Hi everyone, sunrise and sunset experiences often hold special and unique meaning to each one of us. From now till 10 September 2021, we are collecting 40 sunny perspectives through our daily activities to fundraise for families in need! Through each perspectives, we hope to inspire joy and hope for families in need.This is our very first fundraising effort as part of Care Corner 40th Anniversary, so your support and donations would mean a lot to us :) About the cause Care Corner is celebrating our 40th Anniversary, and to commemorate this milestone Care Corner has launched '40 Days of Care’ – a campaign to raise awareness and funds for five meaningful causes from 2 August to 10 September.  As part of the campaign, we will be fund-raising to support “Transnational low-income families in need of emergency medical funds”    1 in 4 citizen marriages in Singapore are transnational. Non-citizen spouses who are unable to get permanent residency do not qualify for medical subsidies. As a result, when they are suddenly hit with a health emergency or chronic illness, medical bills mount up and become a crippling burden for families who are already struggling financially.    One such case is Sarina (not her real name). She was diagnosed with a low-lying placenta that caused bleeding in the seventh month of her pregnancy. As a result, she had to be hospitalised for over a month, leading to medical bills amounting to several thousand dollars. Given her status as a foreigner (i.e. long-term visit pass holder), her access to financial support was limited. With her son's birth complications, on top of the outstanding medical bills, the family is struggling to cover their basic needs such as rental payments, diapers and milk powder. Join us in supporting families such as Sarina's. Together, we can bring much needed hope and light to families in need as they look forward to sunny days ahead!Some things to note: 1. Care Corner is an IPC so your donations would qualify for tax deductions. 2. Donations will be matched dollar for dollar by Toteboard

Our Story: As part of Care Corner Singapore's 40th anniversary this year, Family Support Services is raising funds for one out of five special causes that is close to our hearts to commemorate this milestone in a meaningful way. Join us in ‘40 Days of Lelong’ from 16 July to 10 Sep 2021. Let’s join our 4 live flea market sessions via Facebook to give hope and bring care to our beneficiaries in a tangible manner.  The details of the 4 live flea market sessions are as follows: Facebook Live Dates: 16, 20, 23, 27 August 2021 @https://www.facebook.com/carecornersg/ Time: 12pm to 2pm  Sales from the 4 live flea market sessions, as well as all donations raised from this campaign will go into the emergency medical funds for transnational families in need.  About The Cause: Goal: Support transnational low-income families in need of emergency medical funds As of 2016, 1 in 3 marriages in Singapore consist of transnational marriages. Some of these families are facing financial difficulties and securing a long-term stay in Singapore. Many spouses do not qualify for medical subsidies due to their foreigner status and thus struggle to cope with daily responsibilities, as well as struggling to pay medical bills in times of medical emergencies or if they have chronic illnesses. Supporting transnational families ensures families have their basic needs met and prevents a lifetime of risks and adversities from poor nutrition and lack of medical care from the start.

I work in Care Corner Singapore and we are celebrating our 40th anniversary this year. To commemorate this milestone in a meaningful way, we are raising funds for five special causes close to our hearts. Join us in ‘40 Days of Care’ from 2 Aug to 10 Sep 2021. Let’s come together to forge new beginnings, give hope and bring care to our beneficiaries in a tangible manner.About the Cause I am fundraising for:Goal: Support transnational low-income families in need of emergency medical fundsAs of 2016, 1 in 3 marriages in Singapore consists of transnational marriages. Some of these unions are plagued by domestic issues including abuse, financial constraints, and challenges in securing a long-term stay in Singapore. Many spouses do not qualify for medical subsidies due to their foreigner status. Coping with day-to-day responsibilities, many of them struggle to pay medical bills when there are medical emergencies or if they have chronic illnesses. Supporting transnational families ensures children have their basic needs met and prevents a lifetime of risks and adversities from poor nutrition and lack of medical care from the start. The $40,000 I will be raising will go into emergency medical funds for these transnational families and families-in-need. I will be updating my progress during the 40 days period via my social media platforms.You can follow my progress by following me at:https://www.instagram.com/dadgary/https://www.facebook.com/limgaryhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/garylimys/
