by St. John's Home For Elderly Persons

/A BIG THANK YOU to all donors who enabled us to hit our targeted $100K! To complete the project, we still need $5 million more. Do kindly continue to spread the word and support./ We are a team of eight residents, aged 66 to 90, from St. John's Home For Elderly Persons which is located at 69 Wan Tho Ave. We took up the challenge of helping our Home raise $100,000, as part of the funds to build our new Home. Though not savvy in digital media, we shot this video entirely on our own using mobile phone! Please take 3 minutes to check out the video and support our effort to raise funds for our new Home by donating generously. Our Home needs to raise about a total of another $5 Million for our new building project! (St John's Home for Elderly Persons has occupied 69 Wan Tho Avenue since the beginning. The lease on the land expired on 31 Dec 2015. We are very grateful to be able to secure a fresh 30-year lease beginning on 1 January 2016 for 3,300sqm, a part of the 12,000sqm of land we have long occupied. Thanks to the support of many well wishers, we are on our way to building a new Home to care for existing and new residents. We will have the Groundbreaking Ceremony on 1 Sep 2018 and our new Home is slated to be ready by end 2020).

Help Jamie hit SGD20K in 20 hours for EQUAL-ARK

by Equal-Ark Singapore Ltd

Help Jamie raise SGD20,000 at the HK-128 Run (http://www.hk168.com.hk/Half-168/) The run will take place on the 1st-2nd of December in Hong Kong. Jamie has been training hard to complete 87km with 6000 meters of elevation in a total of just 20 hours to raise money for the kids and elderly at Equal-Ark. These kids have received our unique and innovative programme of horse-based therapy, to restore self-confidence, self-esteem and a positive self-worth, as well as to develop strong Character Skills, such as Courage, Responsibility, Empathy, Resilience, Mindfulness, Persistence, Communication and Wisdom. With a new self-confidence, and strong Character Skills, each child will have a good chance at seamlessly integrating and seeing success in schooling, employment and family life. EQUAL teaches five Habits of Mind: Managing Impulsivity, Persistence, Listening with Empathy and Understanding, Thinking Flexibly and Taking Responsible Risks. These skills give the children grit, resilience, character, and compassion. This will help them in school, employment and family life. For the elderly, we aim to offer them back their sense of dignity focusing on the mental and social-emotional well-being incorporating horseplay, horsemanship and art therapy. Reducing caregiver burden by providing a platform for caregivers to re-establish meaningful relationships with their elderly is important to us.

Pop-Up Salon for Patients #GivingWeekSG

by Bright Vision Hospital

In support of Giving Week, Bright Vision Hospital is raising fund to start a Pop-Up Salon. We will need $6,000 to fund a year of hairdressing supplies and equipment. Nothing beats looking refreshed from a good haircut and well-trimmed fingernails! With BVH Pop-Up Salon, our patients can look forward to a good hairdo, just as they previously enjoyed before falling sick and especially so for our dementia patients. A new hairstyle and manicure will enhance the social well-being of our patients, which helps in their recovery towards better health. The BVH Pop-Up Salon will operate on a weekly basis and our volunteer hair dressers and manicurists on site will provide grooming services to patients in need. We seek your kind donation to help fund the Pop-Up Salon which will benefit more than 100 patients monthly. No contribution is too small when assisting the sick and needy patients.

Help someone this Christmas

by Assisi Hospice

At Assisi Hospice, we provide palliative care for patients and support caregivers like 72-year-old Mr Toh Ah Seng. Mr Toh's wife, Mdm Cheok Ai, was diagnosed with stage four cervical cancer in 2017. Due to her intellectual difficulties, Mr Toh was the lone caregiver of their only son with autism. Mdm Cheok soon needed care beyond what Mr Toh could possibly provide and was admitted into Assisi Hospice in February 2018. This care arrangement was vital to help Mr Toh cope with his family's care needs and to have the space to simply grieve. Our social worker provided a safe outlet for him to express his grief through narrating the story of his life. Being able to converse with our social worker in Hokkien about his life, and to express his thoughts and feelings, was poignant and therapeutic. Assisi Hospice also supported him as he planned his onward journey with his son. Our annual Christmas Light-Up brings the joy of Christmas to Assisi Hospice for our patients and their families. For them, this Christmas will be one to cherish because it may be their last Christmas together. Help us make this Christmas a magical one for them by doing your part to light-up our 11-metre-tall giant Christmas tree! Every $10 donation will light a bulb on our tree, representing your well wishes and blessings. Your donation will enable us to continue providing patients and families like Mr Toh Ah Seng's with the medical care and psychosocial support they need.
