Give Them The Reason To Celebrate

by Methodist Welfare Services

The year-end festive season is a special time for many, but it can feel very different for the people we serve. The festive season is an especially challenging time for isolated seniors who live alone and low income families who cannot afford what most parents would do, buy gifts for their children. Mdm Tan and her husband, Mr Lim, are on our MWS Family Development Programme (FDP). 2 years ago, they owed over $3,000 from items bought on instalment from an appliance store, and more than $1,000 of housing arrears, on top of their utilities, telco, and Town Council debts. Their younger daughter, Fen, suffered from meningitis when she was a baby, leaving her with health issues throughout her young life. The family of 4 survived on Mr Lim's monthly gross salary of $1,800 as a kitchen assistant. The young couple felt like they were drowning in debt, but the bills kept coming. Today, they have cleared their debts and are finally saving. Mr Lim has also secured a better paying job. For the first time, the family has money left at the end of the month which they faithfully save in the bank. Each dollar saved is matched with $2 from MWS FDP, and they have also picked up some financial planning skills. This Christmas, these parents are finally able to afford gifts for their 2 daughters, Fen, now 4, and Lin, now 7. Mdm Tan's family was given the reason to celebrate this festive season. The reason is hope. Your giving can turn helplessness into hope. Thank you for your generosity.

Gift a meal to at-risk youth

by Trybe Limited

For a lot of us, work and busyness in our lives often takes time away from our family. Taking it slow and having family meals together strengthen our ties, keep us connected, and help cultivate values. But for many of Trybe's disadvantaged and at-risk youth clients, having a meal together with their family not only means physical nourishment, but psychological and emotional as well. For these youth, who may come from complex backgrounds, shared mealtimes may be a first step in restoring relationships between them and their families. This Chinese New Year season, be an advocate for restoration through giving. Support building stronger family bonds by gifting at-risk youth with a special family time together today. All proceeds will go towards family-client related programmes and activities in Trybe that actively carve quality time for the youth and their loved ones.

Feed Our Jurong Island Dogs

by Save Our Street Dogs

Other than vet fees, one of SOSD's largest expense is on dog food. In our shelter at Sungei Tengah, we have an average of 80 dogs at any one time, and that uses up approximately 3 large bags of food PER DAY! However, these are not the only dogs that we feed. Together with Noah's Ark Cares, SOSD runs a Trap-Neuter-Release-Manage programme on Jurong Island (JI). With 200 dogs in our JI shelter, and another 150 strays that we feed, feeding the dogs on JI is quite a feat. Just for JI alone, SOSD needs to fork out an average of $4500 each month, even after huge discounts from suppliers. Due to strict regulations on the island, members of the public are not allowed to feed the stray dogs. Thus, it falls back fully on our staff to go around the island to feed them on a daily basis, rain or shine. We need your help to continue feeding these dogs, and to continue caring for all the dogs under SOSD's care. From now till 31 March 2020, all your donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar through the $200M Bicentennial Community Fund (BCF), up to a cap of $400,000. So do make your donations soon to maximize your contribution! Find out more here: https://www.mccy.gov.sg/about-us/news-and-resources/press-statements/2019/mar/$200m-bicentennial-community-fund-to-boost-efforts-of-ipcs-and-grow-sg-cares We hope to raise $15000, to cover the food cost incurred from January to March. Please donate if you can, and help us share the message with your friends and family. Thank you!
