TTSH Community Fund

Thanks to the generous support of our donors, our charity was able to disburse $163,610 through IWANTTOGOHOME (IWGH) Fund to support 242 needy patients for the first 5 months of 2024.

Patients who require financial assistance through this fund often struggle with out-of-pocket expenses for interim dialysis as they discharge from TTSH.

You can support our patients by making a donation to the Interim Dialysis For Needy Patients campaign, or by sharing this post with your friends.

Mr Tan* suffers from conditions affecting his spinal cord. Despite undergoing surgery, he still experiences numbness throughout his body, making it challenging to walk and perform daily tasks, such as taking care of his children.

Facing financial strain due to his inability to work, Mr Tan sought assistance from our Charity and received a 4-wheeled Personal Mobility Device (PMD). TTSH Community Fund also covers maintenance costs, including wheels and battery replacements. With the PMD, Mr Tan can now navigate his daily life and attend medical appointments at TTSH with greater ease.

Your contributions will support our programmes, helping us bring hope to many more individuals like Mr Tan. Learn more here: for.sg/support-ttshcf.
