1st disbursement

Last week, the case workers met Ah Ma for her cheque disbursement. Ah Ma was grinning when she spoke about receiving the rations from our donors last week. The rations were of a surprise to her as it had the fresh fish and chicken which she loves but rarely had due to the family’s limited finances. She told us how disheartened she feels to be forgotten within the community due to her citizenship issues, despite having stayed here all her life. Due to her stateless stateless, she is not eligible for any government assistance and is only relying on the $250 from Ray of Hope each month to make ends meet. Yet at 81, Ah Ma remains hopeful that there there is light at the end of the tunnel. Ah Ma’s cheerful and chatty personality strikes a chord with us, and we hope to continue supporting Ah Ma with her living expenses.  ?
