Dear Friends,

As melodies from the Meraki String Quartet float through the garden and the evening light begins to fade, I invite you to let your generosity flow toward Ray of Hope.

I’m grateful to serve on its board. Since opening its doors in 2012, this small crowdfunding charity has quietly channelled more than S$26 million to over 1,500 families navigating hardship in Singapore.

Every cent a public donor gives goes directly to clients. To keep that promise, Ray of Hope raises separate funds for the quiet, yet essential work behind the scenes: verifying each story, building communities, and keeping the lights on for those who come to them to help.

Your support offered tonight will sustain that backbone. They will let Ray of Hope remain the trusted bridge between people who long to give and families who need a steady hand, carrying out the work with dignity, care, and rigour.

With Hope,
Kenneth Kan

About Ray of Hope

Ray of Hope is a crowdfunding charity committed to serving emerging and unmet needs in Singapore. We provide a safe and trusted platform where individuals in need can seek financial support and assistance, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Many struggle in silence because they don’t qualify for aid via existing support systems. A non-citizen student unable to afford school fees. An injured migrant worker with no access to support. A hardworking father unable to fund his child’s urgent medical procedure. 

These are the people Ray of Hope stands for.

By identifying and verifying genuine cases of individuals who have fallen through the cracks, we amplify their stories and connect them with donors, corporate partners and volunteers.

When we uplift those in need today, we empower them to give back tomorrow—building a community where kindness is paid forward, and resilience grows stronger with every act of giving.

Because hope is made possible, together.
