While the Covid-19 outbreak has brought about inconvenience for all of us, the effects felt by vulnerable groups among our population is often more severe.
In a bid to raise funds for these segments of our population, Team Solidarity has organised a campaign urging Singaporeans to donate their $600 Solidarity Payment to those in need.
The campaign, named Solidarity Gift for SG Livelihoods Funds, hopes to raise $600,000 by 30 Jun 2020.
Organisers urge Singaporeans to donate their $600 Solidarity Payment towards the cause “to stand in solidarity with the vulnerable in our community”.
Funds will be channelled to the following groups:
Over $200,000 has been raised thus far over the past 2 weeks.
50 “community champions” have also pledged themselves for the cause, reaching out to their communities and raising funds for those severely affected by the outbreak.
The proceeds will be directed to Community Chest which will help distribute it to these organisations in equal amounts:
More information regarding the groups they’re assisting can be found here.
If you wish to help, you can also donate you via the crowdfunding initiative on giving.sg.
More than $21,000 has been raised through this channel at the time of writing and organisers hope to hit the $50,000 target by end-June.
If $600 is too much for you to donate, do not worry — all amounts are welcome, from as little as $15.
Kudos to Team Solidarity for all they are doing. We’re sure the timely funds will definitely help those hit hard by the Covid-19 outbreak.
We hope fellow Singaporeans will step up to provide assistance for these people in our community.
While the $600 payout may not mean much to many Singaporeans, they could go a long way to help families tide through this difficult time.
