Secure Education for Amir and his siblings

Mdm Risa and her husband have worked tirelessly to provide their children with quality education, but the hefty educational costs have become insurmountable. Their eldest son, Amir, has been suspended from school,  jeopardizing his dream of completing his “O” levels and supporting his younger siblings through school. The arrears also put his younger siblings, Noor and Siva, at risk of expulsion.

Your donation can fund educational equality.

Ray of Hope is launching a fundraising campaign to raise $14,000 to cover their educational debt. This support will allow Amir to complete his “O” levels and ensure that his younger siblings can continue their education without the added stress of possible expulsion in the coming year.

Mdm Risa, a dedicated mother of four, has made Singapore her home for over a decade. While three of her children are Singapore Permanent Residents like her, her youngest, four-year-old Lena, holds a Long-term Visit Pass. Over the years, Mdm Risa and her husband have taken on multiple work arrangements, hoping to create a better future for their children through education. Despite their unwavering efforts, the family’s income has fallen short of covering the monthly educational bill of $2,109.17 for their three older children.

Amir, the oldest son, had high hopes of completing his “O” levels this year and contributing to his family’s well-being. However, since January 2024, he has been suspended and unable to attend school, which is devastating to his aspirations. To support his family, Amir is now trying to secure part-time work while also devoting his time to self-study, all while keeping up with the ongoing curriculum he is missing.

Meanwhile, his younger siblings, Noor (16) and Siva (9), are still in school. Still, the burden of educational arrears puts them at risk for expulsion, adding immense stress to the family’s already challenging circumstances.

The family, supported by social services, faces rising stress levels and ballooning household expenses due to inflationary costs. Their residency status has made them ineligible for most financial assistance schemes, further complicating their situation.

Your contribution to this campaign will be a beacon of hope for the family, offering them the chance to pursue their educational dreams and build a brighter future. 

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of these resilient individuals and ensure that education continues to be a source of hope and opportunity for their family. Your support is a lifeline for these youths and a testament to the power of collective compassion and generosity.
