In 2001, Malaysia Lotus Charity Care Centre Association was started by Dr R. Thomas Manoharan and his wife Sarah. Over the years, the old folks home that initially started with seven elderly people grew to become a home that now looks after a total of 51 underprivileged people, of which 26 are children ranging from 1 to 18 years old and 25 old folks. In February 2016, in an untoward incident, the home was burnt to the ground causing all of the donated food and daily necessities were destroyed and inhabitants of the charity home were forced to move into a rented house. In April 2016, the center’s founding director Dr Rev. Thomas Manoharan passed away, leaving his wife Sarah and their son Michael to continue taking care of the children and seniors. After long-struggling months, the house has finally been rebuilt. Thanks to all the generous help received from the public. However, the home monthly needs such as food supplies, rentals, tuition fees, utility bills, loans etc are still the biggest challenge especially during this difficult time as funds/donations for Sarah and Team have literally fallen off a cliff and she is behind with all kinds of commitments. The Lotus Monthly Giving Campaign aims to provide financial aid for the above concern. We encourage donations from everyone to support this heartfelt cause and would really appreciate for sponsors to consider opting for a monthly recurring payment as you make your first donation. This would greatly give a huge & meaningful impact on Lotus Charity Care Centre as a shelter for the children & elderly.Do follow our updates at https://www.facebook.com/lotuscharitycarecentremalaysia

Hello! My name is Brenda Ho and I am creating this fundraiser on behalf of Lotus Charity Care Centre Society Selangor & W.P (formerly known as Lotus Charity Care Centre). Lotus is an orphanage in Semenyih, managed and taken care of by Ms Sarah Thomas. They have stayed there for more than a decade by renting the house, however due to some financial issues, the owner of the house has decided to sell the house and stop renting it out. However, Ms Sarah does not have enough funds to buy the house hence she needs your help. The owner has given them until the end of October to raise the necessary funds or they will have to move out. Ms Sarah is also taking care of an old folks’ home in the same neighbourhood (however they are staying in a different house).With 26 young children, it is extremely difficult for them to move to a new location, and it is even harder to find a new place with an owner that would be willing to rent their place to them. Ms Sarah has received RM80,000 in donations so far, but she still needs help to raise the remaining RM320,000. Besides raising money to buy the premises, she also struggles with daily expenses because of the number of children and elderly to take care of, including but not limited to food, medicine, school fees, etc.My parents have been visiting and helping out at this orphanage for more than a decade hence they are familiar with Ms Sarah and can vouch for their urgent situation and Ms Sarah’s genuine kind-heartedness. I have provided the phone numbers of Ms Sarah as well as my father should you wish to talk to them to gain a better understanding of this situation. You are also welcomed (and encouraged!) to visit the orphanage in person to verify its authenticity as well as lend a helping hand.

*Latest update at the bottom of the story* -- (Latest update: 29th June 2022, please scroll down)That little living room that you see in the display picture becomes a bedroom for about 8 children when night falls. They pull out thin mattresses without covers and make do to get their rest. The little girl, Nancy (just turned 1 y.o) sleeping in the donated pink bouncer is the only one who has a somewhat permanent spot in the house. Until she outgrows it and join the rest on the floor. The house smells old and the walls are bare. But on a it you can find traces of hope and positivity. The peeling wall paint decorated with pure intentions that read "I love Jesus" and smiley faces.When I heard about the donation drive from my little toddler's school for Lotus Charity Centre after their house was burnt down last year (they are now in a rental). I wanted to help and like so many of us, I immediately thought "I have some old clothes and toys to donate", "let me send them some food..". This is what many homes need, including Lotus for sure. But after having sat there in the living room with those kids and their caretakers, one would be branded blind and heartless if you couldn’t tell that what they really need is their own proper home. Their very simple rental home now has 3 bedrooms. And they have 26 children plus caretakers. They used to house some of the kids in a construction container outside this home (also donated) as a desperate measure, but it got way too hot inside. I offered to have an air-conditioning unit fitted in for them, but they said “how kind of you, but we won’t even be able to afford the electricity for it.”. The Lotus Charity Care Centre has been around for the last 14 years. Unfortunately, the late founder Dr. R. Thomas Manoharan has passed away, leaving the care centre with 25 old folks and 26 children to his wife Sarah to look after. All these children come from a trail of sorrow-- abandoned by their parents, grandparents… some even came straight from the hopsital with no history or story. I cannot imagine what goes through their innocent minds. Are they sad? Do they resent? And yet while I was there, the little boy who was sitting next to me was humming “If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands,”. I am happy to attest that the children all look relatively well looked after despite such circumstances. This has reinforced my confidence in Sarah's true love and devotion to the children even in the face of great adversity. She insists that the older children all go to school, but is also struggling to pay for their tuition fees and school supplies. Their plight is urgent. Sarah, who is assisted by her son Michael (who is a Pastor at a Christian Church) are struggling to make ends meet. They rely on donations to put food on the table, buy medicine for the kids (and old folks), and are scraping by month to month. Lotus has a small piece of corner terrace house land to build their new home on, but they do not have the money to start building it. They need RM450,000 to make their new home happen, and that is the target I have set out in this online campaign for them. It is high, but I am hopeful and determined to help them achieve a more dignified living. I hope that you will extend some kindness to these children and selfless caretakers. Thank you so much.

Through this site and some offline donations, we have been able to raise a considerable amount of funds but also have a long way more to go. Please continue to support by telling people about it and give as you please.I visited the home again over the past weekend and started some planning on how this project should proceed. Sarah and everyone at the home is absolutely over the moon about this and cannot believe that the home they have been dreaming and praying for is inching closer.It is my intention to keep people updated on the progress of this project. I will either keep posting here in this story page or start a simple blog page later on.I would also like to thank the SimplyGiving platform for providing the needed transparency and accountability in this fund raising process, and it's team who has been very encouraging and helpful.Sincerely, Diani______________________________________________________________________*23 June 2017 Update*Hello everyone, With the advise of the professional architect and project manager who are helping out this project on a pro bono basis (last two photos in the gallery), we have a good idea of the layout, size and usage of this new home.Right after the Hari Raya break, the town planner in this team will approach the local council to find out the status of the land they have, and work towards getting all the right paperwork in place.My sincere thanks for all your support and help, Selamat Hari Raya! Diani______________________________________________________________________* 2 August 2017 Update *Hello everyone, It has been a month of slow progress in July, mainly due to the collecting of all necessary documents to prepare for council submission. One of it is the Land Title copy of the land Lotus has, which is currently under mortgage with HLB and hence the original land title is kept with the Bank at the head office. Sarah and her son went to the bank to request for the certified true copy on the 6th of July (pic above), and was told that it would take up to three working weeks for it. Sarah just went back again yesterday to check on the status, but was told that the bank had misplaced her first request form and they still hadn't retrieve her documents. She had to do another request form and we are waiting for another week to check back. Meanwhile, the architect and planners have a tentative programme on how things may go towards building of the house: 1) Compiling information - 4 weeks (Current status)2) First Architecture Concept Layout - 2 weeks 3) Preparation of DO & Building Plan Submission - 4 weeks4) DO & Building Plans Submission - 2 days5) DO & Building Plans Approval - 3 months (at the least. This is in according to the usual speed of council approvals for such projects)6) Preparation of Construction Drawings once Approved - 1 month7) Preparation of Awarding Contractor - 2 weeks8) Commence of Construction Works - at least 6 months, depending on budget. With the above said, here are a few FAQs we have been getting: ***i) When will construction of the house begin?- As you can see for the above necessary steps, the earliest we can start is by end of the year when all the needed council approvals are obtained, which can take a while, and we also have to anticipate changes to the plans shall they arise. ii) How are the funds being used properly? - Sarah and I both agree that we have to jointly oversee the use of money and make sure there is check and balance. Right now we have set up a joint account with CIMB bank to hold the money for this project and have an arrangement that both of us are comfortable with and have faith in. The money from Simply Giving website is still with the website and yet to be transferred to this joint account (as of writing this). This joint account is for the sole purpose of building this new home.The budget of RM450,000 to complete this house (full furnished) that is approximately 3,500 sqf, puts our budget at RM 128/psf . This is a very tight budget and we will have to spend very carefully. Thank you to those also who have come forward to offer help on donating some building materials. Once the house is built, shall there be any surplus in the account, all will be moved to the Home's months operating account to help with their daily expenses and this joint account will be properly closed.iii) How else can people help?The home is always in need of help as they have 50 over residents in total (children plus old folks). Where possible for anyone, please do consider to step in and contribute a small sum to them on a monthly basis. Their running cost is quite high, and as you can imagine, feeding so many mouths is a constant challenge! The home goes through up to 50 cans of milk powder alone for the young children (Lactogen 1-5 y.o). Simply Giving is planning to work with the home to update their own fundraiser page that can help towards alleviating the stress of scraping by month to month, please do assist if you can. iv) Is my donation tax exempted? The Lotus Charity Care Centre has begun it's process to apply for tax exemption status but has not yet been granted. A check with other charities in the same position have told me that this is a lengthy process that is not often successful. While I agree that having a tax exemption status would simplify fund raising, it is precisely those who don't have that privilege need help the most. ***I am available to answer any reasonable comments and questions any donors have. I remain humbled and grateful for all the support people have been giving to this cause. Sincerely, Diani 2-Aug-2017 ______________________________________________________________________* 18 October 2017 Update *Hello everyone! Happy Deepavali! I am pleased to update that most of the documents needed to submit for building plans are ready. We are at stage 3 as listed in the steps above (a bit delayed so far but not that bad). We are also getting an engineer in to help do all the necessary site checks, ie. like soil testing. Due to the council setback requirement, the home needs to be 3 levels high in order to satisfy the minimum usage requirement of all the occupants. Donations are still slowly coming in, thank you everyone for that! We aren't that far off from our target! Please keep supporting and helping to spread awareness. Sincerely, Diani18 Oct 2017______________________________________________________________________* 19 February 2018 Update *Hello everyone! Please excuse my lack of updates for the past couple months. Things were moving slowly but they were and still is moving:) There are many (pro bono) departments that need to coordinate with each other and many documents need to flow back and forth to make sure that the house is properly built, and of course, following authority stipulations. Construction will begin at the soonest possible when all the approvals are obtained. And I am extremely happy to share that the target for his fund raiser is almost achieved! I am in regular contact without the Sarah, and the nice people from Simply Giving on the updates of incoming donations. The funds received and available are kept in a transparent and updated manner. I visit the Home once every two-three weeks, most recently last Friday. The children are all doing well, many have just turned school/kindergarten going age and are just starting their new exciting road to formal education. But sadly also there are two new babies who were taken in since my last update here. Both babies are well and healthy and oh so cute! There are now 28 children. I was asked before, why have I not put up the pictures of the children on this page. I don’t believe I need to, because I believe the children deserve their privacy, even when Sarah has given me permission to share their picture, I don’t feel that it is appropriate for me to do so, given what is put online somehow stays online forever. For those who would like to meet the children, you can always contact Sarah and schedule a visit. The children are happy to have visitors, especially if you bring Pizza Hut or KFC which are really luxury treats for them:) Thank you again everyone for your support towards this project. It really will change the lives of these children. Please continue to extend your generosity as and when you can, because even if the home building budget is available, they still need help monthly to get by . It's a big expense and burden for the home to feed so many mouths, and keep up with proper education with so many children. Wishing everyone a prosperous and healthy new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai! Sincerely, Diani 19 Feb 2018 _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________*29th April 2019 Update*Hello Everyone, Firstly, please excuse my long pause in writing updates here. The lacking of information here for the past year does not mean that work wasn't done. It was precisely because there were many administrative matters to sort out, plus a few hiccups in the planning process that we needed time to iron out all the matters related to building this home. I am very very pleased to finally share with everyone, that the construction for this new home will begin on 3rd May 2019!! All the necessary approvals have been obtained and logistics arranged for work to begin this week (of me writing)! The construction will likely complete in 12 months from now. Please refer to the latest pictures in the file. Even though financing of the construction for the home is somewhat secure, the home could use any extra savings or help that anyone can extend to them. There is also a list of materials needed. If there are any kind donors who can provide any of these items, please feel free to get in touch. I would like to thank everyone who has been on this journey with the home. My next update will be of a the home once it's completed:) Sincerely, Diani 29 April 2019_____________________________________________________________________________________29th June 2022 *Last Update for this Post*It is my great pleasure to inform all donors, offline and online, that Sarah and her Children have now moved into their new home. <3I have uploaded ten pictures taken from this morning. The children, led by Pastor Michael, sang, prayed and rejoiced in this new beginning for them, all while wearing bright smiles and celebratory outfits. I enjoyed myself too for I got to taste just-out-of-a-cow fresh milk for the first time *smiles* as part of a Hindu move-in ritual to symbolize prosperity and abundance for the new home.The journey to where they are not has not been an easy one. With the circumstances that the home faced, to build this up from scratch was a lot more challenging than initially anticipated, not to mention additional woes brought upon by the Covid-19 pandemic. But with the grace of all helpful good souls along the way, their dream has really come true. A once abandoned empty lot five years ago is not a tall roof sheltering laughter and joy.On behalf of Sarah and the children, we would like to give out utmost sincere thanks to all the donors, the architects, the consultants and the contractors for making this project happen. With this new home, I believe many aspects of the children’s life will be improved significantly, and with that, hopefully a better future awaits them. Your kindness has truly been life-changing. I hope that they continue to receive your generous donations and support for all their future endeavors.Fulfilling a promise with a grateful heart and folded palms, sincerely,Diani____________________________
