Background: Madam S is a resilient single mother who is currently managing multiple chronic conditions — hypertension, Type II diabetes, and chronic kidney disease (CKD) requiring dialysis three times a week. Despite her health challenges, she continues to support her children, ensuring their daily needs are met and that they remain under stable care. Current Situation: Madam S works 2 to 4 days a week, on alternating day (9 a.m. – 9 p.m.) and night (9 p.m. – 9 a.m.) shifts, to provide for her family. Her irregular working hours and ongoing dialysis treatments significantly limit her income and physical stamina. She has no regular partner support and relies mainly on her own effort, with occasional help from friends and relatives who assist in caring for her children during her dialysis sessions and work shifts. Need: A blood glucose monitoring machine would greatly support Madam S in managing her diabetes more effectively between dialysis sessions. Currently, she does not have a reliable way to monitor her blood sugar levels at home, which puts her at higher risk for hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic episodes. Intended Outcome: With access to a blood glucose monitor and test strips, Madam S will be able to: • Track her blood sugar levels regularly and adjust her diet or medication accordingly. • Better manage her condition, reducing complications and hospital admissions. • Maintain stability for her children through improved health and fewer medical disruptions. Request: We seek support to provide: • One (1) blood glucose monitoring device • Lancets and test strips (minimum 6 months’ supply) • Alcohol wipes Closing Statement: Madam S exemplifies quiet strength and determination in the face of chronic illness and caregiving responsibilities. Your contribution will not only meet an immediate medical need but also affirm her effort to remain a caring and self-reliant mother despite the challenges she faces.

Client is a low-income senior and a full-time caregiver to other older seniors. She is experiencing health deterioration, which causes low appetite and low energy. She would greatly benefit from receiving at least a carton of liquid supplement - Nestle Resource (Fruit Orange) - to ensure she receives adequate nutrients daily.

Patient, aged 80, is married with 2 children. Both patient and spouse have retired, and both daughters are of low income. Patient requires wound products for her sacral sore, and as she is under Long-Term Visit Pass, the medical treatment and care expenses are high as she is not eligible for subsidies. Thus, she will benefit from donated wound products: wound dressing, inadine, mesalt, and gamgee.

The family is from a low-income background and has six dependents. They have faced multiple medical crises this year, which have further reduced their household income. The family also cares for an elderly member who requires adult diapers. A donation of adult diapers would help ease their financial burden and support the family in meeting their caregiving needs.

Client lives in a 2-room rental flat alone, with limited family support. She has multiple chronic conditions, which render her unfit for work at this juncture. Due to her lack of employment and inadequate financial resources, client is unable to afford a blood pressure meter of her own. She thus continues to have poorly controlled blood pressure levels.
