Nicole Seah Instagram – Last weekend’s food distribution provided a noteworthy, if sombre perspective during this season where the cost of living is high. A few cents increase for a cup of kopi may be a slight complaint for some of us, but to someone in need, it could be a luxury to be given up completely. A resident whom we provided rations to said that the bag of rice was a welcome addition as it helped to offset his expenses. He is unable to work due to recurrent tremors in his dominant hand, which renders him unable to carry out work that requires extensive fine or gross motor skills, such as transporting goods or cleaning. In the course of our monthly food distribution, the WP East Coast team makes it a point to support mom and pop shops by purchasing our rations directly from them. This month, we were honoured to be aided by donor Ben Ng from Aquila Ascension Advisory , who had also roped in his family and friends for the distribution efforts. It was a joy to see their young children getting involved in the distribution, and throughout the course of our chats, they managed to also brainstorm some new ways of bringing a positive impact to our beneficiaries. With such inspiration and team effort, we look forward to doing more in the coming year!
