员的好朋友。后来，她知道美门在办《生命的礼物》的活动为残障人士筹募所需要的残障辅助器材，她即刻参与协助我们推动活动，并到处筹募所需的器材。因为她知道，残障人士需要适合的辅助器材，才能过一个自立和有意义的生活。从那时候开始，Wendy就每一年都把这个任务扛在自己身上，至今帮助了几百个残障人士，也改变了他们的生活。我们都很感谢她的付出和所给于的帮助。

I know Wendy since 2004. I remember the day she walked into Beautiful Gate Foundation and asked us what we need. I told her that we needed a van. She agreed to help. I was left wondering if she will honour her promise! She actually found someone to donate a van for Beautiful Gate. Since then, Wendy was often involved in helping us to promote "the gift of life" activities and raise the required equipments and helping aids for the disabled group. She knew the importance of people with disability require appropriate aids to live an independent and meaningful life. Since then, Wendy has tasked herself to continue every year in helping hundreds of people with disabilities in changing their lives. We are very & forever grateful to her dedication and help.

“从前有一位小天使，她很喜欢帮助人，她用自己的法术来满足世人的欲望，借此去感受她曾帮助过的人身上散发出的幸福气味。” 我们每个人身边都会有天使。而我在 2009年，也认识了一位“天使”。这4年来，她遭遇了别人的拒绝，言语的伤害，被人丢钱的感受，她失去了身边的朋友；可是，她还是每天不断努力的去想尽办法，去找捐款为了是想筹到更多的钱足够来买辅助器材给有需要的朋友。透过这位“天使”的付出，我们可以看到不同障碍的朋友脸上充满着喜乐与感恩。无论是拐杖、轮椅、座垫、助听器、手术费、援助金等；她都尽所能为我们“圆梦”。在此，我本人也要感谢“天使 – Sis. WENDY”为我所做的一切。今天，也是Society of Gift of Life 的成立，但愿这个协会能不断持续的伸出援手，帮助更多有需要的障碍朋友。谢灵霖 - 马来西亚残障父母协会创办人

Once upon a time, there was an Angel who liked to help the needy. She used her own magic to fulfil the needs of the disable people. Those who received the help from her will spread out the fragrance of 'Happiness' in their body. Every one of us has an Angel besides us . As for me, in year 2009, I came to know an "Angel" who for the past 4 years, encountered rejection & scorned from others, hurting words, even money being thrown at her, lost her friends but every day in her mind she continues to think of ways to get donations in order to get wheelchairs and medical aids for the needy. Through this sacrifice from this "Angel", we can see happy, joyful, grateful and thankful faces of our disabled friends. Whether crutches, wheelchairs, medical cushions, hearing aids, medical fees, "She" will try her best to fulfil our "Dream(s)" With that, I personally will like to thank this "Angel" for what she has done for me --- She is non other than sister WENDY Chan. With the launching of "Gift of Life Society", I hope that the society will continue to extend and help more needy people. From Sia Leng Leng - Malaysia Parents for OKU Association

禮物的祝福當Wendy 告訴我生命的禮物成立基金會了，我知道生命的禮物會成為更多弱勢群體的祝福。Wendy 全家的愛心，讓許多的心一起共鳴，形成愛的力量，穿梭在叢林人間，給予需要扶助的弱勢族群，擁有希望實現夢想，生命的禮物讓我看到愛真實的行動，而身為雙福的創辦人希望我們更懂得感恩與珍惜。

殘障自強發展協會感言2

双福残障自强发展协会执行长陈建孝

Shuang Fu Disabled Independent Living Association Chief Executive Danny Tan

需要与重要我所尊敬的轮椅作家刘侠姐（杏林子）生前曾说过：“能够付出是一种福气，懂得付出是一种智慧。” 在施比受更有福的前提下，许多付出者关心的是：“我怎样给才算是给得恰当？给得有智慧？” 经过多年后，刘姐这句智慧的话让我有所领悟，我将懂得付出是智慧诠释在“重要”与“需要”的衡量点上。话说有位好善乐施的人翁，一天走在路上遇见了一位走路一拐一拐，而且双脚红肿的年轻人。出于真心，这位善心人翁向前与年轻人打了个招呼，就与年轻人聊起话来；临别时他们与对方约定某日再见面。见面那一日，这位善心者带了两支拐杖去赴约，心里想着自己这么细心的预备和周到的服务，对方一定会为此感到惊喜。当他抵达目的地时，他惊讶的发现这位年轻人双脚已锯，坐在一辆残旧的轮椅上。震惊之余，他向年轻人问个究竟。年轻人说：“我第一次遇见您的时候，我其实已经不可以再走路了，可是我没办法，因为我实在没有钱买轮椅。” 很多时候我们都很愿意付出爱心，出钱出力帮助有需要的人。可是，却发现自己也遇到了类似的故事情节，受惠者就像年轻人般，眼前的拐杖对他已不再重要了。我非常感激Wendy看到了残障朋友在辅具方面的缺乏，又明白“需要”按照受惠者的诉求点去提供辅具的“重要性”，夫妇两为此而成立“生命的礼物基金会”。这些年来，他们努力不竭的为残障朋友筹募辅具基金，为要让残障朋友有了适合自己的辅具后，生活能够得到改善，这点他们让我们非常感动。能够问弱势申请者这句话：“你最重要的需要是什么？”是非常“重要”的；能够明白“你眼所看到他的需要并不一定就是他真正的需要”，也是非常“需要”的。

Need and importance I respect wheelchair writer Liu Xia sister (Hsin Lin) who had once said: "The ability to give is a blessing, know how to give is a kind of wisdom." It is always more blessed to give than to receive. However, what to give is needed is important and also a wisdom.After many years, Liu sister phrase words of wisdom give me some insight! I'll know how to give is a wise interpretation of "important" and "necessary". Saying there was this kind-hearted, good person while walking on the road, met a limping young man with swollen feet. They chatted and greeted each other with good words. While parting, they agreed to meet again one day. On the meeting day, the kind-hearted person brought two crutches for the appointment, thinking that the limping young man must be very thankful of his concern and' kind-heart'. When he arrived at the destination, he was surprised to find the young man sitting in a dilapidated wheelchair without legs. He was shocked and asked what had happened to this young man who said: "I first met you, I actually cannot walk again, but I have no money to buy a wheelchair." Many times we are willing to pay for love, money and efforts to help people in need. However, we found ourselves also encountered a similar story, as this young man in front of crutches that he no longer 'NEED' or 'IMPORTANT' to him. I am very grateful to Wendy and the group who see the handicapped in terms of the lack of helping devices, but also understand the "need" in accordance with the demands of the beneficiaries to provide what they need & important to them, and thus established "Gift of Life Society" for this purpose, Over the years, they strive inexhaustible aids for the handicapped and raise fund for the disabled to make friends with their own aids, so that their life can be improved. On this point they make us very touching and moving. Disadvantaged applicants can ask this sentence: "You need what is most important?" is very "important"; but able to understand "You see with your eyes need not necessarily his real needs" is really a wisdom!

By Chen Jianxiao (Danny)

我觉得成立生命的礼物协会是个很好的远见，对残障朋友来讲是一个很好的福音。他们一路走来，对残障朋友的需求做很恰当的考量，这一点我非常感动。对残障朋友来说，如果你给的不是他说要的那不是叫做用用完了是一种资源的浪费。例如医疗坐垫，他们坐了屁股不会溃烂，你给了他他所需要的，让他能自力更生。让他家人的生活不一样，他可能又可以回馈社会的，他可能可以帮助回他的同伴。其实很多残障朋友都希望他们可以帮助别人。所以我希望在帮助他们的时候，除了让他自立更生，可以看更深的一层的意义。我相信这个协会的成长对残障朋友来说是很实际而且很有意义的！供应残障朋友这些辅具，帮助政府照顾这一环，在私人界是少有的。要怎样帮助这位残障朋友站起来，这就是辅助的重点。要看他需要什么，而不是我们想要给他什么。我们是work with him，不是work for him。当我们 work with him 的时候，我们要帮到他的部分就很实际了。我们可以和他达成一个共识，你要什么？这东西有之后能够发挥什么效果？这个东西最后能让你成为怎样的一个人？这就是辅具可以延伸的重点。 - 圣桃（陈健孝夫人）

I am touch by Gift of Life Society's long term Vision of helping & caring for disable friends or OKUs. They are a very good gospel. OKUs arequire specific aids eg medical cushions which will not create soars or fester on buttocks; a lightweight wheelchair for them to move around without help from others; or a 3 wheeler motorbike to help the family to earn a living. They will be able to be independent, return to society & help other OKUs. GOLs objectives are specific, practical & meaningful! Some OKUs have difficulty to get government aids or from private & public limited companies. An OKU needs equipments to be independent to earn their livelihood. They do not wish to depent on others. What does an OKUs need & how to help them should be always in our thoughts when aiding them! By Mdm. Sheng Tao (Mrs. Danny Tan)

28hb. Feb 2013 A thank you write up from a recipient in Perak in Sin Chew Daily on the recent gift of life program.

Tulisan iklas daripada seorang penerima kerusi roda ringan dari Perak di Sin Chiew Daily. Beliau berterima kasih kerana Gift of Life telah menyumbang kepadanya kerusi roda ringan yang sememangnya menepati keperluannya untuk bergerak bebas. Beliau kagum dengan kasih sayang dan semangat Pn. Chan yang gigih dan terpaksa bermuka tembok dan mentabahkan hati walaupun berdepan dengan teguran, malah ejekan daripada orang luar sepanjang 10 tahun ini. Pn. Chan percayai bahawa berbanding dengan kerusi roda biasa, kerusi roda ringan akan dapat mengembalikan kebebasan dan keserian hidup buat rakan-rakan kurang upaya!

生命的禮物-陈喜祝 2013-03-08 13:42 - 星洲日報／副刊‧文：陳喜祝 http://life.sinchew.com.my/node/4530?tid=57

去年，我決定在開齋節來臨前，把平日我坐的那架無扶手輪椅，送給一友族朋友。因她那位八十多歲的母親，和九十多歲的父親需定期往醫院複診，而她弟弟買的“醫院型”輪椅讓她感到費力和壓力。朋友雖然長得牛高馬大，但身體欠佳，需長期服食多種藥品，我相信她比我更需要輕便的輪椅，以協助雙親平日的移動和出入。她見到這無扶手，有些破舊和生鏽的輪椅時，興奮得抱著我連聲道謝，眼淚快要滴在我的衣襟上。我深感慚愧，那只是一架破舊的輪椅，竟然可讓她興奮和激動。送了給她後，才察覺找不到一架適合自己尺寸的輪椅代步和工作。坐著一架大型的輪椅，推動時雙臂需伸展至雙輪處，用力滾動，且雙腳懸在“半空中”，前後搖擺，如此長達數個月。雖然如此，我也沒後悔將那架“來去自如”的輪椅送給那友人。新春將至，殘障朋友的“生命的禮物”隨著陳艷珍女士和她一班友人而來。10年前，她已意識到殘障人士需要使用輕型輪椅，以便自如地出入和工作。她瞭解脊椎骨受傷者，需要特製坐墊以維持工作能力（久坐輪椅有褥瘡危機）。10年來，她仍然厚著臉皮，保持著熱忱向友人一個個地募捐，希望透過她小小的“提說”，幫助殘障人士。為了幫助殘障人士，她因在籌款過程中被朋友奚落和諷刺，而感傷心、沮喪。她堅持不放棄是因仍然相信：贈送輕型輪椅和特製坐墊，能讓一個殘障人士坐著也可“起舞”，可使人和輪椅兩者“亮麗”結合，生命影響生命。這次獲贈一架輕便的輪椅，我單手即可使它或向左或向右，甚至轉圈圈，內心感動非常。感謝陳艷珍女士與友人，他們透過美門殘障關懷基金，在初春里使我沾上春暖氣息，象徵著吉祥如意。希望透過他們的堅持和努力，繼續讓更多有需要的殘障人士受益。

Gift Of Life; Gift Of Hope Here is an article by Chan Hee Zhu (陈喜祝)from Perak who received a "Light Weight Wheel-Chair from Wendy - President Of "Gift Of Life Society".... Please read on and you will realise why our OKU friends require a light weight wheelchair ...(Translated by Anonymous)

Last year sometime before Hari Raya Puasa, I decided to giveaway my personal old light-weight wheelchair to a friend because her old parents need to go to hospital regularly for treatment, and her brother brought the "hospital-type" wheelchair to make her feel effortless and stress. Due to her poor health, I believed they need this portable wheelchair more than I do for ease of movement and access. She saw this without armrests, some old and rusty wheelchair, she was so excited to hold me tight with tears drop on my leap. I am deeply ashamed, it's just an old wheelchair, and yet gave her so much excitement and emotion.

After given away this portable wheelchair, I was then realised that I was also n a difficult position too that I was unable to find a suitable size wheelchair and go to work. Sitting in a large wheelchair, pushed my arms to be extended to the two-wheels, forced rolling and feet hanging in the "mid-air", rocking back and forth... I was in this situation for several months. Even so, I did not regret that I gave my portable wheelchair to someone who appreciated it so much.

Approaching the New Year 2013, disabled friends' "Gift Of Life" organised by Miss Chan Yim Ching (Wendy) and her group of friends again on January 2013. 10 years ago, Wendy has realized that people with disabilities need to use ightweight wheelchair to have access and work.

She understands that for those who had injured spine, need a special cushion to maintain working capacity (sedentary wheelchair with bedsores crisis). For 10 years, she never gives up, with thick skin and maintaining enthusiasm to ask donations from friends and strangers, one by one,with hope that through her little effort, can help disabled friends with "Gift Of Life, Gift Of Hope"...

In order to help people with disabilities, she was in the process of raising funds, ridiculed by friends and also mistaken by others that she gained benefits and flame by promoting her "Gift Of Life" events. Although she was sad and depressed, She insisted not to give up because she also found a lot of dsiabled friends and donors who give her full support at all times.

After receiving this lightweight wheelchair, I was so happy and can make it with one hand to the left or to the right, or even going round in circles, I really thankful to "Gift Of Life", Especially to Ms Wendy and her friends that I am now back to work without much difficulty again.

生命的禮物協會 Gift of Life Society ON AIR WITH AIFM (uploaded onto YouTube) Part 1 陳艷珍：創立協會獲支持生命的禮物協會主席陳艷珍表示，起初她主動向關懷機構詢問，該機構需要甚麼物資，然後再向她丈夫的朋友募款，並將那筆錢去買殘障人士所需要的物資，如輪椅、醫療座墊和運動輪椅等. 她協助關懷機構籌款9年後，發現自己的力量不夠。因此，她便告訴身邊的朋友她的計劃和理念，並得到了身邊許多朋友的支持. 今年3月份，“生命的禮物”正式成為合法注冊的協會，至目前已有9名成員。該協會的目的是為了協助籌募及管理社會人士的捐款及物資，以確保有關物質能夠讓社會上真正有需要的人受惠. Gift of Life Society's (GOLs) President - Wendy Chan said that she took the initiative to set-up "Gift Of Life Society" because she believe that there is everlasting love and eternal hope for those under-privileged. Initially, she only asked help from those whom she knew and her husband's friends for those with disabilities to buy needed supplies, such as wheelchairs, medical upholstery and sports wheelchairs... She was doing this since 2004, and realized that her strength is not enough. Therefore, she told her friends about her plans and ideas, in March 2013, "Gift Of Life Society - GOLs" was officially registered with Selangor Registrar of Society on 5th March 2013 (ROS number: PPM-028-10-05032013). At the present moment, GOLS has nine Exco members. GOLs main purpose is to help, raise and manage community donations and supplies to benefit people in genuine needs, saving and improving lives through charity, donations, extend to organ and tissue awareness; educate and create a worldwide community of potential donors, give another person the Gift of Life (Even After Our Death). Part 2 陳艷珍：选择这条路縱然面對許多冷言冷語，但樂觀的陳艷珍仍願意微笑地感激所有拒絕她的朋友, 因為她相信仍有願意全力支持她的人. 当然这期间她也曾面对很多的打击，甚至是失去了一些认识了很久的朋友。有的朋友还因为她要求捐款而绝交，有的还误会她，以为她想借这样的机会出风头。但她不会因此而失望和放弃，更重要的是这期间也认识了很多新朋友，甚至有一些从未见过面的陌生人也在脸子书上踊跃的捐款. 这期间结识了一群热心社会公益的朋友，他们都有不同的背景和人生经验，在大家的努力下，特别是协会的秘书杨德伟博士，成功在3月份获得马来西亚社团注册局的批准成立“生命的礼物协会”. Despite facing many unpleasant and sarcastic remarks, Wendy still continued to smile and thank all those who rejected her as she believes there are still many who are willing to support her. Along the journey, she faced a lot of hardship, and even offended some very close friends due to her persistency. Some friends also accused her for getting involved in charity activities because she wants the limelight. She was disappointed and did not give up but instead met a lot of new friends, and even strangers who have never met over face-book who donated generously and encourage her to continue. During this period, she also met a group of selfless & generous friends with different backgrounds and life experiences, especially the association's secretary Dr. Yong, assisted & obtained official approval from the Registry of Societies Malaysia on the registration of "Gift of Life Society".

• Part 3陳艷珍：计划举办大型的筹款活动

接着下来，生命的禮物協會会继续举办更多活动，也计划在12月举办一场大型的筹款活动同时庆祝为协会正式成立。这次的筹款目标是20万零吉，以应付来年的开支和所将进行的慈善活动。目前，我们所需的物资包括：8个医疗座垫、6辆电动轮椅、7辆轮椅、1辆特别的轻型轮椅、两辆背部可倾斜的轮椅、两<p>台3或4轮电动车和1台手电脑，总值大约85千零吉。除此以外，每当筹获轮椅或其他设备后, 都会坚持要捐献者出席移交仪式，并亲自将轮椅送给受惠者。这样可以确保捐献者清楚的知道捐款的去向和受惠者的身份，增加捐献者对协会的信心和信任。

In December 2013, Gift of Life Society will be organizing more activities, planning to hold a large-scale fund-raising & celebrating the formally established of GOLs. The fundraising target of RM200,000.00 will help to meet following year expenses and charitable activities. We urgently require donors to sponsor the following gifts: 8 unit medical cushions, 6 units motorized wheelchairs, 7 unit Light-Weight wheelchairs, 1 unit special light-weight wheelchair.

• Total cost : approximately RM85,000.00. • All contribution is welcome & significant. Therefore we would like to plead and welcome you to

contribute and donate to Gift Of Life Society in cash or in kind, so that we can have more fund, to reach out to the larger group of the needy society regardless of race, creed or religion. In addition, we also wish all donors will be able to attend this year-end fun raising event tentatively scheduled on 14 December 2013; to personally giveaway all the "GIFTS" to the beneficiaries. This will increase the transparency of donors' contributions being given to each recipient. This simple act will increased donors' joy, confidence and trust in "Gift Of Life Society".

Thank you ! "Thanks AIFM for the interview -- after the interview,we received many kind hearted calls

wished to help and immediately showed up to help Gift of Life Society so that we can raise fund for the outstanding motorized wheelchairs and medical cushions for our OKU

friends...thanks friends, may Goddess of Mercy/God bless you always..." ... Wendy

“自從接觸慈善事業後，我的生活充實了許多，性格也改變了不少，做事也顯得特別順利……” 一次的機緣巧合，一顆突發的憐憫之心，開啟了陳艷珍的慈善事業，無論慈善的路多難行、多辛苦、多勞累，她都誓言絕不放棄！身為產業經理的艷珍在2004年因同情南亞大海嘯災民的遭遇，而借用了一家素食館，舉辦為期2天的“樂捐享素食”活動，為海嘯災民籌獲1萬令吉。隨後，在一次逛街購物時，她偶遇一名在商場製作及售賣手工藝品、以籌集經費購買輪椅的殘障人士，因不捨及同情而開始接觸美門殘障關懷基金會，並因此瞭解到殘障人士的需要。 “僅靠售賣一件2令吉50仙至5令吉的手工藝品，相信殘友需要花上很長的時間才能籌獲輪椅的經費，讓我非常心疼，並決定給予他們幫助。” 兒子開支票助捐贈輪椅最讓她感動的是，當她把想法告訴兒子時，當時年僅24歲的大兒子便二話不說開了一張1200令吉的支票讓她購買輪椅捐贈給這名殘友；而她的朋友們在獲悉後，也大方地捐獻了不少錢，讓她順利籌獲3台輕巧輪椅、1台電動輪椅及一輛貨車。 “他們的支持讓我很感動，也讓我有了繼續下去的念頭。” 確保捐款者清楚善款去向此後，艷珍秉著一顆善心，靠著家人和朋友的鼓勵及支持，在沒有成立組織的情況下，陸續進行了許多籌款活動，並將她的慈善計劃取名為“生命的禮物”，多次募款幫助有需要的殘障人士購買輪椅及保健枕，讓許多殘友都因此而受益。艷珍每每在籌獲輪椅後，總會堅持要捐款者親自出席移交儀式並將輪椅送給受惠者，確保捐款者清楚捐款的去向及受惠者的身份，增加捐款者的捐款信心。曾遭冷言冷語辱罵打擊; 款艱難樂觀面對縱然，這段慈善的路並沒有外界想像的順遂，在向親朋戚友募款的當兒，艷珍也曾多次遭冷言冷語及辱罵所打擊，更因此失去了許多朋友，但她卻從不後悔，甚至還安慰自己，“我雖然失去了很多朋友，但卻也結識了許多新朋友啊！”。這份樂觀的心境不僅讓她有了堅持的動力，甚至也感動身邊的許多人。 “我曾在挨罵後將心情寫在面子書上，獲得許多網友的鼓勵及支持，甚至還有位網友以行動捐款支持我，讓我在感動之餘，也確信｀人心是肉做的’，這個道理。” 除了感激丈夫及孩子數年來給予的全力支持外，陳艷珍最感激的就是身邊不離不棄的朋友，尤其是楊姓友人及丈夫的呂姓好友，二人每年的定時捐款，成了最強的推動力，讓她沒有放棄的理由，更一年做得比一年好。計劃設慈善團體造福孤老為此，陳艷珍計劃在今年成立一個慈善團體，並擴大受惠者範圍，在幫助殘障人士之餘，也造福孤兒貧老，讓更多受惠。她也希望能在今年為殘友們籌獲更多的輪椅及保健枕，以幫助改善殘友們的生活，為他們帶來更多便利。其實許多殘障人士都需要輕巧的輪椅、電動輪椅及保健枕，但由於保健枕及電動輪椅的價格不菲，所以許多捐款者大多選擇多捐幾台輕巧輪椅。” 在新的一年裡，懷著一顆“感恩的心”的陳艷珍除了感激所有長期及曾經捐款給“生命的禮物”的善心人士外，也期望她的慈善事業能獲得更多人的支持。

Gift Of Life’s Poem – by Anonymous Today befroe you think of saying an unkind word, think of someone who can’t speak. Today you have a life, but you can’t live twice! Give you organs and let live again. Make your contribution and you can save life now! Donate your eyes and gift of life with vision; see this beautiful world once again and achieve life’s mission. Donate your kidney and gift of life with pleasure; revive the person from pain forever. Donate your heart and gift of life forever; live once again in another person. Raise fund for those in need and gift of life to say I do; that will go a long way to make your life complete!

March 24th, 2013

Everyone has DREAMS of gift, you may want a dress, a bag and the children want toys, but to our disabled friends, their basic mobility gift would be a light weight wheelchair, or a motorised wheelchair which allows them independence to move freely as well as reduce dependency on others.

For the last 10 years i.e. since 2004, Madam Wendy Chan has organised the "GIFT OF LIFE" event to help the needy disable without regards to race, creed or religion in realising their mobility dreams

This year, in January 2013, she was happy to continue the annual charity “GIFT OF LIFE” programmed to show her Care & Love to fulfill our disabled friends’ dreams. She was also taking the opportunity to arouse the public’s awareness & attention to care for our Disabled friends. Some of our disabled friend’s are physically handicapped due to either inborn or accident disability resulting inability to walk, see/visual defects or hearing impairment.

Due to their respective financial difficulties /constraints, some of them cannot afford to buy/purchase a mobility equipment or wheel chair to perform their daily life’s of going to school or to earn an honest living. A light weight wheelchair is foldable and gives them better mobility Every year, she has difficulties in getting donors for medical cushion as it costs RM1,800 each. Public are unaware that disabled friends experience sore on their buttock due to sitting the whole day on the wheel chair while some with bed sore. At times, they are unaware of their problem until they experience bleeding from their buttocks or back.

RECOGNITION & APPRECIATION 1 WITHOUT YOU ~ WITHOUT GOLS 人间有情点滴摘录感恩祝福

I would like to thank all my friends (known & unknown) who have given me all the unwavering tremendous encouragement & support over the past ten years in support & aid of the disables & needy. Our donors contribute either by banking in regularly as well as ad hoc contributions. Our dear supporters have positively welcome the formation of Gift of Life Society through your well wishes and written touching articles. May all of us share a happy, joyful, beautiful & peaceful world by being kind to each other. Thank you!

我很感谢很多朋友在这十年来一直不停的给我支持与鼓励，他们甚至每个月定期的汇入捐款，并且在有需要的时候特别关怀与帮助。这次生命的礼物协会的成立，他们也捎来一份份的祝福，他们的文章都让我很感动，我想在此与大家分享, 也祝福他们种福田得福报，世界美丽和平！谢谢他们！

感谢您, Mr. Daniel Tan 陈金襁 "所謂“施比受更有福”。在自己能力范圍內，奉獻出微薄之力，給社會弱勢群體帶來幸福的希望，讓社會充滿愛與關懷。與生命禮物會社席陳艳珍女士相交多年，她一直都很熱衷與慈善及社會關懷活動，經常到處募款，出錢又出力，為慈善不留餘力；被她的熱心和善心所感動，因此一直都很支持其慈善事業。非常感恩陳氏提供此個管道，讓我有機會為慈善出份棉力，還能藉機感染身邊的人，一同伸出援助之手，幫助社會弱勢群體，帮助他人，快樂自己。

"True blessings begin by giving rather than receiving. Giving brings the meaning of dedication, modesty, a beacon of hope and happiness for the less fortunate. In return our society with slowly have love & care for everyone. I have know the President of Gift of Life Society, Ms Wendy Chan for many years who is enthusiastic in her charity and community activities. She gives other an opportunity to donate. Sometimes she will pay from her own pocket when she did not receive any contributions. I have been supporting her charity work because I am touch by her enthusiasm and kindness. I must thank Ms Wendy for giving me this opportunity & channel to share this charity work. I am able to share this noble cause of giving a helping hand for the less fortunate. To help others is to help ourselves to be happy." ~Daniel Tan

感谢您, Ms. Irene Khoo "曾经我认识的Wendy，是一位积极的产业经纪，也是很多人口里的经纪超人。但我想她现在在她所热衷的慈善工作里找到了真正的快乐。既使当还是一位经纪人的时候，她已经开始了慈善工作，累积了很多的经验，也激发了的她的热忱。尤其她现在把很多时间都用在生命的礼物慈善工作上。她是一个坚强和坚定的女中豪杰，同时也是个贤妻良母，还做得一手好菜呢！她也是一个不嗇教导的老师，她毫无保留，也非常乐意的指导别人。我非常高兴认识她，这么一位愿意聆听，愿意帮助任何人丶任何事的一个人！她终于成立了生命的礼物协会，我非常替她感到高兴！"

"I have known Wendy Chan as a once upon a time, an aggressive real estate agent or better known as Super Sales Woman to us. I guess she has found her true happiness through her passion for charitable works. Even during her days as an agent, Wendy would occasionally help out in charitable event, where she had great experience in helping the needy ones and that’s where she started to take a great passion in this area. She dedicates much of her time towards fundraising and charity for the Gift of Life Society especially now of late. She is a strong and dignified lady, moreover she’s a good cook cum housewife that watches over her household other than running her real estate firm. She stood out among many ladies whom I know, as a 'Teacher' communicating her wisdom and knowledge to those whom she knows. She is definitely an unselfish person who shares abundantly. Glad to have known her as I know that she will always have her ears for us and would help anyone in all aspects. I am very happy for her for the official formation of Gift of Life Society. "~Irene Khoo

感谢您们, Mr. Lee Thung Hing & Mr. Loo Soon Tow 我们的两位顾问，多年以来在背后大力支持着我，让我每一年都能成功筹办生命的礼物活动，以实际行动帮助体障朋友，我是真的打从心底，感激他们！ Thank you to our two dedicated Advisors, who have given me unwavering great support & pillar in our successful Gift of Life programs which helped our OKU friends.

感谢您, 三轮摩托车赞助人曾经我们有一位体障朋友申请三轮摩托车，我们也非常幸运的为他找到了赞助人。第二年生命的礼物仪式时，他上台拿过麦克风不停的感激说，他之前几乎就要自殺了，因为家里负担不了他，他更帮不到家里。有了这辆车，他可以送小孩上学，又可以到处去收集旧报纸，也做点小生意。这一辆三轮摩托车帮助了他，帮助了他的家人！他的自力更生，改变了他与家人的命运！ THANK YOU to sponsors for the three wheeled motorcycle An OKU friend received a three wheeled motorcyle from a generous GOL sponsor. His testimonial mentioned he was aimless, dejected & low esteem that he almost wanted to commit suicide as he was a burden to his family.

还有让我们很感动的是，很多听众朋友在听了我在爱FM 的访问之后，纷纷致电表示关心，并有意透过生命的礼物协会捐助弱势社群。我的心像开了花一样，看见了人间有情，很多很多小小的故事，一一温暖了我的心！我希望能全都与大家分享，但由于版位有限，我只能摘出其中的一二。 AIFM was gracious in hosting an interview with many caring & concern audience responded by sending in donation to assist the less fortunate. My heart bloomed like a fresh flower on how caring the world is! I am sharing a few:-

白小姐在听了访谈后，特别约了我出来，告诉我她非常感动于我们所做的一切，尽管面对诸多的挑战和拒绝，依然勇敢地走在这条路上。他和一班好友马上很乐意的慷慨捐助六辆轻型轮椅。白小姐，您的支持让我们雀跃万分。我代表体障朋友谢谢您！有您们的支持，我们也将更勇敢的继续走下去！ * Ms Beh who called to generously donated 6 light weight wheel chair after the AIFM interview.
