Guest Guesty Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Hi all, https://give.asia/movement/save_edwin_chen The patient – Edwin Chen Edwin Chen is a young man who due a series of unexpected symptoms starting with high fever and dizziness, was brought for to an emergency room for examination. Although he thought he is suffering from flu, he was diagnosed in Singapore General Hospital (SGH) with an Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) on July 11th 2016. The diagnosis was based on blood tests and verified by bone marrow aspirate evaluation. Edwin’s Medical Condition: The Acute Myeloid Leukemia is a type of blood cancer that if left untreated, it will leave Edwin with 6 months to live. The common treatment for AML is a combinatory chemotherapy that reduces the number of fast-growing cancerous cells. Due the fact that the chemotherapy decreases the white blood cells, the immune system of patients is affected as well. This requires a stay under rather sterile conditions in an isolation room. Edwin was admitted to the Hematology department of SGH immediately after his diagnosis was made and will stay warded in isolation until he has completed at least 5 cycles of a chemotherapy treatment. The chemotherapy treatment requires regular blood test controls as well bone marrow aspirate evaluations. Edwin’s Financial Situation: Edwin had just started his new employment and worked at the new working place for less than 3 weeks. Due to short employment years that are counted into the Medisave account, he accumulated only 800 SGD in total. Unfortunately, Edwin cannot support himself fully with a medical insurance or low savings. Edwin’s Hobbies: Edwin enjoys water sports during the weekends and regularly visits gym after office hours. In his spare time, he happily indulges in TV drama series and movies just like any other person. Edwin’s Family: Edwin's parents are both in their late 50s. Edwin’s father is currently self-employed and the sole breadwinner of the household juggling between daily family expenses, HDB loan, insurance, and the study loans of Edwin's 2nd sister. Edwin’s mother had recently gone on temporary unpaid leave to take care of Edwin's daily needs at the hospital. Edwin’s Need to Support: Edwin is in a great need to raise SGD 25,000 to lighten the load of his total hospitalisation bill by the end of December 2016 (estimated SGD 50,000 for 5 cycles of chemotherapy including the hospitalisation fees). Hence, your help and support are very much needed and any amount is greatly appreciated. For more information and/or verification of the situation, kindly email to dearestedwin@gmail.com. Please note: Rayki IsHere is only the Campaign Manager and will have no access to the raised funds or other sensitive information. All funds raised are wired to Edwin Chen's Personal Bank Account VIA https://stripe.com/sg.

Salt&Pepper Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 (edited) Someone once told me this story: A guy was walking on a beach and saw another man picking up starfishes on the sand and throwing them as far back as possible into the sea. He looked around and realized there were uncountable starfishes stranded on the beach on that low tide. He walked towards the man and told him that his effort was futile and didn't matter as he couldn't possibly save all the starfishes stranded on the beach from dying before the tide came back in. The man just shrugged his shoulders and said "It mattered to those I managed to throw back into the sea..." The guy joined him in picking up as many as they could and threw them back into the sea. Please do help. Every bit no matter how small helps! Edited August 30, 2016 by Salt&Pepper KENZ, Phil and Ironrod 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please do help. Every bit no matter how small helps! reminds me of how I always pick up snails which are crawling the pavements, and putting them on the side of the grass patch that they are heading towards, just so that they don't get crushed by human traffic on the pavement. This seems to be a habit I have been doing since I was young. I invite a lot of stares each time I pick up those "dirty" creatures, but those stares don't keep my conscience up awake at night, but the sound of crushing snails at my feet does.

Even a dollar from you will be a great help. Stop making remarks like this in future. Unfortunate situations are everywhere, and nobody deserved to be place in such situation. If you are not going to give a cent, just STFU and stop being an attention seeker with your weak philosophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Talk to me only when he de Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 I saw him at block 7 back then. He was lively compared to the rest. Frankly I won't help him at all. Others have truly die or in worse shape than him if the truth is to be told. How come no one raise a eyebrow when the uncle who occupied his bed before him was admitted in had pass away? What made this case so special? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Ask pap ministers to help instead. Why must I help? And how many can I help everytime I came across something like this? His case is not unique at all. Majority of the people who were warded into hospital eventually run into financial and life hardships just like him too. Also his parents are in their late 50s,ideally they should be retired by now but they both still have to paid off the house mortage after such a long time and have to continue to support their fully grown children education expenses. My fault? Policies faults. Ask the loyalists and the sinfully rich self wage appointed whites to help them instead. In sg if a patient have insufficient money to pay the hospital the hospital will go to their next of kins meditate accounts to settle the debts instead. If they are broke they can go apply for medifund too. Why must his problem become my and everyone trouble instead? Just because they don't want their own cpf accounts to become empty so they turn to the public is it? Is it fair to me and the public you ask yourself? That illness is your own cross to bear so use your own money to treathe it yourself. My money is for my own rainy days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gc0805 Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 back to topic, any update on current shortfall? in a busy robotic society like sg, it's good to pause for a second to show some compassion, whether or not u think it's a sufficiently deserving cause. by giving a little material wealth, u gain a lot more humanity. i would definitely give again if there's a need. every bit helps, guys. iamziz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But frankly, I suspect this amount might be good only for his immediate hospital bills, and not for his subsequent follow up bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
