Charities Week 2023

by Caritas Singapore Community Council - The Caritas Singapore Agape Fund

As we attempt to put the pandemic behind us, other troubles have emerged. Large increase in cost of living, threat of economic downturn and violent conflicts greet us daily in the news and in life. This is no doubt a challenging time for everyone but for some of us, it is immensely tough. Join us to support Charities Week 2023, an annual fundraising campaign to empower the work of Caritas Singapore Catholic charities that serve the poor, vulnerable, and marginalised in our community. Lent is ultimately about looking forward to the rise of our Lord who died in love for us. So as we await Easter, let us return that love by coming together to help our fellow brothers and sisters in need. Let us allow the light of God's love to shine through us. Let us rise above the darkness of our time. Let us rise as one.

Join me in supporting children and families impacted by cancer #hairforhope2023

by Barathan for Children's Cancer Foundation

Dear Friends, as we start the new year with hopes for better days ahead, let's not forget those less fortunate among us. That is why I am supporting the #HairforHope2023 campaign, to raise funds for children and families impacted by childhood cancer. I will be shaving my head at the kick-off satellite event at Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery on 30 Apr 2023 to inspire community support for the beneficiaries served by Children's Cancer Foundation (CCF). As a liver transplant donor, I strongly believe in how any form act of kindness can make a significant impact on the life of someone in need. I started out as a volunteer at CCF, 29 years ago. Over the years, I had the opportunity to meet many brave and courageous children who were fighting cancer. These children showed me strength and resilience, and it was truly humbling to witness. I hope that you can join me in supporting them by donating generously towards my campaign. Acts of kindness are simpler ways to make someone's day. You can also donate to my profile through Hair for Hope website at https://www.hairforhope.org.sg/shavee/barathan-pasupathi-12994 Together, we can MAKE A BALD STATEMENT! Barathan Pasupathi

New Lives, New Futures!

by NeuGen Fund

What is it like to learn that your parent is in prison? Or worse, watching them arrested in front of your own eyes? When an individual goes to prison, little has been said about how the children can be at the extreme losing end. The children often grappled with the silent sadness, crippling anxiety and loneliness going through such a traumatic experience. Forced to carry on with daily lives without the person whom they love the most, some may even choose to hide away from their peers and community to avoid the social stigma and feelings of shame. There is also the real risk of intergenerational offending - according to a 2020 study by MSF and NCSS, these children and youths are about three times more likely to offend. When we take a closer look at children with drug abusing parents, one in every five 2 of them is very likely to experience intergenerational offending (Info source: Singapore Prison Service, Correctional Research Branch). Yet, we choose to see them beyond their circumstances. Through the Neu Empowerment Model comprising four pillars of education, personal voice, growth, and nurturing environment, we hope to provide holistic empowerment to all the children and youths under our care. PLEASE JOIN US IN EMPOWERING THE CHILDREN! Your donation can be the great enabler in rebuilding their lives and instill a sense of hope for their future. New lives, new futures!

Dyna-Mac Fundraises for Singapore Christian Home

by DYNA-MAC ENGINEERING SERVICES PTE LTD for Singapore Christian Home

Dyna-Mac Engineering Services Pte Ltd, a company that believes in giving back to the community, is committed to take the initiative to rally its staff and corporate partners to launch a fund-raising campaign to support the Singapore Christian Home. This not-for-profit nursing home has been providing medical and nursing care to the destitute and people from very low-income families for the past 63 years. Unfortunately, the Home has been facing increasing operational costs in the last 2 years due to expanded services and the pandemic. It has also had to carry out various capital improvement projects as the current site at Sembawang Crescent is already 10 years old. As a result, the Home has been incurring budget shortfalls in the last 2 financial years. The fundraising campaign aims to raise funds to support the Home's core mission of providing medical and nursing care to those in need, regardless of their background. The funds raised will also help the Home carry out necessary capital improvement projects to improve the living environment of the residents. Dyna-Mac targets to raise $100,000 to help the Home in this challenging times so that they can continue their mission to care for the vulnerable.
