Volunteerism
Your Helping Hand Means So Much More
Volunteer with Us and Touch Lives!
Most of our patients are the needy aged sick who have chronic illnesses like diabetes, hypertension, stroke and heart disease. They either live alone or have limited family support. We believe that the elderly should continue to be active in the community and age with dignity in their golden years. Our home nursing services serve to alleviate the burden of the caregivers as well as enhance the quality of life of the patient by extending long-term care with compassion and a listening ear. Most of our patients forge strong friendships with our nurses.
You can help us and our beneficiaries in the following ways:
- Outreach and Befriending
If you posses a great personality and would like to engage our caregivers who have to shoulder the burden of caring for their loved ones on a long-term basis, join our team of befrienders where you will be trained to understand the needs of the caregivers and their loved ones and be able to provide a listening ear as well as be an additional resource for them, thus enhancing the lives of our patients.
- Home Visits
Majority of our patients has difficulties sustaining their daily expenses and need assistance for their basic necessities. If you are passionate about helping our needy patients and their families in their daily living, join us in sponsoring and distributing food hampers to our needy patients as well as offer them your companionship and listening ear. This could bring much joy and cheer to our patients.
During the festive season, we would also like to invite you to spruce up and decorate homes of our patients so that they can also partake in the celebrations of the season.
- Fund-raising
Every year, we need to raise about $1.5 million to continue subsidizing home nursing services to many of our needy patients. A large number of them requires long term care due to chronic illnesses hence many of them need our assistance. If you can contribute by sponsoring our fund-raising events, this will directly benefit our patients.
