Supporting Hope: Company Launches Fundraising Campaign for Sick Employees

Yan Mei, hang in there! On September 1st of this year, Yan Mei, a 51-year-old employee in the company's electrical workshop, went to the fever clinic for a checkup due to a cold and fever, and was found to have a very low white blood cell count. She was subsequently diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia and transferred to the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University for treatment. In October 2010, Yan Mei and her husband, Qi Lianghong, came to Jianghuai Electric and worked together in the electrical workshop. The couple worked diligently at the company, completing production tasks on time and to a high standard; they were hardworking and resilient employees. Yan Mei's daily hospital expenses were like water flowing away. To date, medical expenses have exceeded 100,000 yuan. Meanwhile, due to a shortage of blood supplies at the hospital, plasma and platelets had to be purchased from outside sources, and their child had resigned from their job to come to Suzhou to care for her. They all had to take care of themselves and could not get reimbursed. The doctor told me that they would need nearly one million yuan in medical expenses in the future. Her lover, Qi Lianghong, has put the couple's only property on the market with a real estate agency, preparing to sell it at a low price to cover medical expenses, but this is still a drop in the bucket compared to the enormous cost of treatment. Upon learning of this situation, the company's Party Committee and Trade Union immediately launched a donation campaign and issued an appeal, encouraging all employees to take action to help Yan Mei overcome her difficulties.
