A TikTok video shared by Nur’ain Shuhada Mohd Razali, 26, showing a woman selling fruit on the sidewalk while caring for her five young children, went viral and sparked widespread compassion.
Nur’ain, who was moved by the sight of the children, one lying in their mother’s lap and others sleeping on the floor, decided to record the moment to raise awareness.
The woman, Juliana, is a single mother facing immense challenges, including caring for two children with autism and a baby with respiratory issues.
After her husband left her shortly after their youngest was born, Juliana struggled to make ends meet despite receiving some aid from the welfare department.
Since the video, Juliana has received significant support, and Nur’ain has helped her with essentials, with plans to assist further, including providing housing.
Juliana no longer sells on the street but now bakes and delivers goods to nearby shops.
The kindness shown by the online community has brought hope and a brighter future to Juliana and her children. Those wishing to help can contact Nur’ain via TikTok @aienshuhada1998. —Dec 8, 2024
