This period of Lent, SSVP Risen Christ collaborated with SSVP Holy Spirit to organise a Share A Hope project for FINs. We collated the wishes from FINs, and put them up on a padlet for parishioners of both parishes to donate towards those wishes. Wishes ranged from items such as fridges and beds to prayers, and accompaniment. We then arranged for the wishes to be fulfilled.
We would like to thank all donors who have helped fulfill the wishes of our FINs this period of Lent!

Our Vincentian Bro. Joseph Fernandez, helped to arrange for donations of new mattresses to two of our FINs. These mattresses were from an anonymous donor.
For many of our FINs, their mattresses are old, and have not been changed for a very long time. Some of them do not have mattresses, and have gotten used to sleeping on the floor. Some of them face bed bug issues too.
As Vincentians, we look into the needs of FINs and provide them with their necessities.
Bro. Joseph Fernandez and Sis. Jacqueline helped the Christmas Deco team with Christmas decorations in the Church. The COVID-19 pandemic doesn't stop us from our celebration of this festive occasion and mood!
This morning, Vincentians and some volunteers helped to distribute money and food donations from the food bank to our FINs.
These youths have been a great help before COVID-19, giving the FIN's children tuition. Although it stopped since then, we are looking to restart tuition activities via Zoom. Was a good catch-up to see how everyone is doing and progressing well with life!
This morning, Vincentians and some volunteers helped to distribute NTUC vouchers, chocolates, money, masks, hand sanitisers and food donations to our FINs.
Vincentians collected food donations from the Food Bank warehouse, to be distributed at the end of the month.
This morning, six Vincentians helped to distribute cash aid to about 12 FINs; these FINs do not have bank accounts. The rest of the FINs would have received their cash aid via bank transfer. Since the start of the circuit breaker, we have been gradually verifying and implementing bank transfer of the monthly aid to FINs.
The food donations from the food bank have been delayed as they did not receive enough donations.
We received the donation of some milk powder and distributed them to our FINs with young children.
This evening, we attended the funeral wake of a Friend-In-Need, who's father passed away in a short period of time after being diagnosed with a critical illness. We were fortunate to be able to borrow some books for the nightly prayer and prayed together with the family.
This afternoon, we collected 68 boxes of chocolate that was donated by The Cocoa Trees. Our Vincentian, Bro. Joseph Fernandez helped distribute them to our FINs.
Thank you Esther of The Cocoa Trees! (https://www.thecocoatrees.com/)
