Friends, it was my birthday yesterday and as many of you amazing people remembered and wished me, I have one more small ask 🙏
When we (my brother and I) were younger, my parents used to celebrate our birthdays by taking us to orphanages and other charitable organisations to make donations - food, stationery, money, etc. I still remember a few of those occasions and the smiles on the kids’ faces at receiving these small gifts 🎁
It is only now that I realise what a wonderful way it was to share our joy with others in our community. It also made us aware of a larger world where so many didn’t have the priviledges or often the basic amenities that we had 😔
So this birthday, I am donating to Babes, a Singapore-based organisation that provides teen mums with essential support and assistance during and after their pregnancy👏
Through case management and community integration, Babes offers teen mums the resources to make more informed choices about their pregnancy, eases young mothers back into a life of normalcy, and advocates for a more inclusive society that does not marginalise them. During COVID-19, Babes also provided formula milk and diapers to young mothers from low-income families through their Happy Stork Programme, to help them better cope with the impact of the pandemic 😷
I am also using this occasion to bring awareness to their work and fundraise for the Babes Discretionary Fund, which covers urgent essential expenses like medical consults, transport, mobile top-ups, etc while the girls connect with relevant agencies for financial assistance 💵
If you feel moved by this cause, I’d really appreciate it if you can donate to this fund and spread the word. No amount is too small 💕
