Campaign Story

Ray of Hope has previously helped Mdm Letch as she was struggling to support her daughter and herself after a severe pay cut. After our second fundraiser, they were doing well as they both had stable jobs.  Mdm Letch was earning $2,700 as a Healthcare Assistant and her daughter was earning $800 as a waitress. However, at the end of 2019, Mdm Letch was asked to leave her job as she was harassed on site by Moneylenders.

In January, Mdm Letch began working as a cleaner bringing home only $1,200 a month. She works 7 days a week in order to earn and pay off her debts. She only has about 2 months of repayment left.

Mdm Letch’s daughter, with whom she was recently reunited, also lost her job. The circuit breaker measures due to the Covid-19 outbreak resulted in her losing her waitressing job. She is trained in Art and has applied to MOE to become an Art Teacher. They are awaiting a response to her application.

Ray of Hope would like to raise $1,350 for Mdm Letch and her daughter. This will help them with their groceries and living expenses for the next 3 months ($450 x 3 months) as Mdm Letch works toward paying off her debts. We hope that her daughter is also able to start with MOE by then, and if not, get a new job to support themselves.
