EDIT: Dear readers, thank you for your support. Together, we managed to raise RM550 from my group alone for Hospis. This totally exceeded my expectations. Thank you to one and all.
Dear pa,
Happy 62nd birthday. Though I wish you were here so we can celebrate together, my fervent wish is for your soul to rest in peace and that you are happy by His side.
Since you are no longer here, I would like to do something more meaningful to mark this occasion.
Dear readers, when my dad fell ill, my family received a lot of support and care from this NGO called Hospis Malaysia
Hospis Malaysia is a charitable organization that offers professional palliative care to patients who are suffering from life-limiting diseases such as cancer. Hospis is NOT affiliated with any political, religious or govermental groups, and thus relies on public support for their funds.
When papa was sick, their doctors and nurses (who were very,VERY nice I must add) came to visit papa at home. When mama was concerned about papa’s any particular symptom, all we did was call Hospis, and they’d send a nurse or doctor over.
From time to time, their nurses would drop by to check on papa’s condition. They also provided counselling services, to the extent of offering to speak to my little sister’s school teacher!
They were also a blessing as they loaned their medical equipment for papa’s use at NO charge whatsoever. They lent us their Hospital Bed & Ripple Mattress, wheelchair, nebulizer, commode and oxygen concentrator. The wheelchair especially was such a great help.
At times like these where money speaks for everything, we are eternally grateful to Hospis for their help, care and concern with nary a request for a single sen.
Thus, dear readers, I urge you to support my effort on behalf of papa to simply donate by clicking your mouse on the link below, as DIGI would donate RM5 to Hospis for every click received. Do remember to click on the Hospis Malaysia Logo under the Health category.
How does it work?

- Click to donate to Hospis and DIGI will contribute RM5 of THEIR money, NOT YOURS to Hospis
- Each registered user is only allowed one click/vote for one charity
- To raise more funds for Hospis, do refer your friends via email or this blog link of mine to donate.
- You will see my group name as whimsical@HOSPIS appear
What could be a better way to donate? You dont have to fill in tedious forms, and heck, you don’t even have to fork out a single sen.
Bear in mind that I am NOT doing this as a paid advertisement. I do not get a single sen out of this. I am doing my wee bit for charity. And especially for all the help that Hospis has rendered for my late papa.
