Singapore – A young migrant worker who came to Singapore to make a better life for his family had his right leg amputated after an accident at work and facing mounting medical bills that already top $114,000.

Four were unloaded safely, but the last one could not be hooked for hoisting.. The operator could not control it properly and the heavy piece of steel crushed Vinoth’s leg. He was rushed to the nearest hospital and had multiple operations.The injured leg became infected and the infection began to spread upwards, so doctors had no choice but to amputate, according to Give Asia.

The campaign says that Vinoth may receive compensation of S$45,000, if that is approved by an insurance company.
