TTSH Community Fund

This October, Tan Tock Seng Hospital Rheumatology, Allergy, and Immunology (RAI) Department is undertaking an extraordinary challenge! Beyond their daily responsibilities, they aim to collectively cover 180km to support our Charity. Having already achieved 113.4km, they are gearing up for a grand finale - a united walk on 31 Oct to conclude their remarkable journey. We invite you to support their incredible efforts at for.sg/ttsh-rai. Your contributions will go towards our General Fund, which helps our low income patients, support healthcare research, innovation, and training to improve patient care. Join us in making a difference!

Deepavali, also known as the Festival of Light, is a time for sharing, giving, and reflecting on the importance of empathy. It’s a season that reminds us to extend a helping hand to those in need. For years, our charity has supported low-income patients who struggle with out-of-pocket expenses after their discharge. Touched by the kindness of donors, some of them have stepped forward to share their stories of gratitude and resilience. This Deepavali, be inspired and learn how you can light up someone's life: https://lnkd.in/g5SjZdCG Show kindness by supporting our Festive Giving Campaign: https://lnkd.in/gHnWAAse

As the festive season approaches, join us in spreading joy and making a meaningful impact on the lives of needy patients through our Festive Giving campaign. Donations will directly support patients in need, bringing them hope and essential care! Together, we can create a brighter, more inclusive community for all. Donate today via https://lnkd.in/gHnWAAse Proceeds from this campaign will go towards our General Fund, which supports our low income patients, as well as healthcare research, innovation, and training for our staff and the community to deliver better patient care.

Besides pain and discomfort, patients nearing the end of life often face anxiety and depression. Through our Programme of All Inclusive Care for the Terminally Ill (PACT), our therapists help to alleviate patients' pain, reduce stress, and ease anxiety. Patients are engaged in meaningful activities such as painting, with their artwork gifted to loved ones. This helps them connect meaningfully and share lasting memories with their families. By fostering ‘continuing bonds’ through art and music, we support both patients and their families during this challenging time. The Art for Hearts campaign, organised by TTSH’s Department of Palliative Medicine, raises funds to support terminally ill patients, providing interim funding for home and community care expenses after they discharge from the hospital.

As we celebrate TTSH's 180th anniversary this year, we are grateful to our colleagues from Rehab, TTSH Allied Health Division for leading a meaningful campaign with our senior patients.   Together, they created beautiful handcrafted cards, given as tokens of appreciation for our donors.   Through this initiative, over $5,000 was raised in just over one month! Donors also had the opportunity to receive handmade cards directly from the patients they supported.   A big thank you to our therapists, senior patients, and all the donors who made this initiative a success!

Last Friday at TTSH, we had the privilege of hosting a cheque presentation session with TADA Singapore, who generously donated $15,000 to support our IWanttoGoHome (IWGH) Fund. TADA has organised a Charity Walkathon with their drivers, and the fund raised will support TTSH needy patients with transport assistance. We want to express our heartfelt thanks to TADA for their fundraising efforts. And we encourage more local companies to partner with us.
