Mrs Lui became increasingly disheartened as she searched for a nursing home to care for her husband but to no avail. Caregiving was overwhelming and through her darkest days, her family and friends prayed along with her. Mrs Lui's prayer was answered and hope came when she was then introduced to MWS Bethany Nursing Home - Choa Chu Kang (BNH). Touched by MWS BNH's care philosophy and the sincere staff during her visit, she decided to apply for John's admission in June 2022. However, the joy from the new-found relief was soon overshadowed by anxiety about the hefty cost of long-term care. She turned to God again in prayer. This time, light came through the support of MWS case manager, Eva Yeo, who assisted in obtaining financial assistance that alleviated Mrs Lui's concerns about costs.

These days, while Mr Lui still wrestles with feelings of guilt, she has accepted that MWS BNH is the best care option for John where the staff are able to attend to his various needs 24/7. "My heart feels like I am abandoning him in the Nursing Home. I really miss him and want to care for him, but I realise I just can't. I am really grateful for the care he is receiving here."

This Christmas, let your giving empower over 9,000 beneficiaries and their families under the care of 22 MWS centres and programmes. Every dollar will make a positive impact in the lives of our chronically ill, frail and destitute, isolated seniors, at-risk youths, disadvantaged children, and families in distress.
