Before I start this post, I would like to shout-out to MP Baey Yam Keng and thank you for your kindness towards the low-income families at Tampines Street 44.
During our walkabouts, we spoke to one of the Malay family Mr Buang, who suffered stage 3 lung cancer and currently quit his job as security officer, in order to continue with his medical treatment.
We understand that MP Baey had assisted him to lower his flat rental from $250+ to $50+ a month, and applied a grant of $1300 from CDC to support his family of 8 children and a pregnant wife.
After a good chat with this Malay family, and knowing that they are very shortage of ration, we asked the two children (boy studying in Polytechnic and girl studying in Secondary) to follow us to nearest FairPrice to stock up their rations.
To our surprise, the two children didn't dare to pick up any of the items from FairPrice even through we told them to select what type of food is good for their family. They told me that their family never had a chance to do shopping in such a way as their financial and expenses are very tight.
We spend $130.25 on the rations and we hope to assist them as much as we can, so that they can get through this difficult period. We are looking into free tuition for her daughter and also milk powder for the two babies at home.
If any of you wish to bless this family with your rations or assist them to pay off their outstanding SP Services of $100+, do whatsapp our Project Coordinator Jacky Goh 吳錦南 at +65 9151 9924 accordingly. Thank you.
Kindness is everywhere and a little thought can mean so much! Remember to share and walk with us in Project Awareness.
