Donate to Red Cross Response in Ukraine

by Singapore Red Cross Society

(Note: Donations to overseas efforts are not tax-deductible. Receipts will only be issued upon request.) This is a fundraising appeal by the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) for the Humanitarian Crisis in Ukraine. Your donation will provide immediate aid for the vulnerable -- unaccompanied minors, women with children, elderly & people with disabilities; support their basic needs like shelter, food/water, & psychosocial support. In response to the fast-growing refugee crisis, SRC has contributed $2.5 million in humanitarian aid to Ukraine and 6 neighbouring countries - Poland, Hungary, Lithuania, Slovakia, Moldova and Romania. SRC Secretary General/CEO Benjamin William: "The combination of an active and bloody conflict, extreme cold weather and Covid-19 means that for the people in the conflict regions and those who have been displaced from their homes, the days ahead will be a struggle for survival. The humanitarian needs on the ground will continue to rise as the conflict intensifies. Our team has been working closely with the Ukrainian Red Cross, the IFRC, the ICRC, and other National Societies to ensure the most appropriate and timely response." The humanitarian needs are massive & the operations are complex, with the ongoing conflict & border crisis hurting innocent civilians. We call for your support to this critical humanitarian operation. If you'd also like to support our local causes & receive tax deduction on your donation, please visit https://s.giving.sg/oAkoW1e

CAL 4 MENTAL WELLNESS

by Caregivers Alliance Limited

CAL FOR MENTAL WELLNESS (C4MW) aims to raise funds for Caregivers Alliance Limited (CAL) to continue supporting caregivers of persons with mental health issues in the community. Tapping on the Tote Board Enhanced Fund-Raising Programme, we aim to raise $500,000, for dollar-to-dollar matching from the Government, capped at $250,000. Besides raising funds, the campaign aims to boost mental health awareness and literacy among the general public. We also hope to spread awareness about the availability of fully-funded programmes and services for caregivers of people with mental health issues, that are offered by CAL. We are rallying the community and caregivers to get creative and start their own mini campaigns in support of the cause. Anyone interested to participate can choose any activity and seek donations to complete milestones or commitments. For example, "If I receive $10,000 in donations, I will cycle around the island" or "If I receive $500 I will conduct a zoom baking class for 10 people". CAL will lead several activities that anyone can participate in. Suggestions for campaigns will be provided on our website (cal4mentalwellness.sg), and social media, and we will feature public-led campaigns throughout the four week period to inspire and motivate others. All campaign creators will be referred to as Mental Wellness Champions (MWCs). This sets the ball rolling for CAL's foray into developing a pool of MWCs within the community.

Ukraine Emergency Response

by World Vision Singapore

Families are helpless as conflict escalates across Ukraine. The shrill sound of sirens linger in the air as families are forcibly separated and displaced. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, more than 500,000 people in Ukraine have fled the country since Thursday, into neighbouring countries. It is heart-breaking that countless children will bear the brunt of this conflict, forced from their homes and schools as they flee in search of safety. Children are separated from their fathers as their fathers stay behind in Ukraine to fight for the country. Mothers who have been forced to flee their homes alone with their children without their husbands are afraid at the thought that they will probably have to care for their children alone, without their partners. Children are confused and in despair. Many are fearful and in tears. World Vision is on the ground supporting refugees in Romania and is actively scaling up our response in accordance with the needs identified. Right now, your support means care and protection for children affected by the Ukraine crisis. Save Lives Now!

2022 Medical Fundraiser

by Save Our Street Dogs

*MEDICAL FUNDRAISER 2022* Thank you for your continuous support for our work through the years. It is only with your donations, that we are able to continue caring for the 60 dogs at our shelter at The Animal Lodge, 30 dogs with fosterers, 150 dogs at our shelter in Jurong Island and even more strays still roaming out there. This year, 2022, is SOSD's 10th year in dog rescue, and while many of our original rescues have been adopted, there are some that have stayed with us through the years due to difficulties in getting them adopted. This means an ageing population of dogs that we are now looking after. In the past few months, we have also taken in more old, sick, or injured dogs. With each rescue, depending on their condition, their initial visit to the vet could easily set us back by more than $1000. If they're ill, and need to be warded, the vet bills climb steadily with each passing day that they spend at the vet for proper care and treatment. But we simply cannot turn a blind eye to these poor, defenseless dogs. Do donate if you can, so we can continue to help these dogs in need. Thank you!

Just love

by Woo Mei Lin Jacqueline for Marymount Centre

God willing, I turn 60 this month. I would like to mark this milestone by raising funds for Marymount Centre. I found out in July 2016 that I had a brain tumor that I could literally drop dead from. When I woke up in HDU after the operation, I wanted to turn onto my side but couldn't. Recovery took some 5 months of rehab, sleeping in an upright position in a chair and another operation. So, what have I learnt? BE GRATEFUL. For my faith: In my darkest moments, I realized that I do believe in God and eternal life. For being alive and well: The things we take for granted are gifts - brushing your own teeth, feeding yourself, walking ... For my family and friends: People make the difference. My husband who stayed with me in hospital and worked with me daily on my rehab. All the prayers that were offered. The calls and messages. For being able to work: I enjoy working. And fortunately, there seems to be enough project work for lawyers. For my good comfortable life: Medical costs were covered by insurance. Indeed, I could even claim under my critical illness cover. GIVE BACK. Marymount Centre helps women and children who are in need of a safe haven - journeying with them in the healing process and empowering them to rebuild their lives. 'Just love' sums up what permeates Marymount Centre - unwavering unconditional love for the women and children, without needing or expecting love or respect in return. ENJOY AND BE A JOY.

Help disadvantaged students achieve their dreams

by AMKFSC Community Services

People often say that hard work is the key to success. Unfortunately, not all roads leading to it are paved the same. Many of our student beneficiaries drop out of post-secondary education to reduce their families' financial burdens, sacrificing their goals in the process. This is a struggle that the Liang family understood well. Unable to complete their education due to poor socio-economic circumstances, they were inspired to help disadvantaged students complete their academic journey and reach their fullest potential through the Liang Family Education Fund. The fund continues the siblings' legacy by providing AMKFSC Community Services' post-secondary student beneficiaries with a strong academic foundation, so that they can move ahead in life. With the increase in applications over the last year, our Post-Secondary Education Fund aims to continue the Liang family's legacy so that deserving students can continue receiving the support they need to pursue their education. By offsetting a significant portion of school fees and necessary expenses, the fund helps high-potential students from low-income families focus on what matters most: their education. Transform the lives of needy students by making a donation today!
