Ray of Hope is raising $2,150 ($430 x 5 months) to help Devi with the expenses of her children’s milk and diapers.

Devi has two children aged 1 and 2. She was staying in a one-room rental flat with her two young children and her fiancé before his incarceration. He returned to the family at the end of January 2022, and was in the midst of seeking employment.

On 2 February 2022, a dispute occurred between Devi and her neighbours. Unfortunately, this resulted in Devi’s fiancé being assaulted by a group of 6 to 7 men armed with weapons. While he was running down the stairs, he fell and dislocated his left knee, needing surgery. The caseworkers have sighted a police report made by Devi on the incident.

Devi’s finance has since undergone his surgery on 28 March. In the meantime, he is on bed rest and needs a full-time caregiver due to his restricted mobility.

“I thought my life would be better after my fiancé was out. Nobody expected this to happen.” Devi shared with the caseworkers.

Worried about the safety of her two young children, Devi had appealed for another HDB rental flat and is in the midst of moving to their new flat.

*Devi is currently receiving social assistance. Her assistance ends in April 2022.
