Ren Ci Hospital - Season of Heart & Hope

by Ren Ci Hospital

Brighten up our seniors' lives this season of love, joy & giving! An unprecedented year as we adapt to living with the coronavirus while continuing our delivery of care across our facilities. COVID-19 has altered daily routines and disrupted family interactions in our nursing homes. As we adapt to the new normal, let us not forget what this pandemic has taught us. To love, to listen, to care, to respect and to help. While every bit of our resilience during this challenging time goes to ensure that our patients, residents and clients remain safe under our care, your kind donation will go a long way to support the psychosocial needs of our nursing home residents, giving them the hope to embrace a new normal through your loving kindness and compassion. As we head towards the season of giving this Christmas and Lunar New Year 2021, you can spread heart and hope to our seniors. In return, for every donations received, the seniors will be folding heart-shaped origami for an art installation at Ren Ci Community Hospital. Let your act of giving grows the tree of heart and hope!

GIFT chronically ill children & their families HOPE to fight on

by JL KAH for Club Rainbow (Singapore)

Living with a chronic condition can be challenging for a child. In addition, there may be frequent hospital visits where the treatments and procedures can be frightening or painful. Parents, watching their child struggle physically and emotionally, can feel painful and helpless and, caring for a child with chronic illness can be draining - mentally, emotionally, physically as well as financially. Club Rainbow (Singapore) provides a comprehensive range of services in empowering and enabling children with chronic illnesses and their families through five core aspects, namely emotional support, educational support, social support, financial assistance and informational support. With your generous donation, chronically ill children and their families can receive free access to home & hospital counselling, befriender services, educational seminars and monthly food rations & essentials. The children can also attend tuition (at centre, hospital or home), therapy workshops, arts development and vocational development classes. Although their days ahead may be fraught with challenges, your kind support can certainly make the journey a little more bearable and the load on their shoulders, a little less heavy. Thank you so much for gifting chronically ill children and their families HOPE to fight on, and to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Help support the homeless in the community!

by AMKFSC Community Services

There is an increasing concern over the issue of homelessness in the community. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many such individuals and families have been chased away from open or public places. As they have fallen through the cracks, we have seen more homeless individuals and families requiring safe shelters. A service under AMKFSC, Transition Plus renders temporary shelter services for individuals and families with children who have exhausted all means of accommodation, while maintaining their security, health and safety within the environment through casework and counselling, group work and programmes. "If I am able to have a place for me to stay, I can focus more on getting a job to support me and provide for my family," said Mr Teo*. For many like Mr Teo*, a safe shelter provides a starting point for them and their families to get back on their feet. You can be the one to extend this helping hand! Donate now! Your donation will go into provision of necessities that will help to support and start-up their moving and transitional process, including home furniture and basic needs like household appliances for their new shelter. *Names have been changed to protect the beneficiary's identity

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.

A Little Kindness, Lots of Joy

by Singapore Children's Society

The Lunar New Year is a festive period which typically speaks of family reunion. However, big celebrations and reunions this year will not be the same due to COVID-19 social distancing measures. Nonetheless, for some, even small family gatherings are not possible. Madam Tan* is the main caregiver looking after her two granddaughters as her son is incarcerated. She brings them regularly to Children Outreach @ Children's Society for tele-visits with their father under our Project LADDER programme. This programme is a joint initiative with Singapore Prison Service to allow children aged 16 and below to maintain communication with their incarcerated parent at our centre. Project LADDER seeks to sustain and strengthen positive relationships and connections for families who are affected by incarceration. Help spread kindness this Lunar New Year and support us in our efforts to strengthen family ties through programmes like Project LADDER. We invite you to embrace the spirit of giving and make a difference in the lives of our beneficiaries through our annual fundraising project, A Little Kindness, Lots of Joy! Donate today! *Name has been changed to protect the identity of our beneficiary

Help Save Mindi's Leg

by Save Our Street Dogs

Once again, a million thanks to everyone who shared our posts and helped lead Mindi back to us. Mindi is now safe at the vet, but had gotten into an accident while she was out there. While it was clear that she had injured her leg, as she was limping and her leg was swollen, we were shocked to see the x-rays. The two parallel bones in her front leg had been broken and knocked out of alignment completely! She must have been hit hard :( It's lucky she hadn't broken skin, which would have caused an infection sooner. It is truly amazing how she had survived 15 days, with the excruciating pain, still limping around to search for food to keep herself alive. She truly is a fighter! We are so inspired by Mindi and her will to live. If you'd like to help contribute to her surgery and recovery, please donate! Thank you so much!
