A Brave New Year
2025
As we step into the new year, we are filled with a mix of emotions — excitement, hope, and determination. For our patients and their families, this time is no different. They face significant healthcare challenges, yet they continue to strive courageously to improve their health and wellbeing.
To shed light on their journeys, we are launching the “A Brave New Year 2025” fundraising campaign. This campaign aims to raise awareness about the daily struggles and triumphs of individuals with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers. We are grateful to Nazri and his sister Mariyati for sharing their story, offering us a glimpse into their lives. Through their experiences, we witness not only the challenges but also the immense dedication, resilience, and courage required to navigate their daily lives. Through them, we witness profound struggles and sacrifices, but also remarkable strength and perseverance in many of these families. However arduous the journey, they soldier on, determined to live life as best as they can.
At IDHealth, we are committed to walking this path with them, providing essential healthcare services and support. Our holistic care model ensures that both caregivers and individuals with intellectual disabilities receive the attention and assistance they need to lead meaningful and joyful lives. Your generous support and donations will enable and empower them to live fulfilling lives.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Tote Board for supporting our campaign. Together, we can make a difference.
Giving to make hearts happy.
People with intellectual disability may not be able to fully comprehend complex and abstract concepts. However most can understand what it means to be happy. Smiles, clapping of hands and happy dances are all expressions of a happy heart. In simple terms, this is the work of IDHealth – to bring happiness to people with intellectual disability and their families. Poor health and unaddressed medical conditions cause pain and suffering to people with intellectual disability, made even more challenging for them due to their communication difficulties. Their ageing caregivers struggle not only with their own increasing health issues, but also with the medical conditions of their ageing adult child.
Your donation to IDHealth, therefore helps us to achieve the goal of healthy, happy and enabled families. Our service is highly subsidised. This is important as a significant proportion of the families we serve face financial challenges. A donation of $300 will support the cost of a doctor’s consult together with investigations and medications, while a $120 donation will cover the cost of a nursing intervention. Patients pay a tiny fraction of these costs. Every small amount contributes to enabling access to healthcare for our patients. Your donation will ensure that we can continue to keep our service affordable to all.
If you would like to give, you may do so here or you may contact us for more information. As an Institution of Public Character (IPC), all donations to us will be eligible for 250% tax-deduction.
We would like to say a special THANK YOU to the following individuals and organisations.
Your faith and belief in us and our work has strengthened and encouraged us greatly.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
“Happiness doesn't result from what we get, but what we give.”
