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.
