The Mental Health Hope Circle (MHHC) was created to support individuals when care feels out of reach. It began with a seed donation from The Bareau Family who wanted to ensure timely mental health support would remain accessible for those who need it.

Mental health struggles often stay hidden. Many people continue showing up to work, caring for their families, and carrying on with life while silently carrying a heavy load inside.

When support feels out of reach, the weight can become overwhelming. Without timely care, even simple tasks can feel impossible, and relationships, jobs, and personal wellbeing can start to slip away.

Whether it is covering therapy sessions, medication, or basic living needs during recovery, this Hope Circle helps ensure that people do not have to choose between their mental wellbeing and daily survival.

Together, we can ensure care remains accessible when it matters most.

What is a Hope Circle?

A Hope Circle is a pooled, perpetual giving fund for a specific need. When an individual campaign falls short of its crowdfunding goal, or when emergencies arise, the Circle is used to bridge the gap.

S$10,000 will go directly to individuals in need of support, with a 10% uplift added to ensure our case team can properly verify and follow up on any top-ups from the Circle. This balance means we can act quickly while keeping every donation accountable and transparent.

Who We Serve

Ray of Hope serves anyone who works, studies or lives in Singapore regardless of nationality and citizenship status:

🟠 Primary Group: Singaporeans from low-income families facing sudden hardship such as illness, injury and sudden unemployment, or caregiving responsibilities.

🟠 Extended Support: Vulnerable groups living within our community who face unique barriers to traditional aid, such as migrant brothers, stateless individuals, and foreign spouses/children in crisis.

Our 3 Pillars

🟠 Crowdfunding:
Campaigns that provide financial assistance to families and individuals in crisis, as well as community-based campaigns that align with Community Impact’s focus on emerging and unmet needs.

🟠 Casework:
Every campaign whether for an individual or a community initiative is verified by our case or partnerships team, respectively. Ensuring accountability and dignity at every stage.

🟠 Community Building:
Working alongside corporates, NGOs, ground-up groups and government agencies to mobilise resources, co-design initiatives, and extend help to groups excluded from conventional support. These partnerships allow us to amplify impact and address gaps more holistically.

Amplifying Impact

Funds raised through this campaign will be matched by Tote Board’s Enhanced Fundraising Scheme (EFR) through this campaign, which will amplify the impact of your contribution. The matched funds will enable Ray of Hope to continue verifying and supporting cases, ensuring that every campaign on our platform is genuine. This is what makes it possible for donations to reach those who need it most.

Ray of Hope does not replace existing aid. Instead, we step in to bridge urgent gaps where conventional systems may fall short. We work closely with social service agencies and government partners so our efforts complement, rather than duplicate, existing schemes.

Your gift, no matter the size, has the power to transform someone’s future.

Be the change. Give Hope Today.
