I donated to Home Nursing Foundation earlier this year after receiving a mailer along with my bill from my telco. My experience with donating to charities in Singapore has been quite pleasant. I get my tax deductable benefits and sometimes I get a newsletter or two from the organisation.

Home Nursing Foundation is the first charity that sent me a thank you letter, a note on my tax deductable status and a corporate newsletter. My first reaction was "Wow!". I really feel valued as a donor. Nevermind I only donated $200, it made me felt like I REALLY made a difference.

Fast forward to December, I stumbled upon the Mediacorp show on Channel 8 (The Joy Truck: http://goo.gl/1DjJ7i) showcasing the wonderful work that their nurses do. It gives me more reasons to support them and start this campaign to get more people to donate towards their cause.

During this festive (and year-end bonus) season, do a small part to help the needy. Support my campaign for the Home Nursing Foundation.

P.S. To start the ball rolling, I would be contributing $300. :)
