Families in need of assistance

Madam Thilagarani D/O Ayayu

The story of Madam Thilaga's family shows how SINDA's support can make a crucial difference. From transport for treatments to daily essentials, SINDA helped them navigate challenging times.

Thrice-weekly kidney dialysis is just one of Mdm Thilaga’s challenges. She raises her 11-year-old daughter Sakthii with her husband who, like her, is unable to work due to his medical condition. Until 2022, she was also the primary caregiver of her late mother-in-law. SINDA’s Family Service Centre, supported by Community Chest, helps Mdm Thilaga cope with her challenges through counselling sessions and suitable job placements.

SINDA also assists with her transport to treatments, the family’s daily essentials and Sakthii’s educational needs. With the support, Mdm Thilaga and her husband have been able to remain positive and maintain a supportive and nurturing environment for their daughter.

Mdm Tang continues to share the challenges she faces with her social worker from AWWA FSC and turns to him for a listening ear. She is working towards securing stable employment and to be financially stable in the long term.
