A 56-year-old Indonesian woman who looks after her bed-ridden Taiwanese
husband and their disabled son, has been given an early Mother’s day
present by a foundation of volunteers who look after the needy.

The woman <http://img.ltn.com.tw/2018/new/may/11/images/bigPic/600_94.jpg>,
Ar Lan, married her Taiwanese husband 26 years ago and they lived
in Shinmen village in Guoxing Town in Nantou County, where they raised
chickens for a living.

Four years ago her 84-year-old husband was involved in a traffic accident
which left him bed-ridden, The Liberty Times reported. The couple already
had a son who had disabilities and depended on his mother to take care of
him

The Caotun branch of the Genesis Social Welfare Foundation learned of the
difficulties faced by Ar Lan and her family, and so the foundation
caregiver, social worker and volunteers visit them every month to provide
home nursing care and psychological support.

Because Mother’s Day is approaching, volunteers from the foundation visited
on Thursday and presented the hard-working mother with a cake and flowers.
Ar Lan was touched and said she would continue to take a positive attitude
towards life despite the stress and pressure she was under.
