Background

Mdm Kam Yoke Ling is 82 years old and lives with her five other elderly siblings in a 4-room flat. Her eldest sister, who is 84 years old, is her main caretaker. Her youngest sibling, who is 78 years old, has chronic kidney disease and is permanently admitted to a hospital. Mdm Kam suffers from heart disease, hypertension and high cholesterol. She had a stroke more than 20 years ago, resulting in the left side of her body being paralysed. She is also prone to falls and is dependent on a wheelchair.

Social Isolation

Mdm Kam attends day care every day and she is engaged with various activities. This has reduced her social isolation and keeps her meaningfully engaged. Her eldest sister who is her main caregiver is now less stressed as she has some time to rest during the day when Mdm Kam attends day care.

Financial breakdown

Ray of Hope would like to raise S$2,400 (S$100 x 24 months) to defray Mdm Kam Yoke Ling’s day care fees for 2 years.

* Mdm Kam and her siblings are receiving government financial assistance.
