It will be more conducive for the children,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p>Perianayagi said that if everything went according to plan, the home would be relocated within a few weeks.  <\/p>\n<p>However, she said the home was in dire need of necessities such as electrical appliances and furniture. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We need things like beds, tables, chairs, mattresses, pillows, refrigerator, a washing machine, computers and cupboards as well as other household things,&#8221; said Perianayagi.  <\/p>\n<p>She hoped generous well-wishers would come forward to help her by providing the necessary items. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are not asking for money but would be grateful if people provided us with these things,&#8221; she said. <\/p>\n<p> Those interested in helping Per-satuan Kebajikan Rumah Jeevan can do so by calling 03-3372 2714 or 016-343 5359 or by visiting the home at No 3, Lorong Nam Nam, Taman Dato Amar, Klang.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Single mum with a heart of gold source By WANI MUTHIAH She uses EPF savings to set up a home for underprivileged children HER experiences as a single mother has shown A.
