6 | M | GA | Fulfilled | 23/10/25 | Funds | GA is 51 years old, and was a domestic worker in Singapore for 15 years. In November 2024, she was diagnosed with end-stage renal failure. Her hospital bill exceeded her insurance coverage, and her employer could no longer afford to fund her treatment. In December, she went back to the Philippines to be able to continue dialysis and other treatment, and be with her family. GA and her husband worked to support their three children, all of whom are in school and college, as well as their grandchildren, and GA’s sibling, who is paralysed. At the time we got in contact with her, she had no savings to support herself. We have kept in contact and supported her as she navigates her health, treatments, and family after her return to the Philippines. While her dialysis continues, new health conditions have come up that require diagnosis and treatment. To ease GA’s burden, we hope to raise for her the following (in pesos): Medical costs – 7,814.64 ENT consultation – 19,400 3 months school fees for daughter A – 48,000 3 months school fees for daughter B – 47,200 We are aiming to raise $2772 SGD for GA, to assist with her medical costs and her daughters’ educational expenses for the next 3 months. | 28/10/25 | Tally: $2794.90/$2772 23/10/25 - Chelsea (SGD 5.00) - Alexis (SGD 20.00) - Bing Quan (SGD 100.00) - Sarah Cheong (SGD 100.00) - Naam (SGD 10.00) - Yong Feng (SGD 30.00) - Jjt (SGD 40.00) - KY (SGD 200.00) - LH (SGD 20.00) - Nerissa (SGD 10.00) - Mohamed Ibrahim (SGD 20.00) - Olivia (SGD 20.00) - Bani Hakim (SGD 10.00) - Charmaine Miranda (SGD 25.00) - Maxine (SGD 50.00) - Shawn Ang (SGD 35.00) - Mumtaz Mohd Yusoff (SGD 50.00) - Nurul Huda (SGD 2.90) 24-25/10/25 - Tabitha Rae (SGD 10.00) - Fikri (SGD 17.00) - Kheng Leng (SGD 20.00) - Dian N (SGD 20.00) - Sara Lau (SGD 20.00) - Jen OConnor (SGD 25.00) - Yu Xuan (SGD 5.00) - Lanna (SGD 80.00) - YT (SGD 15.00) - Tay Yu E (SGD 50.00) - Ameera Begum Bte Mohd Aslam (SGD 50.00) - Sundaram Mohan Shakthi (SGD 50.00) - Damien Wee Xi Jun (SGD 15.00) - Lee Yun Ning (SGD 100.00) - Ada Adhiyatma (SGD 200.00) 26/10/25 - phs (SGD 50.00) - Joyce Hu (SGD 5.00) - Akanksha (SGD 100.00) - Joshua Choo (SGD 50.00) - Musfirah (SGD 20.00) - Rachel Tan (SGD 50.00) - JJ (SGD 10.00) - Celchoo (SGD 10.00) - Carissa Lim (SGD 100.00) - liolia (SGD 50.00) - Tanisha Naqvi (SGD 40.00) - Self Philippa Rae (SGD 15.00) - Reisha Lee Min (SGD 90.00) 27/10/25 - Hui Suan Chung (SGD 20.00) - Claraaaa (SGD 15.00) - Arista Loh (SGD 15.00) - Lydia Gan (SGD 40.00) - Danielle Huang (SGD 10.00) - ICT GA MMA (SGD 50.00) - Maestro (SGD 50.00) - Yong Rui Yan (SGD 100.00) - Muhammad Rasul S/O Abdul Rahi (SGD 20.00) - Althea Low Lyn (SGD 100.00) 28/10/25 - Katie (SGD 10.00) - Vanessa (SGD 300.00) - Lanna (SGD 50.00) | Coordinated by Lydia (tele: @lydiastargirl) | ||||||||||||||||||
7 | M23 | ND | Fulfilled | 24/9/25 | Funds | ND is a 42-year-old construction worker who had been living and working in Singapore for the last 18 years. He is the sole breadwinner for his family of six, including two sons and two daughters. ND’s health issues began in March 2024 in Singapore – tooth extractions that would lead to persistent swelling of his gums, swelling around his neck, and high fevers. Many of these treatments were paid for by ND out of his own pocket, as his employer refused to cover the medical fees, claiming they were personal issues rather than work-related ones. In Singapore, employers are required to purchase and maintain medical insurance (MI) for their workers. This insurance covers inpatient care and day surgery, including hospital bills for conditions that may not be work-related. Although doctors recommended further investigation, ND initially declined additional tests due to financial concerns, similar to many other migrant workers we support who are priced out of accessing healthcare in Singapore. At times, this delay in diagnosis and treatment exacerbates health conditions. Finally, in March 2025, ND was admitted to Tan Tock Seng Hospital (TTSH) for a biopsy, and received a formal diagnosis of advanced stage Hodgkin’s Lymphoma – a type of blood cancer. After his diagnosis, ND’s health deteriorated significantly, and he returned to Bangladesh in May 2025 in critical condition. He was urgently admitted to a hospital where he was able to undergo 6 out of 12 chemotherapy sessions with the support of the Criticare Fund for Migrant Workers. We have disbursed $2000 to him from the Standing Solidarity Fund (SSF) to tide him over for a session while we fundraise for the remaining. Now, we want to raise $2,500 by (DATE). The combined amount from this fundraiser & our SSF disbursal will cover 3 sessions of chemotherapy, as well as various related tests, medication, and hospital charges. Although ND’s condition has improved after starting treatment, he has been left without an income during this period, and is anxious to complete his chemotherapy so that he can return to work in Singapore as soon as possible. While he was working, ND earned a salary of just $800 per month even after working in SIngapore for 18 years, a majority of which he sent back home to support his wife and four children. This left little room to build savings to fall back on during times of crisis. Mutual aid organizing steps in to fill these urgent gaps, but the deeper issue is that leaving migrant workers destitute and asking them to fend for themselves when they need medical care has been normalized through state medical policies and employer neglect. Even during his recovery, and worries about when he can return to work to support his family. | 26/9/25 | (Tally: $3,100/$2,500) 24/9/25 - Teo Liak Theng (SGD 50.00) - Seah Shu Ying, Charmaine (SGD 100.00) - Dela Cruz Bernice Sibal (SGD 30.00) - Ngiam Ze Qin (SGD 50.00) - Simundo Kristina Gweneth Ponc (SGD 20.00) - Katherine Tan Si (SGD 20.00) - Lauryn Leow Yu Zhen (SGD 20.00) - Sarah Ting Sie Hie (SGD 80.00) 23/9/25 - Tok Kheng Leng (SGD 25.00) - Maestro (SGD 50.00) - Kamalika Banerjee (SGD 45.00) - Jacqueline Tay Wan Rong (SGD 50.00) - Wee Shu Ting (SGD 200.00) - Indriana Binte Irawan Fatulla (SGD 20.00) - Mumtaz D/O Mohd Yusoff (SGD 50.00) - Nadia Binte Mohamed Yusof (SGD 10.00) - Peck Hsiao Shan (SGD 50.00) - Bani Hakim Mohamed (SGD 15.00) - Shraddha Bhushan Patil (SGD 50.00) - Sarah Kerr M Salleh (SGD 50.00) - Leow Chern Shyuen (SGD 20.00) - Wong Kar Hin (SGD 10.00) - Chen Ai Shan, Marissa (SGD 30.00) - Cheng Yuen Hua Marilyn (SGD 50.00) - Muhammad Hydar Bin Saharudin (SGD 50.00) - Jayakumar Sandhya Pillai (SGD 50.00) - Toh Li-Cheng Megan (SGD 35.00) - Vaswanee Bharatee Lachmandas (SGD 10.00) - Lutfa Shazneen Hasan (SGD 25.00) - Jennifer Helen O’Connir (SGD 20.00) - Phua Jue Yu (SGD 200.00) - Hong Yu Wen, Lynn (SGD 20.00) - Rachel Ooi Siew Hui (SGD 30.00) - Kavya Gopal (SGD 30.00) - Goh Wenwei, Russell (SGD 100.00) - Lim Minli Faye (SGD 30.00) - Lim Yu Hann Eunice (SGD 25.00) - Natalia Tan Jing Wei (SGD 30.00) - Clara Chee Wenxin (SGD 20.00) - Fahim Murshed (SGD 20.00) - Jill Tan Jie’En (SGD 40.00) - Nerissa Goh Jia Yi (SGD 30.00) - Chan Pui San Olivia (SGD 35.00) - Liu Yihan (SGD 50.00) - Joyce Hu (SGD 10.00) - Sharifah Selma Jafar Alkaff (SGD 25.00) - Ashraf Ajeesh (SGD 25.00) - Miranda Tan Jieni (SGD 10.00) - Qaisara Binte Mohamad Noor (SGD 10.00) - Muhammad Rasul S/O Abdul Rahi (SGD 20.00) - Chua Wen Xun, Samuel (SGD 10.00) - Tan Li Min Berny (SGD 200.00) - Sharham S/O Sridhar (SGD 50.00) - Aidan Emory Huang (SGD 50.00) - Yip Ming Feng Eugenia (SGD 120.00) - Tim Min Jie (SGD 100.00) - Sharifah Najat Binte Syed Ahm (SGD 15.00) - Ng Phui Leng, Gladys (SGD 100.00) - Alexis Maddala Yu Lin (SGD 15.00) - Gobardja Ianna (SGD 80.00) - Desiree Ng Yu Qing (SGD 200.00) - Ng Lee Han, Joshua (SGD 50.00) - Natasha Tan Pei Xin (SGD 10.00) - Zubaidah Binte Dadlani (SGD 10.00) - Agnes Manhendran (SGD 25.00) - Yeo Tsing Lei, Valerie (SGD 20.00) | Coordinated by Ankita (tele: @ank1t0a) | ||||||||||||||||||
8 | M20 | MG | Fulfilled | 27/6/25 | Funds | We are deeply saddened to share that MG, a former domestic worker, recently passed away due to lung metastasis. MG was first diagnosed with stage 2B cervical cancer last July. Since then, she bravely underwent multiple rounds of treatment, and we had been supporting her through SSF disbursals and fundraisers. In her final weeks, her condition worsened—and she was hospitalised with pneumonia and a UTI. On 10 June, we received devastating news from S (MG’s husband) that she had passed away due to metastasis in her lungs, which came as a shock to all of us. MG leaves behind her husband, S, and their three children. S has been completely distraught, while doing his best to care for his family through this devastating loss. We have been in close contact with him, and extended bereavement support of $1,840 SGD to help cover funeral costs and 1 month of living expenses. S is now requesting support for 2 more months of living expenses ($1,350 SGD), to cover essentials like rent, water bills, electric bills, food and his children’s school allowance. This will provide the family some stability as they grieve and begin to rebuild their lives. Excess funds raised will go towards future living expenses. We are seeking to raise $1,350 SGD within the next 72 hours as bereavement support for MG’s family.

9 | M22 | K | Fulfilled | 30/05/2025 | Funds | K is a 42-year-old Tamil construction worker who spent 16 years working in Singapore. In March 2025, just 10 days into a new job in Singapore, K suffered a massive heart attack. He was admitted to Changi General Hospital, where doctors diagnosed a severe ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) – a life-threatening blockage in a major artery. An emergency angioplasty (PCI) in Singapore stabilised K’s condition, and doctors discharged him after a week of observation. But after returning to his dormitory, it was clear that K was still unwell and required medical attention. But instead of receiving that treatment, K was repatriated to Tamil Nadu on 14 April by his employer. Back home, K tried to hide his condition and resume farm work, but the strain triggered a second heart attack. He was admitted to a government hospital in critical condition, with worsening symptoms such as breathing difficulties, weight loss, and skin darkening. Doctors have advised urgent surgery. K is the sole provider for his wife, two children, and elderly parents — his mother is also undergoing cancer treatment. The family faces severe financial hardship, with no savings or assets. On top of this, K has a recruitment debt of 2 lakh INR (around $3,230 SGD) from his recent job in Singapore, which continues to accrue interest. He had returned home earlier in 2025 after leaving his previous job in Singapore, which had become too physically demanding. K’s sister T shared that the family is struggling to meet basic needs. MMA has already supported them with two weeks of living expenses from the Standing Solidarity Fund. K’s case shows just how vulnerable migrant workers are in times of crisis. Even after 16 years of labour in Singapore, K could not rely on long-term medical support, job security, or income protection. Instead of being able to rest and recover, his heart attack pushed him into a vicious trap of being unable to work, unable to heal, and unable to afford his treatment. He also carries a large employment debt that could have otherwise gone towards his treatment. Such debts make it difficult for migrant workers to leave unsuitable or risky jobs without facing heavy financial penalties. We are seeking to raise $2,050 by 6th June, as K’s life is at risk without urgent surgery. This will cover a portion of the surgery, and the remaining $3,500 will be covered by another organisation (Lighthouse) K’s situation is not unique – many migrant workers face harsh contracts and relentless construction deadlines in Singapore, leaving little room for illness or recovery. If health crises arise, they are left with no safety net, and no guarantee of continued employment. | 06/06/2025 | (Tally: $2,500/$2,050) 06/06/2025 - Amalina Binte Adnan (SGD 10.00) - Dini Qistina Ibni Chairulfahmy (SGD 50.00) 05/06/2025 - Fatimah Binte Juma'on (SGD 10.00) - Dylan Chan Sze-Yen (SGD 50.00) - Indriana Binte Irawan Fatullah (SGD 50.00) - Cuttilan Ravi Amran (SGD 250.00) 04/06/2025 - Wunderlin Laura Delia (SGD 25.00) - Alvin Arulselvan S/O Balakrishnan (SGD 41.00) 03/06/2025 - Aishwarya Nishikant Kunte (SGD 10.00) - Cortes Catrina Maria Emilia Samonte (SGD 50.00) - Nur Nadiah Binte Abdul Raman (SGD 15.00) - Meirlin Gunawan (SGD 25.00) 02/06/2025 - Clara Angelina Pratama (SGD 25.00) - Poon Yu Hung Justin (SGD 2.50) - Tan Heng Yeng (SGD 100.00) - Peck Hsiao Shan (SGD 50.00) - Chung Hui Suan (SGD 10.00) 01/06/2025 - Tan Yu Xuan (SGD 5.00) - Leow Chern (SGD 25.00) - Sutrina Jelita Rose (SGD 10.00) - Yeo Min (SGD 30.00) - Chung Hui Min (SGD 15.00) - Lionel Jonathan Louis (SGD 20.00) - Gobardja Ianna (SGD 200.00) - Harshini D/O Uthirapathy (SGD 20.00) - Lim Yi Torng (SGD 20.00) - Sri Nur Athirah Binte Zaini (SGD 5.00) - Raktim Ray (SGD 100.00) - Aditi Shivaramakrishnan (SGD 10.00) - Lee Huimin Denise (SGD 10.00) - Nur Aisyah Binte Khalid (SGD 20.00) - Chen Li Shan Maxine (SGD 20.00) - Siti Hajar Bte Amir (SGD 10.00) 31/05/2025 - Low Rui Qi Charmaine Ng Kheen Ee Wendy (SGD 50.00) - Alexis Maddala Yu Lin (SGD 7.00) - Teh Yu Juan Juvone (SGD 100.00) - Sundaram Mohan Shakthi (SGD 20.00) - Nabilah Binte Mohammad Razif (SGD 50.00) - Suhanniya (SGD 50.00) - Ankita Mukherji (SGD 54.50) - Janarthanan Sri Sanjana (SGD 10.00) - Dhurga D/O Kalaysilvan (SGD 10.00) - Chan Pui San Olivia (SGD 10.00) - Neo Kai Wen Jevon (SGD 50.00) - Kalvinder Kaur D/O Ranjit Singh (SGD 150.00) - Tan Li Min Berny (SGD 100.00) - Lee Wen Yi (SGD 100.00) - Muneerah BTE Ab Razak (SGD 5.00) - Nurul Sa'idah Binte Arsad (SGD 25.00) 30/05/2025 - Shafna (SGD 25.00) - Nerissa Goh Jia Yi (SGD 30.00) - Muhamad Sufyan Bin Mohd Jais (SGD 50.00) - Muhammad Rasul S/O Abdul Rahim (SGD 20.00) - Yong Rui An (SGD 20.00) - Jade Deng Jiaxuan (SGD 50.00) - King Yu Yen (SGD 5.00) - Nandini Ghatak (SGD 50.00) - Choo Yuan Zheng Nigel (SGD 50.00) - Rachel Ooi Siew Hui (SGD 30.00) - Tan Leng (SGD 20.00) - Georgina Wong Jed (SGD 20.00) - Deb Mukherji (SGD 50.00) | |||||||||||||||||||
10 | M21 | RK | Fulfilled | 27/04/2025 | Funds | RK is a 39 year-old construction worker from South Tamil Nadu, India. He worked in Singapore as a scaffolding worker for 14 years, from 2010 to 2024. He was earning a salary of 700-800 SGD a month, which was used to support his family of 6, consisting of his wife, 10 year-old son, 5 year-old daughter, and his elderly parents. On 26 December 2024, he experienced acute stomach pain and sought medical attention at a clinic. The next day, he was hospitalised at Ng Teng Fong General Hospital, where they discovered kidney stones. He was admitted for 1 day and given 15 days of medical leave, but he couldn’t take the pain and applied for 1 month of unpaid leave and flew back home in January 2025. In India, he saw a doctor and was given an injection which stopped the pain. But when he returned to Singapore, the pain began again. He visited a clinic and was advised to undergo an operation to remove kidney stones. RK tendered his resignation and opted to get the surgery back in India, where his family members would be able to care for him after the procedure. In February, RK returned to India to continue medical treatment. He had to undergo Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery (RIRS) and will need 3-4 months to recover from this before he can start looking for work again. Since RK stopped receiving an income from March onwards, his wife and 60 year-old father have been supporting their family of 6. RK’s wife and father work as farmhands and earn a daily wage of 300 INR / 4.60 SGD, which is difficult for the family to subsist on. His wife and father are only able to work half a day each day due to the nature of the work. Moreover, the work is not continuous or guaranteed. In order to afford RK’s medical treatment, his father had to take a loan of 150,000 INR / 2,304 SGD from his employer. For the past 2 months, the landlord has kept RK’s father’s wages as part of the loan interest. However, the landlord is now asking for the principal loan amount to be returned. Apart from the loan repayment, we also hope to support RK’s family with 2 months of living expenses as his father and wife’s income is not enough to support the family and RK can only start looking for work again after fully recovering from his condition.

13 | M19 | J | Fulfilled | 24/08/2024 | Funds | J is a 38-year old male Bangladeshi worker, who had been working in Singapore for 8 years. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 lymphoma in August 2021 after experiencing sudden left-sided weakness. J returned to Bangladesh for treatment. In January 2022, we disbursed $2,000 for 6 chemotherapy sessions and eventually, J was in remission. He returned to Singapore again to work in August 2022. However, his company stopped allowing overtime work as promised. As his salary was too low and no longer sustainable for his family, he went back home after just 6 months here. In April 2023, J returned to Singapore for work again. However, he only managed to work for 3 days before he experienced severe pain in his legs and hips. J consulted a doctor here who found that his lymphoma had relapsed. He returned home to Bangladesh to seek treatment, given his inaccessibility to healthcare in Singapore. He underwent chemotherapy sessions again in Bangladesh, and was in a bad state for several months between scans and chemotherapy—paralysed waist down, bedbound, unable to move. During this relapse, J reached out to us again for assistance with his chemotherapy treatment. Throughout this journey, J's brother has been a tremendous support, taking on the financial responsibility of caring for their parents, J's wife, and J’s two children. From June 2023 to October 2023, we disbursed $4,928 to cover the expenses of his new chemotherapy sessions. As J is unable to work due to ongoing treatment and frequent hospitalization, he also sought assistance for his family's expenses. In November 2023, we disbursed $1,000 (4 months of living expenses) to cover food, school fees, and transport fees. Currently, J’s lymphoma is in remission. However, his doctor advised him to undergo bone marrow transplant as a more definitive treatment for his lymphoma, in light of how quickly his cancer had relapsed. The transplant needs to be done while he is in remission. J has consistently expressed his desire to undergo this transplant, hoping it will give him the best chance at living for his family. Since a bone marrow transplant is expensive (~$20,000 SGD), he has arranged to sell his family’s land to cover part of the costs and has requested support with the remainder. We are disbursing another $2,600 SGD from the Standing Solidarity Fund, and collaborating with Lighthouse Club for more support. We seek to fundraise the remaining $9,500 SGD. | 20/09/2024 extended to 18/12/2024 | (Tally: $7151.13/$9,500) 24/08 - Lukas Chew (SGD 20.00) - imurmotherinlaw (SGD 20.00) - Nadia Samadi (SGD 20.00) - Zai (SGD 50.00) - Mangay310792 (SGD 100.00) - Bevlyn (SGD 70.00) - Kristie Ng (SGD 50.00) 25/08 - darkknight (SGD 30.00) - nuriyah (SGD 20.00) - JAZZ (SGD 15.00) - celchoo (SGD 30.00) - Amirah (SGD 100.00) - frankie (SGD 10.00) - wx (SGD 50.00) 26/08 - Strangleberry (SGD 10.00) - gldxxx (SGD 10.00) - Syirah (SGD 50.00) - Nitya Sriram (SGD 40.00) - vortexitude (SGD 50.00) 27/08 - Wadiah (SGD 10.00) - LZR (SGD 50.00) - natalia (SGD 50.00) 28/08 - Adlin (SGD 50.00) - redwanhamzah (SGD 50.00) - Benedict Tan (SGD 50.00) 30/08 - esther (SGD 70.00) - Kai Lin (SGD 100.00) 31/08 - ama (SGD 10.00) - Rendell Tan (SGD 200.00) 03/09 - bririon (SGD 5.00) 04/09 - Dylan (SGD 100.00) 07/09 - lanna (SGD 100.00) 12/09 - tiana (SGD 50.00) 13/09 - gracie lou (SGD 20.00) - nuraliah (SGD 33.88) 15/09 - ang yus xin tan suat hong (SGD 627.70) 18/09 - yingxuan (SGD 50.00) - curiouslah (SGD 50.00) - ying (SGD 10.00) - walnads (SGD 80.00) - farid (SGD 20.00) 19/09 - CYH (SGD 50.00) 21/09 - sarahang99 (SGD 50.00) - lanna (SGD 75.00) 24/09 - Vanessa (SGD 20.00) 25/09 - Jumari (SGD 50.00) - yu xuan (SGD 35.00) - dexter (SGD 5.00) 30/09 - Rachelsz (SGD 50.00) 06/10 - z_ (SGD 200.00) 08/10 - JM (SGD 100.00) 17/10 - Berny Tan (SGD 200.00) 19/10 - rugs (SGD 20.00) - mandychng1994 (SGD 50.00) 19/10 - Priya (SGD 30.00) - jo (SGD 45.00) - melissa88 (SGD 40.00) - anu cherian (SGD 50.00) 21/10 - Amirahripin (SGD 5.00) - Nessa (SGD 59.00) 22/10 - Ning (SGD 50.00) - chris yeo (SGD 35.00) - Jaclyn (SGD 40.00) 25/10 - SSH (SGD 30.00) 26/10 - Nat (SGD 40.00) - atjl (SGD 50.00) 27/10 - Kate LIM (SGD 100.00) - Kai Lin (SGD 50.00) - Russel Goh (SGD 50.00) 28/10 - Jun Sheng (SGD 50.00) 29/10 - Jehoshaphat (SGD 150.00) 30/10 - Sandhya (SGD 20.00) 01/11 - PM (SGD 100.00) - atjl (SGD 30.00) - Natalie Eng (SGD 38.00) - griselda (SGD 30.00) 02/11 - ada (SGD 100.00) - mun cheng (SGD 100.00) 04/11 - coco (SGD 70.00) - wendy neo (SGD 33.00) 07/11 - lanna (SGD 30.00) - athirah (SGD 5.00) 13/11 - kristen (SGD 43.55) 25/11 - nn (SGD 30.00) - nerissa (SGD 25.00) 26/11 - xt (SGD 20.00) 04/12 - clifford (SGD 5.00) - clifford (SGD 5.00) 09/12 - Nigel Choo (SGD 10.00) 13/12 - onion (SGD 56.00) 17/12 - Charing (SGD 375.00) - Rachel Tan (SGD 40.00) 18/12 - wx (SGD 100.00) 22/12 - Amanda (SGD 50.00) 23/12 - peckshiaoshan (SGD 100.00) 24/12 - ada (SGD 150.00) 28/12 - bernard (SGD 20.00) 29/12 - sroyon (SGD 8.00) 07/01/25 - jenn champion (SGD 100.00) PayNow - Chen Ai Shan (SGD 25.00) - Tanisha Naqvi (SGD 20.00) - Pang Wen Kang Benson (SGD 188.00) - Khoo Hwee Lin Melissa (SGD 50.00) - Muhammad Rasul (SGD 50.00) - Lee Ann (SGD 15.00) - Yau Xin Yue (SGD 200.00) - Lin Jian (SGD 274.00) - Tasmana (SGD 200.00) - Aditi (SGD 130.00) | |||||||||||||||||||
14 | M18 | HN | Fulfilled | 15/07/2023 | Funds | HN is a 50-year-old domestic helper who was diagnosed with cervical cancer. She is now back home in the Philippines, and is scheduled to start treatment on Monday, 17th July. Unfortunately, the unexpected medical expenses are placing a significant burden on her. We are seeking to raise $5,700 for her entire course of treatment, which includes radiotherapy, brachytherapy and chemotherapy. In two recent fundraisers, we supported domestic workers who were also battling with cancer. It feels disheartening to witness similar cases time and time again. When workers fall ill or decide to return to their home countries, they are often treated with indifference and detachment – reflecting the transactional and impersonal nature of how domestic workers are often valued solely for the labor they provide. While we continue to strive for fairer healthcare and employment rights, it is crucial to remember that solidarity and compassion should be the foundation of our efforts.

15 | M17 | MS | Fulfilled | 29/03/2023 | Funds | MS is a 49-year old Filipino domestic helper who returned home to the Philippines to undergo a hysterectomy, after she was found to have multiple ovarian cysts and a tumour in her left ovary. Last December, we fundraised SGD $3,500 to cover the costs of her surgery and other medical bills. After the surgery, her left ovarian tumour was sent to the lab to be examined for cancer. Surgeons saw a rectal mass as well, which was also sent for a biopsy. A few weeks later, she received the results and was informed that she did have ovarian cancer. The cancer had spread from her left ovary to her rectum. While her ovaries were removed in surgery, the rectal mass was left as is. Thankfully, she does not need another surgery to remove the rectal mass. Her oncologist advised for 6 cycles of chemotherapy, once every 3 weeks. MS started her chemotherapy in late February, and has since completed 2 sessions. She has expressed that she is feeling depressed, weak and tired. She is also experiencing body aches and only able to consume small amounts of food. Although her initial plans to return to Singapore and work for the same employer are currently on hold, she has found another way to continue working for them. She is now teaching their new helper how to cook through Zoom, and as a result, thankfully, is still receiving her salary. MS is a single mother living with her 3 sons, 1 daughter and 1 granddaughter. Most of her salary is used to cover her living expenses. This leaves her with SGD $200 per month, which unfortunately, is insufficient to manage the extra costs of medical expenses. She has had to borrow money from her neighbour to pay her bills. We are currently seeking to raise SGD $3,100 to cover the expenses of 5 chemotherapy sessions. MS will continue to use her savings to pay for her other medical expenses, including medication, lab tests, and hospital stays. Previously, we shared about a migrant worker's lack of access to healthcare because of a financial barrier, after their subsidies for public healthcare were removed in 2007. As MS' employer was not willing to pay for her medical costs, MS was compelled to postpone her diagnosis & treatment until when she returned to the Philippines, where it is more affordable than in Singapore. She had to make two separate trips: the first for her medical tests that detected her ovarian tumour; and the second trip, a few weeks later, for her surgery. While cancer may not be preventable, barriers to healthcare limit the options and increase complications for workers like MS, especially when there are delays in diagnoses and treatments. This becomes particularly dangerous when untimely access to treatment could potentially affect a worker's chances of survival. We will continue to keep in touch with MS to support her through her chemotherapy sessions, both emotionally and financially. | 21/4/2023 | (Tally: $3130/$3,100) 29/3 fish $30 29/3 Hui Suan Chung $20 29/3 Tan Tse Ling $3 29/3 Kwan Yin Tong $50 30/3 Send to my account $50 30/3 Nurul Al $100 31/3 Jen Quinn $50 31/3 iliyana $10 31/3 Caitlin OHara $10 01/4 John Eapen $100 01/4 Tipan $10 02/4 yz $150 02/4 vila $30 04/4 LAU YUN QI $100 04/4 ANATHAPINDIKA $39.04 04/4 Sophia Lin $10 04/4 agatha $50 05/4 Aqilah $50 07/4 ila_CikAdek $30 07/4 YUHANIS $5 07/4 indah $10 07/4 JACQUELINE $35 08/4 TAN HAN YING ABIGAIL $100 08/4 clara $30 08/4 thy $20 08/4 Prema $50 08/4 min $1 08/4 Beans $20 08/4 Jenn Champion $20 09/4 Jenn Champion $25 09/4 Gabrielle Cheong K $5 09/4 Sharon Wong $30 12/04 ch $20 13/04 celchoo $15 13/04 GRACE WEE JINGSI $1800 14/04 Chia $50 14/04 i rounded it up $1.96 | Tom (Telegram: @tom_tom_5) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
16 | M17 | MS | Fulfilled | 28/12/2022 | Funds | MS is a 49-year old Filipino domestic worker who has been working in Singapore for 12 years.In October 2022, she was found to have multiple ovarian cysts as well as a tumour in her left ovary during a health check-up in the Philippines, which she had paid for out of pocket. She was advised by her doctor to get a hysterectomy (removal of the uterus). Her employer was not willing to pay for her medical costs - be it in Singapore (where they are covered by insurance), or in the Philippines (where it would be cheaper). MS has worked for this employer for over a decade. Given the higher cost of treatment in Singapore, MS decided to return to the Philippines for her surgery, and on 12 December 2022, she underwent a successful hysterectomy. MS was given 2 months of advance salary by her employer to cover some costs, but the amount was inadequate. Earlier this month, we sent MS $1,500 via our Standing Solidarity Fund (SSF) to cover the costs of her initial hospitalisation deposit, which she had paid for by taking a loan from her neighbour. She needs a further $3,500 to cover the full costs of her pre-op labs, surgery, hospitalisation stay, medications, & transport, etc; while she focuses on recovering, and is currently unable to work. MS is a single mother, and she is keen to return to Singapore in good health to resume work for the same employer in the future. | 31/12/2022 |  | Melvin (Telegram: @Melvinongg) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
17 | L04 | VR | Fulfilled | 1/10/2022 | Funds | ‘VR’ is a 35 year old shipyard worker who took loans to pay for his father’s medical bills and funeral earlier this year. VR’s father battled with kidney issues and eventually passed away in July this year. VR took some of this loan with interest and is seeking support to pay off this debt by the end of this year, which is also when he plans to leave Singapore to head home and start a family. VR has taken a loan of a total of INR 5 lakhs (~SGD 8,620), and has paid off INR 2 lakhs (~SGD 3,450) of this loan. The remaining sum is approximately SGD 5,200 and he is seeking support for SGD 3,900 as he has a payment plan to cover the rest of this amount through his monthly salary of SGD 650. VR’s loan was taken from personal friends and people in his village, and his mother also had to pawn her gold to afford her husband's healthcare costs. With his monthly salary, he has to support his mother and grandmother, pay back his loans, and cover his daily expenses in Singapore. VR shared with us how dangerous his work is everyday as a cleaner at an oil chemical plant, where he operates a high pressure hydrojet to clean shipping equipment. He has worked in Singapore for 4 years and yet his monthly salary is only SGD 650, despite the risk undertaken & the skill set required for this job. In many parts of the world, high-risk jobs like these have risk pay factored into one’s salary. This is not the case in Singapore for most migrant labourers, mainly due to 1) Singapore’s use-and-discard treatment of migrant workers, which is emboldened by our labour policies; and 2) the lack of independent labour unions that can collectively bargain worker’s wages. As we organise towards systemic change, we must continue to make sure no individual is left behind in a system that places profit over people. We seek your solidarity in supporting VR’s dream of returning home debt-free so he can start his future family with a peace of mind. | 30/10/2022 | (Tally: $3,950.50/$3,900) 31/10 Rachel - $20 Maevis - $30 Anya - $50 1/11 Jessica - $102 hyms - $50 louisab - $50 Loh Chi - $20 JinHee - $50 Sharon Wong - $20 Berny Tan - $100 ry yong - $20 Nidhi - $55.50 Koon Yen - $100 Syahmi - $5 walnads - $50 2/11 Fahimah - $50 Yeong Si Han - $5 3/11 San - $100 Shien - $30 Nadhirah - $54 11/11 Amy - $40 Ianna - $50 Adnan - $20 18/11 Maryam - $200 Ravi - $200 20/11 Clifford - $10 22/11 Jayashree - $50 23/11 Shera - $20 snoentil - $300 Deirdre - $200 24/11 Juliana - $250 jay - $50 louis - $20 25/11 JinHee - $50 Hab - $50 Vanessa Koh - $30 Sara - $50 26/11 Kai - $1 30/11 Gabrielle - $5 2/12 MumTaj - $50 3/12 Nurul - $100 Tricia - $10 Shien - $200 4/12 maggietan - $50 Tan - $70 7/12 Marissa - $30 Gabrielle - $5 8/12 ananya joshi - $50 15/12 Tammy - $828 | Melvin (Telegram: @Melvinongg) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
18 | M16 | MN | Fulfilled | 26/9/2022 | Funds | ‘MN’ is a 44 year old domestic helper who is undergoing treatment for Stage 3 breast cancer in the Philippines. She first discovered a lump in her right breast in October 2019 while working, and ignored it at first; she kept working until April 2022 when she went back to the Philippines to take care of her mother’s health. While visiting, MN experienced severe bleeding from her breast and she was found collapsed in the toilet by her family. She was rushed to the hospital where her haemoglobin level was 57g/L (usually between 120-150 for women), and she needed 4-5 bags of blood transfusion. After a CT scan, mammograms, and a biopsy, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. MN has been receiving treatment in the Philippines since. MN’s doctors advised her to begin chemo in the last week of July, and she has been attending chemotherapy sessions every 2 weeks. The frequency of these sessions will increase as she progresses in her treatment. Since April, MN has spent all of her savings on her hospital bills and daily expenses, and is currently depending on our team for support. We have sent MN $1,900 via the SSF thus far, and after discussing with her, have decided that a larger fundraiser would be more feasible going forward to support her needs. MN had worked in Singapore for 6 years before recent events led her to return to the Philippines and her current health situation. Currently, she depends on her family for finances, and is unable to pay for her cancer treatment on her own.

19 | L03 | M | Deadline has passed | 24/6/2022 | Funds | M is a 43-year old Malaysian Tamil worker who has worked in Singapore for 20 years with a furniture moving company. He recently came into financial hardship due to two medical emergencies and a death in his family. In April 2021, his brother suffered a stroke that rendered him unable to work. In January this year M’s father passed away, and just last month, in May 2022, his brother’s wife had to undergo a heart operation. To pay for both these medical emergencies and his father’s funeral, M had to borrow money from his colleagues in Singapore and his relatives in Malaysia. Some of these loans were offered to M with high interest rates of up to 10%, but he had no choice but to accept for urgent need of money. He has been trying to pay these loans off for the better part of a year while being the sole breadwinner of his entire family since his brother’s stroke. On top of this, he has to pay for his own rent and meal costs in Singapore. Every month, he pays off what he can using his salary, and has to resort to loaning more money for day-to-day necessities. Because of the high interest rates, some months he ends up only paying off the interest and not the principal sum loaned. At this point M is trapped in the vicious cycle of incurring debt to pay off debt. Earlier this month, we sent him SGD $1,000 from our Standing Solidarity Fund (SSF) to help him settle an urgent loan. We are seeking to raise SGD $4,000 to help him settle all his debt, so that he can move forward with his life beyond this difficult period of time. | 24/7/2022 | (Tally: $1,450/$4,000) Amount previously pledged from SSF: $1,000 24/6 Low Koon - $200 24/6 Jessica - $101 24/6 Arveen - $100 24/6 John Eapen - $150 24/6 Maevis - $30 24/6 Tan Tse - $5 24/6 Meena - $15 24/6 Tan - $5 24/6 Priscilla - $20 24/6 Jade - $20 25/06 25/06 25/6 Lisa - $50 25/5 Lisa - $100 25/6 Zone - $10 25/6 Dave - $20 25/6 Marsya - $20 25/6 Katherine - $20 25/6 Chia - $50 26/06 Jayashree - $100 27/06 Aishah - $20 30/06 Jing Yi - $2.10 03/07 Nurul- $100 6/07 Tong - $100 Gabrielle - $7 8/07 Jean - $50 9/07 Amalina- $5 Anya - $150 | Araliya / Anya (Telegram: @isobelanya) wa coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
20 | S01 | JB | Fulfilled | 25/7/2022 | Funds | JB is a 40-year-old Filipino domestic helper who was wrongfully terminated from her job in October 2021 (i.e. without notice period or salary in lieu), after facing unfair and exploitative working conditions. She had been working for almost 8 months from 6AM-11PM daily and was not permitted an off day. JB also mentioned having to wash her employer’s 5 cars every day and was only paid $580/month for an average of 150 hours of work per week. This constitutes an hourly wage of less than $1. The absence of a minimum wage law in this country allows employers to work their employees to the bone for an amount that is at their discretion. We sent her $300 via the SSF in Oct 2021 as cash-in-hand and for her new job search. However, she recently got in touch again to share that she has not been able to regain employment in Singapore, and her husband’s job as a fisherman is not enough to sustain their family. Her family spends 15,000 pesos/month on their needs, so we sent her another $745 via the SSF in July 2022 for 2 months of expenses. We are conducting a fundraiser for another 4 months, till she is able to re-enter Singapore via an ethical agency. JB has written a note in Tagalog detailing her experiences working here (see our IG Post). We are seeking to raise $1,500 as compensation for her labour & unfair termination, to provide for her and her family. One day, she would like to return to Singapore under new employment. | 25/7/2022 | (Tally: $1,517/$1,500) 25/7 Iris - $5 Maevis - $30 Tan - $5 yz - $100 Gabrielle Cheong - $5 Coco - $30 26/7 Sandy - $10 celchoo - $10 M3 - $10 Jing En - $100 Melvin Ong - $20 27/7 viviensu - $50 Lim Hui - $100 28/7 Kay Yen - $100 1/8 Arwin - $50 3/8 Aditi - $75 Ravi Amran - $100 Maryam - $300 4/8 ShaiAnn - $100 SarahT - $12 Mindy - $50 Meena - $15 6/8 Ashley - $100 8/8 Shien - $30 Pho - $20 Zahab - $93 | Melvin (Telegram: @Melvinongg) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
21 | M15 | S | Fulfilled | 7/4/2022 | Funds | S (M15) is a 30-year-old Bangladeshi woman whose late husband, H, was a migrant worker in Singapore. He passed away in June 2021 from liver failure after presenting with an episode of vomiting blood just a week prior to his death. During the week-long hospitalisation, he was found to have Hepatitis B that was undetected during his pre-employment health screening. It is likely that he developed liver cirrhosis over time from Hepatitis B. He succumbed to his illness on 3 June 2021 and is survived by his wife S, and their 5-year-old daughter. H came to Singapore 15 months before his death with the primary intention of earning enough money to pay for his daughter’s heart operation. She has a congenital heart condition, amongst other medical issues, and the recommended heart operation cost 6 lacs (approximately $9,500 SGD). As is the case with most migrant workers, he incurred a massive debt coming to Singapore and ended up passing away with less money than he had to begin with. Using some funds sent to her by H’s employer, his friends who are also migrant workers, and the Singapore Bangladesh Society, S managed to pay for her daughter’s Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure, and pay off H’s outstanding debt. S and her daughter are currently staying at the Firoza Badi Disabled Children Hospital where her daughter is receiving treatment. She hopes to take care of her daughter full time for 2 more months before setting up her own garment business. Our fundraising goal is $2,000+ which will make 4 months of S’s daughter’s healthcare expenses along with the one-time cost of setting up her garments business; however we will be keeping the fundraiser open till 24th April so as to accommodate as many contributions as possible. | 24/04/2022 | (Tally: $3,135/$2,000) 7/4 Maevis - $30 7/4 Cel Choo - $15 7/4 J Wong - $30 7/4 Muneerah - $10 8/4 Ifwat - $5 8/4 Lisa - $25 8/4 Aisyah - $20 8/4 Mindy - $50 8/4 Dil - $500 8/4 MC - $50 8/4 Amanda - $30 8/4 Rosel - $10 8/4 John - $200 8/4 Olivia - $200 9/4 Ruoning - $100 9/4 Aishani - $800 10/4 Maryam - $300 12/4 Muntasir - $500 (via Donorbox) 12/4 Pijush - $260 (via Donorbox) | Kai Lin (Telegram: @ohkailin) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
22 | L02 | J | Fulfilled | 24/2/2022 | Funds | J is a Bangladeshi migrant worker who experienced pain in his anal region for a prolonged period while he was in Singapore. He went for a couple of preliminary tests that did not reveal anything so doctors advised further exploratory testing. However, his employer began asking about salary deductions—via a supervisor who was likely also a migrant worker—so J stopped his visits to the hospital even though the pain had not subsided. He returned to Bangladesh in April last year due to his boss’ non-compliance and his need to seek medical treatment. He saw a doctor who identified that he had an infected anal fistula. As a result he was scheduled for an emergency day surgery to remove the fistula tract. To pay for this he took a loan of 1.8 lac (equivalent to SGD $2,800) to cover the cost of the surgery and miscellaneous medical costs. The loan is informal and the lender does not charge interest in the first year, which lapses in April 2022. Beyond this timeline, the interest charged is a balloon interest rate of 30%. We are seeking to raise SGD $2,800 by 15th March to help J repay this loan. Rightfully, it is a cost that should have been borne by his employer in Singapore via insurance but as we explore in the following slides, it is a responsibility that many employers default on.

23 | M10 - Second Fundraiser | JP | Fulfilled | 3/3/2022 | Funds | JP (M10) is a 41 year old Filipino domestic helper who was diagnosed with cervical cancer in March 2021 at KK Hospital. She worked in Singapore for 8 years and had been with her most recent ex-employer for 9 months before learning about her diagnosis. Her employers terminated her contract and booked her on a flight back home during her hospitalisation, while waiting for the diagnosis, and she is currently undergoing chemotherapy in her hometown, Ilo Ilo. We previously conducted a fundraiser for JP’s chemotherapy so this case is not an unfamiliar one. You can refer to our previous post for both a detailed breakdown of this case and an outline of employer negligence and other systemic issues, especially when it comes to migrant workers’ health and overall wellbeing. In our first fundraiser, we supported JP with 1) funds via the SSF for an emergency hysterectomy in Ilo Ilo; as well as 2) a fundraiser for chemotherapy. Last month, we learnt that JP needed some additional funds for two more radiotherapy procedures as part of her cancer treatment – tomotherapy, followed by brachytherapy. We sent JP SGD $2,700 in January via the SSF for the tomotherapy treatment, which constitutes 25 sessions in 25 days. Now, she is at the end of her tomotherapy treatment, and is in need of funds for her brachytherapy sessions. Brachytherapy costs SGD $2,500 and we seek to fundraise the full amount by 11th March so JP can make the transition between therapies as smoothly as possible. The good news is that once her treatment is over, she will likely be in much better health and fit to support her family once again. | 11/3/2022 | (Tally: $2640.28/$2,500) 3/3 Aditi - $20 (paynow) 3/3 a - $40 3/3 Jayashree - $100 3/3 Siti - $5 3/3 Celchoo - $15 3/3 Loh Chi - $50 3/3 athirah - $5 3/3 Advitiya - $5 3/3 Ryan Cheong - $100 3/3 Rachael - $50 3/3 Jean Loo - $300 3/3 Ru Yun - $30 3/3 Acacia - $10 4/3 Dione - $10 4/3 krystel - $2 4/3 Cherie - $50 5/3 naaana - $50 6/3 jiahan - $40 - 7/3 Maevis - $30 8/3 Sammie - $15 (paynow) 8/3 Farheen - $10 8/3 Berny - $100 8/3 patchoulipearl - $10 8/3 Shriya - $20 8/3 Misha - $15 8/3 Jean Goh - $100 8/3 Mumtaj - $50 8/3 Ianna - $100 8/3 Pavithra - $50 8/3 Joann Heng - $50 9/3 Jenn Champion - $181 9/3 Rachel - $50 9/3 Melissa - $100 9/3 Mairsarah - $40 9/3 yams - $15 9/3 Liana - $20 (paynow) 9/3 Crunch - $50 (paynow) 9/3 Po Yew Teng - $612 9/3 Sueanne Amelia - $15.28 10/3 Arianne Reyes - $125 (via paypal) 9/3 Nancy - $16 (diverted to SSF as need met) 10/3 Tish - $20 (diverted to SSF as need met) | Jill (Telegram: @jellymould) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
24 | M13 | S | Fulfilled | 13/9/2021 | Funds | ‘S’ (M13) is a 29-year old migrant worker from Thanjavur, India, who worked in Singapore for 4.5 years in both the construction & waste management industries. ‘S’ recently returned to India for treatment after a diagnosis at SGH revealed that he was suffering from end stage renal failure (ESRF). He received this diagnosis after visiting the hospital for blurred vision and while admitted at SGH he was informed that his kidney disease was at Stage 5 (end stage) and that he was in need of immediate dialysis to prolong his life. Doctors in Singapore advised him to seek a transplant, as a lifetime of dialysis would be very expensive given that ‘S’ is only 29-years old. ‘S’s father in India volunteered to donate one of his kidneys to him and as they are family members, the chances of organ rejection reduces significantly. Given the high costs of treatment in Singapore and potential long-term benefit of a kidney transplant, ‘S’ chose to go to India for his treatment. We are fundraising SGD 11,244 out of the overall cost of SGD 14,244 by 15th of October. We are allocating SGD 3,000 to ‘S’ listing from our Standing Solidarity Fund. He can book a surgery as long as he has the money to pay for it, and his hope is that he can get the surgery in late October. If we do not fundraise the SGD 11,244 by then, ‘S’ will have to book a later surgery date. A later surgery date will mean ‘S’ will be incurring extra costs for additional months of dialysis, approximately $600 SGD/month, and every penny he uses on his dialysis is money he loses out to use for his surgery, which is the treatment he needs.

25 | L01 | A | Fulfilled | 28/7/2021 | Funds | A (L01) is a 29 year old Bangladeshi migrant worker who was recently referred to us by HealthServe. He had borrowed money from four of his colleagues (who are also Bangladeshi migrant workers), and a couple of friends back home to pay for an operation for his father (which totaled SGD $5,900). His father recently experienced a serious stroke in Bangladesh. ‘A’s situation is especially difficult as he lost his mother in December 2020, and has come to Singapore to work multiple times. Each time he has paid high agent fees, and currently, his employers are cutting $200 a month from his paltry salary to offset the quarantine costs when he entered Singapore - which is illegal. He and four of his friends gave up all the savings they had to send for his father’s treatment , following which they did not have enough money to pay their respective food caterers for daily meals. Through an SSF (Standing Solidarity Fund) disbursement of SGD $1,000, we were able to send enough money for all five men to pay their caterers and have enough meals for the month. We are now fundraising for a total amount of $4,900 for ‘A’ to repay the loan he took from his friends to pay for his father’s surgery. | 8/30/2021 | (Tally: $4919/$4,900) [excluding $1,000 previously sent from Standing Solidarity Fund] 28/7 Nathasha - $50 28/7 Anon - $5 28/7 Sarah - $50 28/7 Katie - $50 28/7 Jean - $20 28/7 Rose - $20 28/7 Tan - $5 28/7 Yelhsaa - $10 29/7 Sharon - $100 29/7 Nina - $10 29/7 Izzati - $10 29/7 Suci Dian - $25 29/7 Siti Nur - $100 29/7 Anon - $25 29/7 Ninekinds - $50 29/7 Meghan - $50 29/7 Avril - $100 29/7 Syaza - $50 29/7 Beatrice - $150 29/7 Bianca - $20 29/7 Ahlingwei - $5 29/7 Scott - $10 29/7 Ariel - $ 100 29/7 Wn - $20 30/7 Liz - $50 30/7 Yee Shuen - $50 30/7 Dawnorreina - $3 30/7 Salwa - $20 30/7 Anon - $10 30/7 Hing Yee - $10 30/7 Ei - $20 31/7 Elizabeth - $50 31/7 Melissa - $50 31/7 Avonda - $50 31/7 Makoto - $15 31/7 Anneliese - $80 31/7 Wear We Are - $37.20 1/8 Nicholas - $50 1/8 Pho - $20 1/8 Dawn - $100 1/8 Roisin - $5 1/8 Qinny - $50 1/8 SY - $100 1/8 SL - $50 3/8 Nur - $5 3/8 Lina - $27 3/8 Liyena - $60 3/8 Asri - $50 3/8 Fazlina - $200 3/8 Soh - $100 3/8 Clara - $150 3/8 Faizah - $20 4/8 Hairiani - $50 4/8 Suhayla - $15 4/8 Ho Zhi - $20 4/8 SC - $300 4/8 Szeto - $50 4/8 Nat - $10 5/8 Janessa - $200 5/8 Amanda - $275 6/8 Shermin - $12.50 6/8 Amanda - $50 6/8 Stef - $30 6/8 Rash - $20 7/8 Younghyun - $20 8/8 Kristen - $50 8/8 Irenaeus - $250 8/8 Lisa - $20 8/8 Jiaying - $20 9/8 Nurul - $50 10/8 Cbarcellona - $40 10/8 Anon - $150 10/8 Izlyn - $20 10/8 Aisyah - $10 12/8 Anon - $10 12/8 Nur - $5 12/8 Minsoo - $30 12/8 Lian Zhi Qi - $10 12/8 Minglee Tan - $50 13/8 Dika - $20 13/8 Rachel - $66 15/8 Pava - $50 16/8 Mel - $30 17/8 Boon Pin - $200 22/8 Jefferson - $20 29/8 Ryan - $50 29/8 John - $200 30/8 Preethi - $10 1/9 Deesha - $19.30 1/9 Eleanor - $19 | Athirah (Telegram: @srinurathirah) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
26 | C01 | W | Fulfilled | 12/8/2021 | Funds | Ms. W (C01) is a 52-year old Chinese national who was recently referred to us by a local Family Service Centre. She is married to her Singaporean husband, who is a taxi driver, since 2015 and is seeking to raise SGD $1,000 to pay for quarantine fees for her trip back to China. Currently, Ms. W is on a social visit pass and has been returning to China every 3 months pre-Covid. Her last return trip was in October 2019. She was due to return to China again in February 2020, but the flight was cancelled as the Covid-19 situation in China got worse. In July 2020, she bought another ticket but it was cancelled again and she has been residing in Singapore since. Recently, Ms W received a notice from ICA that she needs to leave Singapore by 12 July 2021 - otherwise, she would be charged/fined for overstaying. She and her husband requested for an extension from ICA and purchased a flight ticket to leave Singapore on 27 August 2021. Due to the current Covid-19 situation, overseas returning citizens of China are required to serve a quarantine order which costs 600 RMB per day (~SGD $125). They will also have to serve additional quarantine if they make an additional transit to another provincial state. As Ms W’s hometown is in Heilongjiang and there is no direct flight, she would need to serve quarantine orders twice. These two quarantine periods add up to 21 days, costing approximately SGD $2,700. The quarantine fee is unmanageable for Ms W and her husband. Ms W’s social visit pass status disallows her from working in Singapore, and she does not have any income or any next-of-kin in China to help. Her husband’s income has been poor since Covid-19 started; his savings have also been depleted after purchasing Ms. W’s plane ticket. Both Ms. W and her husband have tried various methods to obtain the quarantine fees, such as pawning and borrowing from friends. They have managed to raise money to cover her plane ticket, pre-departure swab test, and partial quarantine fees. However, she is still short of SGD $1,000. | 8/20/2021 | (Tally: $1,018/$1,000) 12/8 Priscillia - $20 12/8 Katie - $10 12/8 Minsoo - $20 12/8 Naz - $20 12/8 Siti Nurkhalilah - $50 12/8 Minglee Tan - $50 12/8 Yeong Si Han - $5 12/8 Dika [Paynow] - $50 12/8 @fiarouge [Paynow] - $5 13/8 Bvlyn - $10 13/8 Amanlia - $10 13/8 Rosepxx - $25 13/8 Natalie - $10 13/8 Yan Xin Ling - $2 14/8 Ryan - $50 15/8 Lexine - $20 15/8 Ashiley - $5 16/8 William - $10 16/8 Meenakshi Ilango - $5 16/8 Clara - $50 16/8 Caren - $30 16/8 Kenroi - $328 16/8 Nurul Ain Binte Jamil - $48 16/8 00 - $75 17/8 Charlene - $10 17/8 Yanqin [Paynow] - $100 | Kai Lin (Telegram: @Ohkailin) was coordinating | ||||||||||||||||||

28 | M11 | S | Fulfilled | 8/7/2021 | Funds | S’ was referred to us by HealthServe because he needed to replace his damaged phone before returning to Bangladesh after a successful WICA case outcome. Using the Standing Solidarity Fund (SSF), our team was able to send ‘S’ $500 SGD as a small sum for his basic medical follow-ups in Bangladesh, and to support his family. ‘S’s initial phone need was met quickly after a public callout on Instagram for phones put us in touch with a donor. However, upon meeting ‘S’ we learnt that he had a few other pre-existing needs. The WICA case he was involved in was a claim for a 2019 workplace injury to his back, leg, and finger. Since that injury and the opening of a WICA injury claim case, ‘S’ has been unable to work and has been living in Singapore on a Special Pass. For the last two years, ‘S’ has been unable to earn a salary and his company has only been providing him a small food allowance. He had no savings, was living with a friend, and had been borrowing money from other friends to get by. The WICA case regarding his injuries also did not include any settlement amount to ‘S’. | 8/7/2021 | (Tally: $500/$500) 8/7 Standing Solidarity Fund - $500 | Was coordinated by MMA Team. | ||||||||||||||||||
29 | M09 | A | Fulfilled | 20/5/2021 | Funds | ‘A’ is a 22 year old male from Tamil Nadu who has been working in Singapore since December 2019. He is in need of urgent financial assistance for his father’s medical needs. His father himself worked in Singapore for 16 years from 1999 to 2015, before moving back to India permanently. A’s basic pay is $520 and he is the sole breadwinner of his family. He had worked here for 16 months before having to fly back to India as his father suffered a heart attack and was admitted in ICU. The cause of the heart attack turned out to be the result of end stage kidney failure (ESRF). To support his father’s bills, ‘A’ has taken a loan from his boss and sold his home in India. He started an interim job in India before the onset of the second wave of COVID in India left him jobless and his family without income. His dad currently requires a fistula operation to initiate dialysis. We used the Standing Solidarity Fund to pay for the first urgent fistula operation, but it failed (complicated by an infection). His second fistula operation is scheduled in a month’s time. Scarce resources during India’s critical COVID-19 situation have also resulted in price inflation, where an ambulance ride from their home to the nearest hospital now costs SGD$100 (similar to Singapore). We are looking to fundraise $3000 for A’s dad to cover hospitalisation, a fistula operation, emergency dialysis, and outstanding debt and family needs. Due to the precarious state of his health and the current situation in India, this is an evolving need and we will provide updates where possible. In the event that A’s father succumbs to his illness, the funds will help ‘A’ settle last affairs and leave some provision for his family. | 6/6/2021 | (Tally: $3,000.44/$3,000) 20/5 Yanling - $10 20/5 Jeremy - $5 20/5 Jenn Champion - $20 20/5 Priscillia - $15 20/5 ascy - $19.57 20/5 ilyana - $50 20/5 Zee W - $50 (paynow) 20/5 Marsya - $20 20/5 Yanning - $15 (paynow) 20/5 Caitlyn - $15 20/5 Curiouslah - $50 21/5 Aqil - $50 21/5 Dayna - $2.57 21/5 Kate - $2.30 21/5 Chen Candice - $10 21/5 Carenlim - $100 21/5 Anonymous - $200 21/5 Aik - $150 21/5 Lynn - $8 21/5 Tvarita - $10 21/5 Junyelee - $20 21/5 Isabelcyc - $20 21/5 Melloace - $10 25/5 Chia Sie - $50 27/5 Tracey - $30 28/5 Dayan - $200 28/5 Maryam - $100 28/5 Fadzilah - $50 28/5 Lakshmy - $40 28/5 Zainab - $50 28/5 Aqilah - $50 31/5 Group for Aaron (via Mark and Estee) - $1578 | Jill (Telegram: @jellymould) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
30 | A02 | S | Fulfilled | 2/5/2021 | Funds | S is a 24 year old Bangladeshi worker who came to Singapore in 2015 after loaning $7,500 to pay in agent fees. He paid this loan back slowly over time and by the time he returned to Bangladesh, he was not able to save any money and had only paid back his loan for agent fees. In August 2019, he took another loan of $6,500 to pay in agent fees to come back to Singapore again due to the lack of job opportunities in Bangladesh. He is currently repaying this second loan through instalments from his monthly salary. Every month he sends $650 home to pay for these instalments and to support 7 people in his family in Bangladesh. S is requesting reprieve from his agent fee loan and wants to have a chance at finally saving money from his labour in Singapore. We are fundraising $3,000 to pay for his remaining loan amount, so he can be out of debt and continue supporting his family. | 30/6/2021 | (Tally: $3,544/$3,000) 11/5 Anonymous Zakat Contribution - $3,000 8/5 Neha - $10 6/5 Nasuha - $10 3/5 Indria - $30 3/5 Jiahan - $44 3/5 Dayna - $10 3/5 Asyraf - $50 2/5 Naila - $5 2/5 Sarimah - $150 2/5 Anatasha - $10 2/5 Katie - $50 2/5 M3 - $10 2/5 Su Hui - $20 2/5 Althea Low Lyn - $50 2/5 Ameera - $30 2/5 Minsoo - $15 2/5 Sarahc - $50 | Yanning (Telegram: @yanningt) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
31 | M07 | G | Fulfilled | 12/2/2021 | Funds | G first came to Singapore in 2014 and is currently working as a forklift operator. In May 2020 during circuit breaker, G experienced a severe toothache and informed the MOM officer in his dormitory about his pain. His toothache was so severe that despite the lockdown in dorms, they made an exception to provide emergency medical support and take him to the National Dental Centre (NDC). There he was diagnosed with severe decay and infection. The NDC performed an emergency pulpectomy to relieve him of his pain. However, NDC informed him that if root canal, post-core, and crown procedures were not conducted in a year’s time, his infection is likely to spread and his pain is likely to intensify causing irreparable damage to his teeth. After multiple negotiations, delays and intervention by MOM, his former employee paid for the emergency pulpectomy. However they have refused to pay for any further treatment. Subsequently, in December 2021, his Work Permit with the former employer expired and he had to find a new job in short notice. He started working with his current employer in January 2021 and his current employer has also refused to pay for the root canal. Based on the quote provided by NDC, G needs $2,400 to pay for his root canal, post-core, and crown procedures by no later than 1st week of May 2021. | 1/5/2021 | (Tally: $2,400 /$2,400) 29/4 C - $46 29/4 SC - $50 29/4 M3 - $10 29/4 Nic - $12 29/4 Aishani Sen - $450 29/4 Kai - $1 29/4 Jenn Champion - $20 29/4 Nursarah Binte Safari - $5 29/4 Ian Tham - $5 29/4 Mohamad Zaki Bin Jumahri - $100 29/4 Chan Yuet Ling Stefanie - $10 29/4 Eleanor Araliya Chen Ru Jing - $10 29/4 Mindi Saguda - $5 29/4 Jarratt Ong - $10 29/4 Nathaniel Mah - $20 29/4 Zhi - $50 29/4 Jill Tan - $40 29/4 Fengyun - $15 29/4 Jasper Teo - $20 29/4 Minsoo - $20 29/4 Alia Alkaff - $10 29/4 Jaye - $50 25/4 Meena - $10 22/4 Sarah Teves - $20 22/4 Jessica - $100 22/4 Seyoh - $20 22/4 Liu YH - $20 22/4 Bus - $10 21/4 Tan Shu-En - $20 21/4 Max Wu - $5 7/4 Mindy C - $50 7/4 Jacqueline - $50 2/4 Jennifer Kwan - $120 1/4 Additional funds from M02, via Athirah - $526 28/3 Tan Yanning - $30 28/3 Bartfeld - $75 26/3 Jessica - $80 25/3 Aisyah - $10 24/3 Syahirah - $10 21/3 Sera - $50 21/3 Abbas Bacha - $20 27/2 Amber - $50 26/2 Alia Alkaff - $20 26/2 Chrissie - $25 25/2 Shannon - $20 20/2 Amillie Chan - $10 19/2 Tvarita - $10 17/2 Cedric Choo - $50 17/2 Syaqilah Suhaimi - $5 17/2 Priscillia - $15 14/2 Jamie Tan - $10 | Cel (Telegram: @celinechsy) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
32 | M08 | C | Partial | 4/3/2021 | Funds | (22/4 Update) C has almost fully recovered from his hernia surgery and is back in good health. Unfortunately, he was not able to secure new employment before his visa expired so his previous company is required to send him back to Sri Lanka. He will be leaving the country this week and we have sent him the remaining amount raised to offset his hospital bill. C has informed us that he will be managing his own payments towards his hospital bill while he is in Sri Lanka and thus his case will be unlisted from our website & sheet until further notice. (23/3 Update) C has been working as a cleaner in local hospitals for the last 15 years, but his company cancelled his work pass in Aug 2020. Since then he has been unemployed and living off his savings, which have mostly run out as he is also supporting his family (wife, two school-going children, and elderly mother) back in Sri Lanka. Two months ago he was diagnosed with a hernia by a doctor at Healthserve and we recently accompanied him for a follow-up at Alexandra Hospital, where the consultant confirmed this diagnosis. A day-surgery has been scheduled for 26th March 2021, and the total cost is $6,000 (including a $500 deposit before proceeding with surgery). At the moment, C is not able to walk more than 100m without needing to lie down due to the groin pain. Because of his unemployment status, he is not able to claim this surgery fee from insurance. (4/3 Update) C has been working as a cleaner in a local hospital for the last 15 years but had his work pass cancelled in Aug 2020 without renewal. As a result he has been out of a job for the last 6 months. He was also diagnosed with hernia 2 months ago and has received a referral letter from Healthserve. At the moment we are looking to raise $600 by 5/3 so that C can pay his rent and return money that he borrowed to make last month's rent. We will share more information about his medical needs in the coming weeks. | 5/3/2021 (rent) 1/9/2021 (medical bill) | (Tally: $2066.2/$6,000) ($500 for deposit by 26/3) 22/4 - $566 transferred to C 1/4 - $449 transferred to C 25/3 - $1051 transferred to C 9/4 Sharon - $200 7/4 Mindy - $50 7/4 Jacqueline - $50 7/4 Thushy - $100 5/4 Riingen - $135.20 30/3 Elizabeth - $125 28/3 Elaine - $100 28/3 Bernshmern - $10 26/3 Lakshmi - $10 26/3 Mindisaguda - $10 26/3 Shamravee - $10 26/3 Rachael - $50 26/3 Jiahan - $120 26/3 Kimberly - $50 26/3 Ying - $15 26/3 LR - $10 25/3 Juliette - $30 25/3 Mabel - $20 25/3 Yeong - $10 25/3 D - $11.65 25/3 Katie - $50 25/3 Kristen - $59 25/3 Portia - $100 25/3 Rachel - $100 24/3 abbasbacha - $10 24/3 Sarahteves - $50 24/3 Afifah - $15 24/3 Faizah - $20 24/3 YXL - $0.35 24/3 Priscilla - $25 24/3 Ting - $30 24/3 Wendelyn - $100 24/3 Janna - $5 24/3 Nur Sabr - $10 24/3 AG - $50 24/3 Alia - $20 24/3 Cedric - $100 24/3 Anon - $50 24/3 Mindy - $50 24/3 E L - $5 24/3 Evaleen - $10 24/3 Eleanor - $70 24/3 Syifa - $10 24/3 Jolene - $10 (Tally: $665/$600) - Rent due 5/3 5/3 Hsiao Shan - $50 5/3 Ying - $5 5/3 Mindy - $50 5/3 Samyu - $20 4/3 Dierdre - $100 4/3 Caitlin - $30 4/3 Pho - $50 4/3 CS Joshi - $50 4/3 Nicole - $50 4/3 Marj - $100 4/3 Tvarita - $20 4/3 Sranj - $25 4/3 Ci Wei - $10 4/3 Sandhya - $10 4/3 M3 - $10 4/3 Vic - $30 4/3 Preethi - $10 4/3 Alf - $20 4/3 Janna - $5 4/3 U - $20 | Sarah (Telegram: @thisissasi) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||

He was diagnosed with multiple myeloma earlier this year when he had persistent vomiting, lower back pain & constipation. By the time R was diagnosed, his cancer had already metastasised to his bones, including his skull. (cont. next paragraph) His company insurance did not cover chemotherapy nor a bone marrow transplant. He was not able to afford treatment in Singapore and decided to go home to Bangladesh for treatment. He also had not met his 1.5 year old daughter who was born while he was in Singapore. Each chemotherapy injection in Bangladesh costs $250, so 6 months worth of treatment comes up to $12,000. His social workers in Singapore managed to raise $1000 before he flew home and he has recently completed his 8th chemotherapy session (2/6 months). To manage paying for his recent sessions he has been borrowing money from various people and is running out of money to repay and continue treatment. The curative treatment is a bone marrow transplant. Given that he has a large extended family, R has a good chance of finding a bone marrow match should he complete 6 months of this immunosuppressive therapy. | ASAP | (Tally: $8,526/$8,000) Additional $526 transferred to G's coordinator. 31/3 - $344 transferred 31/3 - $999 transferred 31/3 - $526 transferred to G 31/3 - $1,431 transferred 5/3 - $1,550 transferred 12/1 - $1,431 transferred 11/1 - $470 transferred 27/12 - $65 transferred 26/12 - $460 transferred 25/11 - $1,250 transferred ------------------------------------------------------ Contributions through Athirah: 31/3 - $526 transferred to (Cel) G's coordinator 31/3 - $1,431 transferred to R 29/3 MMA Booth Fundraiser - $1559 22/3 MMA Booth Fundraiser - $398 5/3 - $1,550 transferred to R 2/3 Aishani - $800 4/2 Roon's Fundraiser - $700 17/1 Mary - $50 11/1 - $470 transferred to R 10/1 Anonymous - $15 9/1 Brendon - $100 8/1 Fadzilah - $50 8/1 Olive - $100 5/1 LiHuing - $50 4/1 Jil - $100 3/1 Yu Teng - $15 26/12 - $460 transferred to R 13/12 TP ANF IG GRP - $100 8/12 Sam - $100 4/12 Sam - $200 30/11 Julia - $50 25/11 - $750 transferred to R 18/11 Chloe - $150 18/11 Chang-Ming -$70 18/11 Ling Qi - $250 18/11 Tash - $60 18/11 Fatimah - $20 18/11 Sha - $100 18/11 Mariyah - $10 18/11 Aisyah - $100 31/12 Neha - $40 Total: $5,187 ($5,187 transferred) ------------------------------------------------------ Contributions through Thea: 31/3 - $344 transferred 31/3 - $999 transferred 25/3 Aisyah - $10 24/3 Eleanor $55 24/3 Syahirah - $10 23/3 Rashiel - $50 22/3 Naimah - $200 17/3 Xiumei - $2 17/3 Faizah Zak - $20 16/3 Nic - $50 16/3 Cedric Choo - $100 15/3 Minnal - $10 10/3 Pho - $50 9/3 Jenn Champion - $20 9/3 Shannon - $10 9/3 Alia Alkaff - $10 8/3 Priscilla - $15 7/3 Ashley Xin Zhi - $100 7/3 Duang Fu - $10 27/2 Amber - $100 14/2 Paul - $200 3/2 Backtogroundzero fundraising - $322 12/1 - $1431 transferred to R 12/1 Thea - $1 11/1 Jill's Fundraising - $55 9/1 Sheryl - $20 9/1 Jill's Fundraising - $972 2/1 Shasha - $200 29/12 CY - $33 28/12 Rae - $100 27/12 - $65 transferred to R 27/12 Yen Teh - $50 25/11 - $500 transferred to R 21/11 Van - $30 20/11 Nur Qistina - $50 19/11 Angela - $15 19/11 Kavya - $100 19/11 Thea - $100 19/11 Qasdina - $200 18/11 Shi Yun - $70 Total: $3,339 ($3.339 transferred) | Athirah (Telegram: @srinurathirah) & Thea (@coelakanth) were coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||

Since his injury, he has not been drawing a salary and is unable to send money home (he is the sole breadwinner). Prior to his injury H was earning S$1,200 a month, which paid for all his family’s expenses back home including his mothers diabetes treatment. Since Oct 2020 his company only pays him S$300-400 a month for living expenses, of which half is spent on his food & essentials in Singapore. This means he can only send S$100-120 home, which is not enough to sustain his family of 5 in Bangladesh. (cont. next paragraph) On 6th Feb 2020 (2 months before Circuit Breaker), H fell off a ladder at work. Initially his company wanted to send him home without dealing with the injury but H resisted and so they took him to Tan Tock Seng Hospital. He had surgery on 7th Feb 2020, stayed in hospital for a week, and had a follow-up appointment scheduled on 7th April 2020. However CB started on 5th April and his employer did not allow H to leave the dorm for his appointment. When restrictions were lifted H returned to the doctor and was informed that his bone did not heal right and he required a second surgery which took place on 7th Oct 2020. H’s company refused to pay for this surgery and cancelled his work permit at the end of Oct 2020. It was only after H filed a successful claim for injury against his employer that they are covering the total hospital expenses under his insurance plan. | 04/01/21 | (Tally: $1060/$1,000) 3/3 Jill - 60 3/3 Samantha - 313 2/2 Alvin - 5 1/2 Hwee Min - 100 1/2 Nandini - 17 31/1 Cheryl - 10 31/1 Joy - 20 31/1 Devika - 25 30/1 Faizah - 50 30/1 Samatha -10 30/1 Jo - 5 30/1 Haz - 10 29/1 Des- 50 29/1 Jamie - 20 29/1 Bus -20 29/1 Shailey - 30 29/1 Tracey - 25 29/1 Liyana - 20 29/1 Lee ying - 50 29/1 Eelin - 20 29/1 Wei Jun - 75 28/1 Sam -100 28/1 Ewin- 25 | Ashley (Telegram: @cockbiscotti) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||

36 | M03 | M | Fulfilled | 01/12/20 | Funds | M came to Singapore in 2013 as a construction worker and has been working for his current employer since. In July 2020, while working with a hammer at the worksite, the hammer slipped and chipped part of his front tooth. He was wearing safety gear which included a helmet, but the helmet he was provided did not protect the jaw area. Immediately following the accident he didn’t feel much pain and there wasn’t any bleeding so he continued work. Later that night, however, the pain developed and it became intolerable after two days, which is when he informed his employer. (cont. next paragraph) M's employer refused to send him to the hospital as he claimed there was no evidence that M's injury was sustained in the course of his work. Given his financial situation M did not visit the doctor on his own and is still in need of dental treatment. The procedure to fix a broken tooth and conduct other oral checks costs approximately $1,000. He is asking for $800 to pay for part of the treatment. | 31/01/20 | (Tally: $800/$800) 24/12 - $500 transferred to M 31/12 - $300 transferred to M 31/12 - Michelle - $210 31/12 - Jill Tan - $80 11/12 Prasha - $10 7/12 Smiley Tee Fundraising - $200 6/12 Indrani - $300 | Soham (Telegram: Panner22) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
37 | M04 | L | Fulfilled | 25/11/20 | Funds | In Feb 2020, L slipped from a temporary staircase at a construction site and sustained a fracture to his hip. He was sent to a clinic affiliated with his employer after informing his supervisor about feeling pain in his hip. He was given medication and an MC for a day. When the pain didn’t subside after a few days, he visited Ng Teng Fong General Hospital and the doctor there identified that the medication he had been given initially was not only the wrong medication for his injury but also meant for someone else (reflected by the name on the label). His employer did not pay for the fees incurred at NTFGH. (cont. next paragraph) He was subsequently given a 4 day MC but while he was on MC, his employer cancelled his Work Permit. He filed a complaint against his employer and a claim for work injury compensation - the case is ongoing. Meanwhile he has seen an orthopedic who finally diagnosed the fracture and he has been undergoing physical therapy since. However, he has borne all these medical costs himself. Since his employer terminated his Work Permit he is currently on Special Pass, which prevents him from seeking other employment; with no income he has naturally incurred loans in Singapore for his day to day needs like food and is no position to incur further loans. While he was here, his mother in Bangladesh fractured her ankle and needs money for treatment. Prior to his work injury, L was the primary wage earner for his family. With L‘s unemployment, his family has been struggling financially and cannot support his mother's treatment. He asks for $1,200 to support himself here and to send money back home to provide for his mother's treatment. We have viewed and verified all supporting documents (his & his mother’s). | 11/12/20 | (Tally: $1200/$1200) 26/11 - $800 transferred to L 06/01 - $400 transferred to L 1/1 Ever - $220 31/1 Qin and Yuan Ling - $150 23/12 Saraniyah - $50 8/12 Smiley Tee Fundraising - $200 2/12 Qai - $10 26/11 Alex - $50 26/11 Gillian and Miku - $100 26/11 C - $50 26/11 Afiqah - $100 26/11 Manfred - $15 26/11 Chloe - $15 25/11 Joel - $100 25/11 Nadya - $50 25/11 Clara - $50 25/11 Leonie - $40 | Joel (Telegram: @joelckq) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
38 | A01 | V | Fulfilled | 10/11/20 | Funds | V has been unable to make enough money to support his family, live decently, and pay his agent fees which come up to $1,802. Work is often irregular, and his boss pays him late and incorrectly even when he does get to work. Over the last few months V has lost his mom and his two grandchildren, which has taken an immense toll on his mental health, over and above this debt. We would like to help him make this amount as soon as possible, both for his peace of mind and so he can continue to work in Singapore. | 24/11/20 | (Tally: $1,802/$1,802) 23/11 - $875 transferred to V 26/12 - $525 transferred to V 29/12 CY - $202 26/12 Alex Pandian - $200 10/12 Ashley - $50 08/12 Smiley Tees Fundraising - $250 25/11 Esther - $25 24/11 D - $200 21/11 Ethel - $30 20/11 Smiley Tee Fundraising - $200 19/11 Nisal - $50 19/11 Mu - $20 19/11 Qasdina - $200 18/11 Ash - $50 18/11 Hemaa - $15 17/11 Cheryl - $70 17/11 Georgina - $20 17/11 Mariyah - $10 16/11 Sera - $25 15/11 Clara - $50 14/11 Jess - $20 13/11 FSM - $50 13/11 Zee - $30 13/11 Kiera - $30 11/11 Joshua - $5 | Sarah (Telegram: @thisissasi) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||

He has not received his salary since Feb 2020 as he suffered from a serious work injury in late Jan 2020. While his employer provides food for S, he has been given food that is oily, unhealthy, and does not match his taste/cultural cuisine (click individual links to view). Because of this, he hasn't been able to eat properly in over a month. He has also undergone various surgeries in the past few months and this lack of access to proper food has hindered his recovery. | 19/11/20 | 07/01 Phone delivered to and received by S (Tally: $300/$300) 17/11 Gabbi - $20 17/11 Cheryl - $5 16/11 Shabbna - $100 16/11 Hengyeng - $30 16/11 Sera - $25 13/11 Zee - $30 13/11 Bing Xian - $10 13/11 Kiera - $30 12/11 RN - $50 | Cel (Telegram: @celinechsy) was coordinating. | ||||||||||||||||||
