Create Magic With Me

Do you believe in Magic? I do. But not the Harry Potter or David Copperfield kind of magic. I believe in the magic of human kindness.
Magic is about making a seemingly impossible task possible, magic is about wow-ing everyone watching and magic creates hope. Now, I am going to invite all of you to be real life magicians by doing all of the above.
The Magical Project:
Fundraising for Lee Ah Mooi Old Age Home (LAMH).
Background:
LAMH is expanding it's nursing home care to it's 2nd home in Silat Avenue. The home needs $2.6M funds to renovate wards, install lifts to aid residents' mobility, build a garden and create a conducive environment where pioneers can age with dignity and respect.
Why Help Lee Ah Mooi?
Lee Ah Mooi Old Aged Home is a family run nursing home that does not receive any subsidies from the government and unlike other profit-driven nursing home, LAMH's mission is to provide quality nursing care at affordable price. Over the years, they have relied on generous public donations to keep the operations going and absorb increasing operating costs without compromising the quality of nursing care or increasing fees for the residents.
The Home epitomises the true spirit of giving, as cemented through the legacy of the late Mdm Lee Ah Mooi, who started bringing abandoned Samsui women and Ma Jies to her home to care for them. They are also very welcoming of volunteers to host charity events at the Home.
How can we help?
The current crowdsourcing campaign stands at $19k, which is less than 1% of the intended target. Let's give within our means to help them get momentum going for this project. If you can only spare $1 or $2, it is also good enough because a million of us donating $1 is one million dollars.

If you can't donate due to tight finance, then help to create more awareness for this project by sharing this post. You may just share it with someone who wants to donate so never underestimate the power of share, especially in today's increasingly connected world.
If you don't wish to share on your wall, you can leave a comment or #supportlamh because every comment you leave is seen as an engagement by Facebook, which will bump this post up in the group and has more chance to appear on our member's wall.
Everyone can help play a part in supporting this project in the simplest of ways. I assure you that the magic will appear when the donation figures started increasing, achieved through our collective efforts in creating awareness.
We all will grow old someday and become reliant on other's help, isn't it nice that we give some kindness while we are blessed with good health? Isn't it wonderful that we can do something nice for someone who probably won't find out or has a chance to repay us? When the renovation works are completed, you and I will own a part of the Home.
Thank you for your love and kindness !
PS: As LAMH's kitchen will be closed for a year due to renovation, they need sponsors for meals and snacks like biscuit and milo for tea breaks. If anyone is willing to sponsor or know of sponsors, pls sound out! Home bakers are welcome too, cheers
