With no money and just a backpack, local content creator Kevin Wee is “going homeless” during the Christmas season.
From Dec 23 to 25, the 31-year-old behind social media channel Radical Kindness will walk barefoot around Singapore to raise $30,000 for special needs school MIJ Hub.
“I’ll bring no money, no food, just a bag, some clothes and rely solely on the kindness of strangers,” he declared in a video uploaded on Saturday (Dec 20).
Quipping that this fundraising effort “is my version of a holiday”, Wee revealed that he had once walked around half the country in 2021 on a similar premise, sans the charity bit.
He called it “one of the most profound” personal life experiences and explained that he wants to reshare the journey with viewers while campaigning for good.
Wee also elaborated that he has worked with non-profit organisation MIJ Hub in 2025 and witnessed how special needs children and young adults have benefitted from the programmes.
“Your funds will definitely be put to good use,” he added.
Wee starts his trek from the south of Singapore and has also promised “generous giveaways” at planned gatherings to be held at Marina Barrage on Dec 23 and at Yishun Park on Dec 24.
His campaign on crowdfunding platform Give Asia has raised over $400 as of press time.
Speaking to AsiaOne on Dec 23 as he sets off on the walk, Wee said he is confident of completing the trip around the island.
“I set an ambitious sum and will strive for it,” he stated, sharing that he has always wanted to promote and raise funds for social service agencies, non-profits and charities.
