在吃饱喝足之余，我们可有想到身边还有很多等待接济的一群人？
“踏脚石生活中心”成立于1998年，位于吉隆坡士布爹花园，是一间专为孤儿、寡妇、被遗弃的孤老而设的关爱中心。该中心共租有五所收留所，容纳103个孤儿、8名单亲妈妈及7名孤老。其中55名儿童到正规学校求学，另外10名年纪较大的则在技术学校上课。
根据该中心负责人约翰生神父透露：该中心每月开支超过RM15,000，包括五间屋子的租金、交通费、食物、学费及水电费。由于不获政府津贴，只靠善心人士的捐款维持下去。
如果你打算对这个中心伸出援手，现金捐献最受欢迎。此外，大葱、蒜头、马铃薯、鸡蛋、豆畔、沙丁鱼、咖喱粉、洗衣粉、洗碗剂都是他们最迫切需要的日常所需的食品及用品。
Stepping stones Living Centre Sdn. Bhd. was started in 1998 along the Taman Seputeh vicinity, Kuala Lumpur. This is a centre which houses many under privileged children, single mothers and neglected old folks. They have five premises used as living quarters for the vast number of people involved. 105 orphans live in with eight single mothers, seven senior folks and 55 of the children attend school, another 10 of them go for living skill classes.
Pastor Rev Johnson revealed to us that the basic cost of living for the centre alone comes to at least RM15, 000.00 plus. This sum covers the rental, school bus fare, food, school fees, water and electricity usage. The Home totally depends on contributions from well-wishes and friends.
Be a friend in need as you are a friend indeed. You may contribute in cash or food form towards their basic need of big onions, garlics, potatoes, eggs, lentils, canned sardines, packets of curry powder. Even soap powder or dishwashing detergent could be a blessing in disguise.
