The hefty medical bills of Thai teenager Nitcharee Peneakchanasak has been kindly paid by the Rotary E-Club of Singapore on Wednesday.
The club presented a S$45,022 cheque to Tan Tock Seng Hospital to pay for Nitcharee's hospital bills. The 14-year-old lost both her legs after she was hit by a train in April at Ang Mo Kio MRT station.
Club president Budi Soehardi was joined by club members when he handed cheque to the hospital.
According to Channel News Asia, the money used comes from a S$50,000 donation made by an anonymous Singaporean. The donor is said to be a property tycoon based in Hong Kong and he was impressed by the cheerful teenager.
The remaining S$5,000 will be donated to her on 30 June.
