# M’sian Kids Who Were Sent To Orphanage Grateful To Be Together, Hope To Ease Dad’s Burden When Older

##### Just days after a heartbreaking story of a father who sent his three children to an orphanage due to poverty went viral, the same three siblings have now spoken up — and their message is simple: they still love their father, and they want to take care of him one day.

The children, aged 5, 7 and 9, are currently staying at Jaz Home, Teluk Intan, after their father — a lorry driver earning around RM2,600 a month — made the painful decision to give them up because he could no longer afford food, schooling and living expenses.

But instead of resentment, the eldest child told[ reporters](https://www.kosmo.com.my/2025/10/19/bila-besar-kami-mahu-bahagiakan-bapa) that the only thing they want is to study hard, get good jobs, and “make Papa proud.”

> **When we grow up, we want to help our father and make him happy. **"**We want to study hard, go to university, and get good jobs.”
> **— The 9-year-old, speaking on behalf of the siblings"

## They’re grateful to stay together

Despite their situation, the children said they feel thankful that they are still with one another, adding that they have made new friends and finally have a stable environment, proper meals and a chance to return to school.

A caretaker at the home also revealed that before this, the family tried staying at a children’s centre in KL — but the cost of living was so high that their father could barely eat.

> **Sometimes he told us he only had coffee in the morning, bread in the afternoon, and rice at night.”**

The caretaker added that the father cried when he left them, saying it was the “only way to give them a better future.”
