PIIMA: Breathe Life Into India

by PAN INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT ALUMNI for Singapore Red Cross Society

The Pan IIM Alumni of Singapore (PIIMA) launched #BreatheLifeIntoIndia on 1 May with a simple mission - to save lives from COVID. PIIMA is working across its alumni network to place orders with trusted suppliers, organize logistics, make quality checks and get last-mile delivery organized. The community is leveraging its networks to identify supply sources within Singapore, Malaysia, China, Taipei and Turkey. PIIMA is working with partners such as the Singapore Red Cross, Temasek Foundation and the Indian High Commission as well as ACT Grants, a non-governmental organization that handles last-mile distribution in India. So far, over 2500 concentrators have been ordered, 6300 oxygen cylinders and eight Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) plants have already been shipped, to directly support patients and healthcare workers in hospitals. The team has identified more supplies, but needs more funds to provide more of these lifesaving medical resources. #BreatheLife team will work non-stop to ensure we get the right supplies into the right hands. For large corporate donations please contact [email protected] We know you may have questions -on sourcing, payments, last mile distribution etc. Please contact [email protected] or [email protected] Note: donations not eligible for tax deductions in Singapore. #BreatheLife Team thanks you in anticipation.

Gift a Meal of New Hope

by New Hope Community Services

Can you spare $10 to bless the displaced with hot meals? Wondering what to order for your next delivery meal? Our clients worry about their next meal too. Overwhelmed by the loss of jobs, chronic health problems, familial conflicts and isolation, securing their next meal is yet another addition to the many daily challenges they face. While New Hope provides a safe shelter and services to help our clients rebuild their lives, stricter Covid-19 measures have impacted our operations and our clients' ability to access food. With just $10 a day, 1 shelter resident will be able to access 3 nourishing meals (at $3.30 per packet of food). Your gift will feed former rough sleepers, families-in-need (including young children and youths-at-risk) and former offenders. By meeting their essential needs, your gift will enable our clients to stay safe and healthy during this pandemic. Thank you for your gift of New Hope!

If you'd like to also make a donation to help our seniors and low-income families in Singapore and receive 250% tax exemption, we invite you to do so here: https://s.giving.sg/vsB2G6y) In response to the conflict, and rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation in Gaza and the West Bank, the Singapore Red Cross (SRC) will be launching a public appeal to support the affected and vulnerable communities in the region. This will include the US$100,000 seed money by the Singapore Government in response to the Society's relief efforts. Working closely with the International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement Partners, the aid will be channeled towards emergency medical equipment and supplies, as well as food and non-food relief items that will be distributed in displaced shelters for the affected communities. Mr Benjamin William, Secretary General and CEO of Singapore Red Cross, said, While the conflict is complex and protracted, the humanitarian situation has rapidly worsened since mid-April 2021 and has since recorded a significant number of fatalities and casualties. In addition to medical support, it is also critical that we provide food and non-food relief items for those displaced as a result of the conflict. SRC will continue to work closely with our Red Cross Red Crescent Movement partners and stand ready to assist further, if necessary.

Help the terminally ill live and leave well

by JL KAH for Assisi Hospice

Learning that one's illness is not responsive to curative medical treatment and will worsen and eventually lead to death can be traumatic and difficult to process. Assisi Hospice provides end-of-life care for patients of any race, faith and financial condition with terminal illness. Assisi Hospice serves more than 2,000 patients yearly and in 2019, helped with 20 pro bono funerals (inpatient). 48% of Assisi Hospice's patients are poorest of the poor and means tested to the lowest income level. These patients may not have years to their life, but your generosity can help them live their remaining days with less pain, less suffering, more comfort, more love and with dignity. Will you help these needy patients with terminal illness live and leave well? *Special note to a special donor: Many people are not comfortable hearing about end-of-life matters. I'm real glad you have read this far. Thank you. It is not an easy journey for the patients and their families and it is heart-warming to know that there are angels, like you, who are ready to help. Thank you so much.

Project Journey With You

by Loving Heart Multi-Service Centre (Jurong)

Ms Siti (not her real name) was in the midst of an emotionally draining divorce and suffered from breast cancer during her pregnancy. We got to know of her case when she was trying to make ends meet and stepped in to assist her household and her children's necessities. She has since given birth, is recovering from her illness and much more stable at the moment. As the project name suggests, we aspire to be that helping hand on our clients' road to recovery and tread the journey with them until they can stand on their feet. Sponsored by Baring Private Equity Asia and its staff members, Project Journey With You is a targeted fundraising administrative plan for Jurong Central. The first run of the project will reach out to 400 households in Jurong Central's rental estate with interim assistance packages. Each set will include $15 Ezlink Card and $25 NTUC Voucher. The modalities of support will be varied, and will evolve with time.
