59-year-old Mdm Teo Yoke Lan is a widow on prosthetics who stays alone in a one-room rental flat.
24-year-old Wilson Tan has mild intellectual disabilities and needs to learn to lead an independent life.
12-year-old Johnny Tay and his 9-year-old sister Tay Qin Yi, from a single-parent and low-income family, were extremely shy and quiet.
These are just some of the people we have been able to help over the years. Today, Mdm Teo receives basic medical and nursing services at home; Wilson is able to develop his unique talent in sports and arts; Johnny and his sister are much more confident. All these are possible only because of your involvement. We want to help more, but we can't do it without you.
