Mr Silvaraj is currently serving out his sentence at a halfway house. Prior to his incarceration he used to work as a delivery and container loading assistant on a part-time basis.

He currently has a good relationship with his brother who is currently living in the rental flat that they share. His brother is working and does come to visit him. Mr Silvaraj is embarrassed to ask his brother for any financial assistance as he is already paying for everything to sustain their flat.

Mr Silvaraj is diabetic and suffers from hypertension. He is on medication for this. He also injured his back when working loading containers previously and has been advised to no longer continue with strenuous work as he is already 63.

Once the circuit breaker measures allow for work to continue, Mr Silvaraj will start work as an office cleaner on a part-time basis.

Ray of Hope would like to raise $900 to assist Mr Silvaraj for 3 months. This will help him with his living expenses and transport, as well as his medical expenses.
