What they want runs the gamut from diapers and milk to a 32 inch flatscreen digital television and even hair rebonding. While some of these might sound frivolous, the Eastern Health Alliance (EHA) aims to fulfil the wishes of its needy patients as this will go a long way to improving their quality of life.
"Our beneficiaries' wishes aren't luxurious items," said Mr T.K. Udiaram, chief executive officer of EHA, which includes Changi General Hospital (CGH) and the Salvation Army's Peacehaven Nursing Home. The items are among the things wished for by the more than 70 people who have hung their wishes on EHA's wishing tree placed in the central atrium of CGH.
The EHA hopes to raise about $50,000 to fulfil wishes for about 200 people. Donations made to "Changi Health Fund Ltd" are tax exempt. To find out more, go to: www.easternhealth.sg/Pages/sg50-adopt-a-wish.aspx
Thoughts:
- I personally prefer it when I know the amount that I have been donating to is to meet what kinds of needs for the beneficiaries. Sometimes, charities or voluntary welfare organizations have a donation page but does not elaborate further how the money can help their beneficiaries. Donors are discerning as well and provision of more information helps to make your call for action more cause-worthy.
Thoughts anyone?
Yours,
Something Small Thinking Big
