About Event

Judy is a 29 year old Singaporean, living with her parents and younger sister. The family suffered a crisis recently when her father, Mr Teo had a stroke and suffered a blood clot in his brain. Mr Teo spent a few days in the intensive care unit, and has been discharged form hospital, and is currently undergoing physiotherapy so that he can walk again. However, Mr Teo is also a dialysis patient, suffering from diabetes, high blood pressure and kidney failure, and he will be unable to return to work - he was previously working as a part time drive to support himself.

Judy is sole breadwinner, and brings home about S$1,599 a month. Her salary also pays for medical bills for her mother who is a diabetic patient. Judy has exhausted all her savings and her current salary is not enough to sustain the family on a daily basis. Her plan is to get interim financial aid so that the family can get back on their feet - as her father gets better and can walk again, so that he can get to dialysis safely on his own, and when Judy's younger sister graduates from school and can find a full-time job to contribute financially to the family's household bills and utilities.

ROHI is helping raise S$650 a month for the next 6 months, so that Judy can help pay for her father's dialysis and grocery bills for the family until her sister graduates and can help the family financially.
