Deputy Minister for Tourism, Creative Industry and Performing Arts Datuk Sebastian Ting called on the public to help the family of 3-year-old Rebecca Rayam Robson, who is in urgent need of surgery at the National Heart Institute (IJN).

Ting who is also Chairman of SUPP Piasau appeals for donations to help cover expenses which is expected to reach RM40,000.

Ting said he hoped that they can reach the target of RM35,000 for Rebecca and look forward to the kind Mirians to give a helping hand.

Rebecca, who suffers from Supracardiac Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Drainage (TAPVD) and Large Unrestrictive Atrial Septal Defect (ASD), was only diagnosed last month after being hospitalised for 12 days following a bout of severe pneumonia. She is scheduled for admission at IJN on Oct 1 for surgical correction for her heart ailment. At the moment, she weighs less than 10kg and is the size of a toddler half her age.

Her parents, Robson Benedick Grunsin and Ferrina David, 26 are still trying to grasp the seriousness of Rebecca’s diagnosis, which prompted Miri Hospital to urgently arrange an appointment with an IJN specialist for treatment. Robson earns less than RM 2000 a month as a mechanic while Ferrina is a housewife. The couple also have two other daughters, aged eight and five.

Members of the public can channel donations to the Sehati Service & Information Centre bank account number 110270010015028 at Alliance Bank.
