Another needy family in Singapore receives home makeover with public help & support

Thanks to public support and donations, another underprivileged family in Singapore received a home makeover.

Back in May this year, Caleb and Rachael from renovation and construction company Smart Click Services started a Kickstarter project to help families in Singapore needing home improvement.

The first house belongs to Bobby, who has a physical disability and “severe hygiene issues.”

“He is all alone, and he has been going through a difficult time at work for the last two years. His income also dropped from S$1,100 to just S$400 per month, and he has no off days,” said Caleb.

In July, Bobby’s house was completely transformed into a home. Check out his story below.

The next house belongs to Cuiling and her family. She has a mild level of intellectual disability, diabetes and skin issues, while her father also has an intellectual disability.

Cuiling is the sole caregiver of the family, and they survive on her monthly income of S$300.

Here are some before photos of Cuiling’s residence.

A total of S$12,000 was needed to dispose of old furniture, install new flooring, change bathroom fixtures, and provide them with essential appliances like a fridge, washing machine and television.

In an update on August 15, Caleb said that the renovation project was officially completed. “We want to express our gratitude to all our donors, sponsor, and volunteers who made this happen,” said Caleb.
