An Unbreakable Bond
In this crowdfunding campaign, we aim to highlight the unwavering dedication and resilience of a family in overcoming caregiving challenges and supporting each other through thick and thin. “An Unbreakable Bond” tells the story of a mother who cares for her family members with intellectual disabilities, and her daughter who steps in to help, showcasing their collective strength in facing both household and community challenges.
Despite the immense difficulties they face, this family exemplifies the power of love and determination. Their journey is a testament to the strength found in familial bonds and the incredible courage required to navigate daily life with intellectual disabilities.
At IDHealth, we are committed to supporting families like theirs, providing essential healthcare services and holistic care. Our goal is to empower individuals with intellectual disabilities and their caregivers to lead meaningful and joyful lives. Your generous support and donations will enable us to continue offering the assistance and care they need.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Tote Board for supporting our campaign with a matching grant. Together, we can make a difference and ensure that families like this receive the support they deserve.

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.”
