My Story

Care Corner Singapore celebrates its 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 August to 10 September 2021. Let’s come together to forge new beginnings, give hope and bring care to our beneficiaries in a tangible manner. 

iCare to support mental health is made up of a group of ladies who are concerned over the spike in mental health issues in Singapore and wants to do our part to provide individuals or caregivers with access to mental health support and counselling. We hope to raise funds by doing cross stitch.

Cross stitch can be a form of meditation where repetitive, silent action brings some kind of inner calm. By following patterns, counting stitches, keeping our mind engaged, our brain and body are in sync. Cross stitching distracts us from the day-to-day worries of life and the constant whirring in our minds, helping us stay calm, refocus and refresh.

Help us support this cause by clicking ‘Donate Now’. Donations received from 2 August 2021 to 10 September 2021 will be eligible for fund matching by Tote Board, subject to approval. Every dollar counts and your donation can have an impact for someone in need of help. A token of appreciation (a framed cross stitch heart pattern similar to the page image) will be given to the 1st 40 doners who donate $100 and above, if you email us your wish to have it via [email protected]. The token of appreciation will be completed and delivered to you by end September 2021.

As of 12 Aug - Thanks to all the generous donations which helped the team hit our original target of $4000 so quickly. Really grateful and thankful to each and everyone who donated. However, our overall target for mental health cause of $20,000 (SimplyGiving: Online Fundraising & Crowdfunding Across Asia) has not been met and we are raising the iCare to support mental health team's target to $5000 to move the needle closer to the overall target for this cause. We hope that the donations will keep coming in to help us meet the overall target for this cause. The more the donations, the more people we can support. Thank you so much!

About the Cause 

Goal: Provide individuals or caregivers with mental health support and counselling  Amidst COVID-19, we saw a rise in mental health needs. Individuals coping with the economic fallout, stress from adapting to the uncertainty of work arrangements, caregiving with tight safety measures and home-schooling students. Being cooped up indoors also raised family tensions and strained relationships. Counselling not only enables us to learn more about ourselves but acquire new skills to improve communication, problem-solving and relief from mental health challenges. By defraying the subsidized counselling fee, we intend to support caregivers from disadvantaged backgrounds or individuals who have lost financial stability.
