It has not been easy for Sharon Lee, 60, single mother of a child with special needs, these last few years.

Lee set up the Tender Hearts Cafe in Subang Jaya, Selangor, in April 2018 to offer skills training and job opportunities for special needs youths aged 17 and above who have completed their special or secondary education.
