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.

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.
