SUMMARY:Embracing Hope\, Regaining Independence!
DESCRIPTION:Dear Donor\, \n\n\n\nMy name is Tan Yan Lie Francesca\, a 73-year-old beneficiary of HWA. I was once a businesswoman\, fully independent and thriving in my career. However\, life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with Myelo-polyradiculitis\, a spinal infection that affected the lower part of my body. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPhotos taken in HWA Jurong Rehab Centre\n\n\n\n\n  \nBeing initially able-bodied\, I became wheelchair-bound and faced the harsh reality of losing my ability to perform basic tasks such as toileting\, showering\, transferring\, and dressing myself. During this difficult time\, I felt utterly lost and even had suicidal thoughts. But with strong determination and the support of those around me\, I found the strength to move forward. HWA’s rehabilitation services have been a lifeline in this journey. 20 years ago\, I couldn’t sit stably\, but consistent therapy from HWA has helped me regain stability and prevent further muscle deterioration. This supports my goal of being as independent as possible\, reducing the burden on my caregiver. My challenges are not mine alone. There are many others like me who rely on HWA’s services to regain hope and independence. To continue their programs & services in a sustainable manner\, HWA is organizing its annual Wheel\, Walk\, or Jog & Family Carnival on 17 May 2025 at the Singapore Sports Hub – OCBC Square to raise funds. We invite you to join us by contributing by; \n\n\n\nDownloading our Donation Form \ni. Sponsoring a WWJ Wheelchair Ride Bannerette orii. Making a Direct Donation \n\n(*Please mail the completed form to 16 Whampoa Drive Singapore 327725 by 30 June 2025) \n\n\n\nthrough our Giving.sg \n\n\n\nYour generosity will enable HWA to support many individuals who strive to be independent with dignity and hope. Every contribution counts. Thank you for your support all these years. May you and your loved ones be blessed with love\, peace\, and joy with good health. \n\n\n\nWith sincere gratitude\, \n\n\n\nTan Yan Lie Francesca (On behalf of all HWA Beneficiaries\, Caregivers and HWA Staff) \nYou may also donate through our website by clicking the donate button below. \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Your Continuous Support Brings Strength and Hope! - HWA Flag Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:My name is Hasidah\, and I am 66 years old — a mother of five. Many of you may remember my story from last year’s appeal. I shared how I’ve been caring for my daughter\, Zurah\, who became bedridden after a stroke in 2014\, and my eldest son who has an intellectual disability.\n\nA year has passed\, and I wanted to share how your support has continued to make a difference for us. Thanks to HWA’s Personal Home Care Services\,\nZurah receives regular showering care three times a week\, which has helped to maintain her condition and overall well-being. These visits by HWA’s healthcare attendant ensure that Zurah’s hygiene and comfort are well taken care of. For me\, this support has been invaluable as it is more than physical relief; this is a peace of mind and a moment to breathe\, knowing that she is in good hands.                                                                                                               \nWe are just one of many families who rely on HWA’s vital services. Behind each closed door is a story like ours — of hardship\, resilience\, and hope made possible by supporters like you.\n\nThis year\, HWA’s Flag Day will be held island-wide on 30 August 2025 to raise funds for its programmes and services. We humbly invite you to continue your support by donating through or Giving.sg campaign at https://www.giving.sg/donate/campaign/hwa-flag-day-2025\n \nOn behalf of all HWA’s beneficiaries and staff\, we extend our heartfelt thanks to you for walking this journey with us. Your continuous support brings hope\, dignity\, and strength to families like mine. We wish you and your loved ones good health along with peace and joy.

SUMMARY:Hong Bao Festive Appeal 2025-2026
DESCRIPTION:Dear Donor\,\n\nI am Chia Boon Hong\, 73 years old. I once had a fulfilling career as a PUB engineer\, working alongside my wife — a dedicated former nurse — to raise our three children. Life was stable and purposeful until everything changed at age 45\n\n    \n\nIn 1997\, I was suddenly struck by transverse myelitis\, leaving me unable to walk and dependent on my wife for many daily activities. Despite my condition\, I did my best to care for my older brother\, who has an intellectual disability\, by arranging for a helper to ensure he was properly looked after.\n\n \nLife has been challenging\, but for the past 15 years\, HWA’s Rehabilitation Services have been a vital source of support. The sessions help relieve tension and stiffness in my body\, keep my muscles toned\, enable me to remain physically functional and mentally alert. \n\nI am just one of many individuals who rely on HWA’s vital services. Whether it’s rehabilitation or the prescription of mobility devices\, these services have greatly improved my overall well-being and helped me regain my dignity  — thanks to the respectful care provided by the staff. None of this would be possible without the generosity of donors like you.\n\nAs the year comes to a close\, I sincerely hope you will support individuals like myself and many others facing even greater challenges\, so that HWA can continue its impactful work. To make a difference\, please visit our donation campaign at https://www.giving.sg/donate/campaign/hong-bao-festive-appeal-20252026 Wishing you and your family continued love\, peace\, joy\, and good health. \n\n\nWith heartfelt gratitude\,\n \nChia Boon Hong\nOn behalf of all HWA Beneficiaries\, Caregivers & Staff

SUMMARY:HWA WHEEL\, WALK OR JOG 2026 YOUR SUPPORT CAN CHANGE LIVES - JOINS US TODAY
DESCRIPTION:Dear Donor\,\n\n\n\nMy name is Mohamad Rizal. I’m 49 years old. In 2008\, a motorbike accident left me with a spinal cord injury at the C5 level. Overnight\, my life changed-from being independent to needing help with basic daily tasks such as bathing\, dressing\, toileting\, transferring\, and moving around.\n \n\nRehabilitation Session at HWA Whampoa with our Therapist\n \nI live with my 76-year-old mother. Since my father passed away in 2019\, she has been my pillar of strength\, caring for me tirelessly even as she grows older each day. I worry about what the future holds — what will happen when her health declines\, and how I will manage without her. Still\, I strive every day to maintain as much independence and dignity as I can\, for both of us.\n \nHWA has been a lifeline for us. Through their rehabilitation and transport services—provided free because of our circumstances—I can prevent further physical deterioration and remain as functional as possible. Without this support\, my quality of life would decline rapidly.\n \n\nTo keep these vital programmes running\, HWA is organising the 42nd Wheel\, Walk or Jog to raise funds and create awareness of our mission to serve the community. \n\nEvery dollar counts. Every act of kindness brings hope. Your contribution today can make a real difference—not just for me\, but for many others like me who depend on HWA’s care.\n\nThank you for being part of our community. Your generosity means the world to us. Wishing you good health and peace always.\nYour generous contributions will directly support the HWA Wheel\, Walk or Jog 2026\, thereby enabling the continued funding of HWA’s programmes and services.\n \n\nSupport can be given by completing the enclosed  donation form* to sponsor a WWJ Wheelchair Bannerette or make a direct donation.\n(*Please mail the completed donation form to 16 Whampoa Drive Singapore 327725 by 31 Aug 2026)\n\n\n\nYou may also donate through our website by clicking the donate button below.
