My Story
About the Cause
Goal: Provide youths from low-income families with travel concession.
In Care Corner's work with school-going youths, they realise many of them face various financial constraints, including insufficient transport money. This impacts their school attendance, participation in community programmes and ability to fulfil daily errands. A monthly transport concession pass will resolve their transport constraints, lighten their families' financial burden and help fulfil their potential.
Just by increasing transportation accessibility, we can promote their social mobility towards resources that empower their personal development.
Meet Eddie*
Eddie (16) was on Care Corner Youth Services’ school soccer programme. After his parents divorced, Eddie’s split living arrangement had him shuttle between two homes during the week. On one occasion, he turned up late for soccer. Due to insufficient money in his EZ-link card, he made a detour to a relative’s home to borrow some coins to make it for the session. To return home, he approached Care Corner quietly to borrow some coins. Youths like Eddie often need to borrow money to commute or scrimp on their allowance. Struggling to commute to school, enrichment programmes or leisure activities impact their morale and growth.
You can help sponsor travel concession passes for youths like Eddie. Join us in 'Going the Distance, To Enable Youths to Go the Distance".
