When her husband passed away, Mdm Aqilah (not her real name) worked as a cleaner to support her two children. She had to move out of her home and rent a room while paying for her daughter’s expensive school fees. Her MP helped her to obtain a rental flat and referred her to New Life Community Services.
New Life not only provided financial assistance for her daughter’s school fees, but gave academic support to both her children so that they might secure a better future through education. Her daughter is on our online volunteer tuition support programme, while her youngest child attends Steady Readers to improve his English. Because of our support, Mdm Aqilah was very motivated to work hard and increase her monthly salary.
There are many others like Mdm Aqilah out there who need someone to go the extra mile for them. Hence, New Life Charity Cycle aims to raise funds to serve disadvantaged children, youths, families and seniors in the community. In 2021, we mentored 836 children and 237 youths, befriended 41 seniors, and financially assisted 69 families, thanks to the generous support of donors, sponsors and fundraisers like yourselves. Through the work that we do, we want to give people like Mdm Aqilah and her family not just provision for today’s needs, but hope for a better future.
New Life Charity Cycle will run from 28 May to 6 August 2022 and aims to raise $200,000 to make an impact and transform the lives of those whom New Life serves in the community. New Life’s work includes mentoring children and youths through literacy and character intervention programmes, sustained mentorship with youths, rendering financial assistance to disadvantaged families, and providing active aging programmes for seniors.
All funds raised will also go towards supporting New Life’s expansion into the areas of intergenerational programmes and inclusive student and childcare for neurodiverse children.
