Ray of Hope is raising $6,000 ($1,000 x 6 months) to support Chuanjiang and his family for the next 6 months. The funds will help his family with their living expenses as he continues with treatment.

Chuanjiang is from Jiangsu province in China and is married with three children, aged 18, 20 and 25. The 48 year-old came to Singapore in 2021, seeking greener pastures. Chuangjiang was a general worker in the construction industry, earning approximately $1,500 a month, of which $1,000 was remitted to his family.

On 15th June 2022, Chuanjiang was patching a part of the wall near the ceiling, balanced on a ladder leaning against the wall. The ladder suddenly slid and Chuanjiang fell 2 meters, badly injuring his feet and ankles.

Chuanjiang was eventually sent to the hospital and operated on the next day, with numerous screws and metal inserts put in place. He was given around three months of medical leave, but is still unfit for work, due to pain in his feet and ankles.

With his wife and three children to support back home, Chuanjiang worries about finances. His eldest son is seeking employment, while his younger children are attending school.

Chuangjiang currently attends weekly TCM treatment and physiotherapy sessions offered by an NGO. He hopes to return to work eventually.
