Your donations will go to support households like Mdm Chua’s.
Mdm Chua is 95 years old and the caregiver for her 66 years old intellectually challenged son. Both of them stay in a one room rental flat. Mdm Chua has multiple chronic health issues due to her frailty and she is permanently wheelchair bound. Her son is fully dependent on her for his activities of daily living. Mdm Chua had stopped working for the past 30 years and she has limited savings. She is financially constrained as she also needs to pay for her rental fee, utilities bill. electricity bill and daily necessities. She is also tapping on her limited savings to purchase her chronic medications and milk supplements.The groceries fund will go a long way to help enhance her and her son’s quality of life to secure better and more nutritious food to support her well-being in the community.
