Seong Veha is a resilient 6-year-old boy in grade 1. His family faces significant financial hardship, as his mother is a widowed homemaker with no income. They rely on his older sister, who, in her early twenties, supports the family by sending US$100 each month from her earnings. Due to their limited means, they also receive government assistance of 34,000 Riel (about S$11). It is also noted that Veha goes to school with not enough textbooks as his mother cannot afford to buy the full sets of textbooks for him The family’s monthly expenses weigh heavily on their modest income, with 140,000 Riel (approximately S$46) spent on rice alone, and an additional 8,000 Riel (S$2.60) needed daily for food. Even with the combined support, they struggle to cover their basic needs, creating a constant strain on their limited resources.
