Migrant workers writhing at the end of their tether are not the only disadvantaged group in Singapore. The local poor, spanning ethnicities, languages and religions, can also end up living in the shadows. To put it bluntly, Singapore has homeless citizens and permanent residents. But, thankfully, they can find refuge at Families-in-Transition (FiT) shelters. For three months, after which their stay is subject to monthly renewals, one of two rooms in a flat can be rented at a nominal fee. The other room is rented to another family - of varying size - in similar circumstances. They share a common toilet and kitchen.
What could land Singaporeans in such dire straits? Business and gambling woes, physical and mental health issues, criminal pasts and even abysmal financial management are key reasons. Imagine having a drug record and no permanent address - how would your chances of landing a steady job look then? Your prospects are dim without a helping hand, you may not be fully cognizant of your medical needs and you have been cut off from your extended family either through shame or blame. Little wonder then that the stress of the situation can lead to explosive arguments with co-tenants and friction within the family.
This is where HealthServe comes in, through a connection with Lakeside Family Centre, operator of an FiT shelter in Taman Jurong since 2010. While our door-to-door medical checkup service has been halted, there is a small team looking into creating a safe space for children and teens to rest and play in the neighbourhood. Growing up in an unstable, stressful environment as they move from shelter to shelter, these youths could benefit from the regular schedule of a club.
Join us in journeying alongside the FiT families and help us nudge the arc of their lives and angle of perspective towards sustainable hope and long-term stability.
