The shared goal of Tzu Chi volunteers is to cultivate sincerity, integrity, faith, and honesty within while exercising kindness, compassion, joy, and selflessness to humanity through concrete actions. Transcending the bounds of race, nationality, language, and religion, they serve the world under the notion that “when others are hurting, we feel their pain; when others suffer, we feel their sorrow

Record : Margret
Among all the sufferings in life — birth, aging, illness, and death — illness brings the greatest pain, especially when poverty and lack of medical care make the situation even harder.
This case involves an elderly woman, around 80 years old, suffering from diabetes. Her only government subsidy was taken by her son, leaving her helpless. Both legs developed severe infections due to poor circulation, with three open wounds that even bred maggots.
Volunteers guided the local team on how to clean and disinfect the wounds, keep the environment sanitary, change dressings properly, and provide comfort and emotional support to the patient.
May our care help her regain a sense of dignity and warmth in life.
在人生的苦中，最苦的莫過於「病」。
當貧困與疾病同時襲來，當身邊再無依靠，苦更是加倍。
這位近八十歲的老婦，罹患糖尿病，雙腳因循環不良而壞死，三處傷口潰爛，甚至長出蛆蟲。
她唯一的政府補助，卻被不肖的兒子奪走。
在這樣的環境中，唯有志工們的到訪與關懷，帶來了一絲光。
我們教導本土志工如何為她清理傷口、保持衛生、避免感染，也陪伴她度過一個又一個漫長的夜。
願這份關懷，能讓她重新感受到生命的尊嚴與溫度。

Makause 火災急難救助16戶
Last week, three fires broke out in the Maukause, Primrose area, affecting a total of 16 households. One of the major fires involving 11 homes was caused by illegal electrical connections.
Volunteers carried out an emergency relief activity, distributing rice, blankets, and food parcels to the affected families.
They also conducted brief fire safety education, reminding residents to use gas, coal, and electric stoves with caution, and to look out for one another since tin-roof houses are easily set ablaze.
Volunteers offered words of comfort and encouragement, hoping the residents can soon rebuild their homes and restore their lives

Makause Case Home Visit
Due to age-related illnesses and diabetes, his feet have severe poor circulation and maggots infesting the wounds. His family took his pension card and abandoned him. Government hospice care is limited and difficult for the average person to access.
What's needed now is...home care and assistance from a group of volunteers. Cases like this are common in squartercamp 😓😓😓

馬拉松火災急難救助——14戶受災家庭獲關懷發放
日期：2025年 7月22日
活動名稱 ：火災急難救助
發放地點：Marathon primrose
慈濟志工前往馬拉松地區，為14戶受火災影響的家庭進行急難救助發放。這起火災發生在7 ／18星期五傍晚，地點在primrose的鐵皮屋區。由於這些地區常使用煤油爐煮食，一旦不慎，就容易引發火災，並迅速蔓延，波及周圍住戶。
這次的大火造成14戶家庭的房屋全毀，災民原本就處於貧困之中，幾乎失去了一切。災後，他們暫時借住在鄰居家中，之後會再慢慢以鐵皮重新搭建住所，繼續生活。
慈濟志工此次帶來了白米、食物包、毛毯、舊衣物及其他生活物資，協助災民度過眼前的難關。在發放現場，我們也遇見了前來訪查的紅十字會實習生，了解災情並評估紅十字會後續能提供的支援。
這場急難救助發放圓滿完成，也促成了慈濟與其他人道組織的初步接觸。無論在哪裡，只要有災難與困苦的家庭，我們都希望能結合社會各方力量，傳遞愛心，幫助災民重建希望。
Emergency Relief for 14 Households Affected by Fire in Marathon
Today, Tzu Chi volunteers carried out an emergency fire relief distribution for 14 households in Marathon. The fire broke out on Friday evening in one of the informal settlements commonly found in Black communities, where homes are often constructed from corrugated iron sheets. These areas are prone to fires due to the frequent use of paraffin stoves. Once a fire starts, it can quickly spread and affect multiple households.
In this case, all 14 homes were completely destroyed, and the affected families—already living in poverty—lost everything. They are now temporarily staying with neighbors and will slowly begin to rebuild their shelters with iron sheets.
Tzu Chi volunteers responded by distributing rice, food parcels, blankets, second-hand clothing, and other essential supplies to help the victims through this difficult time. During the distribution, we also met some Red Cross interns who came to assess the situation and explore how the Red Cross could assist.
This emergency relief effort was successfully completed and also served as an opportunity to connect with other humanitarian organizations. Wherever there is disaster or poverty, we hope to work together with the community and society at large to spread love and bring hope to those in need.
