No job too big for one-legged handyman

Chin Wei Fui is a much loved volunteer at several welfare homes under the care of Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang.

From the porch to backyard and even up on the roof of these homes, he attends to all the maintenance so that the residents can live there comfortably.

Such chores are strenuous but Chin, who has only one leg, does them with a grin.

He only received a prosthesic leg last September. Before that, he was moving about the homes using crutches.

The burn scar that covers 70% of his body used to frighten the new residents at these homes, but they soon felt at ease with this hardworking 45-year-old.

Chin feels that he should work harder, because he has lost more than 20 years of his life to drug dependency.

He also does painting and other tough jobs that require him to work under the sun.

He gives all his earnings to the drug rehabilitation centre he graduated from and keeps only RM200 a month for himself.

I think giving back to the centre that saved my life means much more than spending money on myself.

The centre brought me to my faith, showed me love, hope and my worth, he said.
