I am from a poor family. An orphan raised by a single mother, with another two siblings. I still remember the struggle that my mother suffered after my father passed away on 1998. We simply lost the backbone of our family. My mother waking up early in the morning (2.00 am-everyday) to make 'kuih' to be sell out on the stall and I helped to sell another half in my school. I still remember getting a warning from the canteen supervisor about selling outside food in the school, but it didn't stop me. I know how money was needed to raise us, so by helping her selling the 'kuih' she made, I know I relief her burden a little bit. 
We don't get any help from anyone. We just do what we can to help our selves. Alhamdulillah we all now have a good career and my mother doesn't need to work any more. 
What I want to tell from this is if we all could give a hand to help those whose in need especially single mothers and an orphans, it could give them a better life. InshaAllah
