		<description>we are Singaporean family with kids, would like to tell our story out here no doubt it can be shameful for us. this is very disturbing to read.
the cost of living have gone really high and the government just keep going.
CDC and all welfare for Singaporeans have never help us instead being told to resolve our food and finance problem ourselves no doubt we are asking for just a short term help for our child.
we have alot of to speak up but free speech never exist in Singapore.
we have left with no single money and running up and down Singapore welfare organizations and nothing been done. &lt;strong&gt;not even a mercy on us or even our child and they take no interest in helping either&lt;/strong&gt;.
&lt;strong&gt;sitting at home with a last piece of meal with tears roll down our eyes..with lose all hope. i as a wife sell off my body to anyone just to get money to feed my child and family.&lt;/strong&gt; :(
i&#039;m so sad and depressed that this had to happen to me despite begging around all government agencies for help what.
i can&#039;t carry on writing as my sadness and this will be remembered for life as a Singaporean.

		<description>to all Singaporeans who read this. i have seen with my own eyes that this family went to all the cdc and all the so call themselves welfare and helping Singaporeans full of lie!!
they will ask for donations after donation saying that they need to help to poor.
where is it???!! when a suffering  family with not a penny left struggles with a child goes to them with a simple request as for the milk and some food voucher for the child to survive while working very hard to follow up the high standard of living and costing.
&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;this is what they say. sorry we can help you,we will investigate this matter and feedback to you in 4 to 5 weeks time, that&#039;s all and they went vanish for a month and come back with the same word. &#039;&#039;&#039; after a closer look into your problem we can help as you still working. about your child you got to find your own ways to resolve your matter.
this is very sad for us singaporeans that lie after lie winning the vote and support and here we stand with them enjoying billions loses and having a good time while can&#039;t even give a simple food voucher???!! everytime they come out with &#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;we got system we must inform manager we must inform director and blah blah blah their way out to escape and ditch us aside!!!!</description>

		<description>How would one get in touch with Evercare - or other similar small volunteer organizations that require assistance?  These are the ones that do real good on the ground, without layers of unnecessary bureaucracy and costs and ironically need the most help to become sustainable...

Last year, I called up an established charity organisation that purported to provide ration distribution to the needy in Singapore - only to be told they didn&#039;t want to bother with the hassle of individual donations to individual families, and would rather a corporation or school &#039;adopted&#039; a batch of families... that left me pretty cold about the motives of the individuals behind that particular organisation...</description>
