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
