“2020 is the year of hope and change. This would be a better year for me and my 3 children”- Mdm Masturah

Mdm Masturah, 39 years old, is a resilient, hardworking and loving single mother to 3 young children who are 6, 7 and 8 years old respectively. Caring for 3 children on her own after fleeing her abusive husband has been extremely difficult but she is glad she escaped in order to provide a better and safer environment for her children.

Her husband was abusive throughout their marriage including having various extra marital affairs and on the 20^th of August 2018, she fled her marital house after her husband repeatedly abused her in front of their 3 children. She and her children stayed with her low-income mother at her 1 room rental flat until March 2019 when Mdm Masturah managed to secure PPO and Domestic Exclusion Order against her husband. With her husband out of their marital flat, Mdm Masturah returned back with her children and wanted to rebuild her life again. She was actively searching for employment until the 3^rd of April 2019 when she encountered an accident and suffered a severe fracture on her right foot, breaking almost all of her bones. She was on a cast and took more than 6 months to heal.

Give Hope – Help Needed

Mdm Masturah is almost fully healed and has started actively searching for employment. She understands the importance of being financially independent and giving the best to her children. Ray of Hope would like to raise S$600 (S$200 x 3 months) to defray her living expenses for 3 months while she continues to actively search for employment.

Give Hope to Mdm Masturah as she requires assistance during this period while she is actively sending out resumes and seeking to improve her life and her children’s lives!
