Tan Weide is the son of Assisi’s former patient, 64 year-old Mr Tan Leng Cheok. Mr Tan Leng Cheok had liver cancer. His condition deteriorated and was hospitalised in July last year. Weide witnessed the change in his father after he came under the care of Assisi Hospice’s Day Care service.
As the Catholics in Singapore celebrate Catholic200SG this year, we invited them to live out the meaning of Lent at Assisi and join us to carry on our Mission of serving those in need by journeying with our patients and their loved ones. During the period of Lent in March and April, over 100 of them took part through offering their helping hand by volunteering, offering their wallet through donations, and offering their voice by increasing awareness of palliative care through their social media platforms.
The E-Edition of Assisi Fun Day will be back from 7-17 Oct this year! Supporters will be able to shop for yummy food and interesting products online and do good and have fun at the same time. If you are running F&B/retail businesses or providing consumer services, you can help by setting up a virtual stall at our E-Fun Day and sponsoring your products and services. If you are not a business owner but would still like to do your part for charity, you can also sponsor a stall. Funds raised will be used to provide comfort and care to our patients and their caregivers.
Contact Sue-Ann for more information regarding stall partnership
