In this crowdfunding campaign, we shine light on the courage and determination of persons with intellectual disabilities (PWIDs). “Together, We Thrive” tells the story of G, a woman in her 40s with mild intellectual disability, whose life took a sudden turn when her mother, also her main caregiver, was diagnosed with dementia and moved into a nursing home.
Alone for the first time, G was determined to live independently in her own home. She faced daily challenges like managing money, preparing meals, and navigating her neighbourhood. That’s when IDHealth stepped in, providing healthcare support and rallying volunteers to coach her in essential life skills. These volunteers became her mentors, guides, and friends.
Support extended beyond her home. Hawker stall owners and shopkeepers in her community now facilitate her purchases and check in on her, forming an inclusive network of care. Gladys’s story is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when a community comes together.
At IDHealth, we currently support over 300 families and 600 caregivers, and the number continues to grow. Our mission is to be the primary healthcare provider for PWIDs, ensuring continuity of care even when caregivers face challenges or are no longer around.
Together, We Thrive is more than a campaign, it’s a movement to help PWIDs live with dignity, independence, and joy. With your support, we can continue building ecosystems of care that last a lifetime.
Thanks to Tote Board’s matching grant, every dollar you donate will be partially matched. You can contribute via cash, cheque, e-payment, or digital platforms like Giving.sg. Let’s make a lasting impact, one life at a time.
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.”
