Since The MileLion started in 2015, I\u2019ve had a little tradition of supporting a charity each year with a portion of the website\u2019s earnings.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s been even more inspiring is the way the miles community has come out in support of these campaigns, and together we\u2019ve raised nearly S$220,000 <\/strong>to date!<\/p>\n With Christmas just around the corner, it\u2019s time to unveil this year\u2019s fundraiser:<\/a> Foster Good.\u00a0<\/strong>This aims to\u00a0raise S$75,000 <\/strong>in support of Home for Good, <\/strong>a charity which supports\u00a0foster children and parents in Singapore.<\/p>\n I shouldn\u2019t know the name Megan Khung<\/a>, and in all likelihood, neither should you.<\/p>\n Because if not for a series of spectacular, yet mundane failures<\/a>, Megan would be just another 10-year old girl today, and not a burned corpse in a barrel following months of beatings, starvation, and emotional abuse.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be honest. I haven\u2019t read the MSF\u2019s report<\/a> beyond the executive summary, nor do I think I could. Even the news reports are difficult to stomach. As a father to a young daughter around Megan\u2019s age, I cannot begin to imagine the kind of pain, fear and loneliness that she must have felt in the months leading up to her death.<\/p>\n As this tragic case illustrates, not every child has a safe home to live in. While most children go to bed each night with the love and comfort of family around them, others face abuse, neglect or abandonment. For these children, fostering provides a temporary, safe and stable environment for them to live in. More than 600 children live in foster care today, with a roughly equal number in residential and youth homes.\u00a0<\/p>\n Home for Good<\/strong> is a registered charity and IPC committed to supporting and advocating for foster families and vulnerable children in Singapore. Together with the Ministry of Social and Family Development and Child Protection Specialist Centres, they find foster families for children, and identify respite carers for temporary care.<\/p>\n Home for Good, Singapore (HFG-SG)<\/strong>\u00a0is a registered charity and Institution of a Public Character (IPC) committed to supporting foster families and advocating for vulnerable children in Singapore. Founded in 2013 by four Christian foster parents, HFG-SG began as an informal network built on the shared belief that every child deserves to grow up in a safe, loving, and stable home. <\/span><\/p>\n On 28 February 2023, we officially became a registered charity, formalising our mission to serve as a trusted support network for foster parents and a voice for children in need. Over the years, our community has grown to provide practical support, encouragement, and resources to foster families across all races and religions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n What We Do<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Support Foster Families<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We offer resources, peer support, and a sense of community to help foster parents thrive in their caregiving journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n Recruit and Inspire<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We raise awareness and encourage more individuals and families to consider fostering.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Advocate for Change<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 We work toward a stronger, more compassionate foster care system through collaboration with government agencies, churches, religious organisations, businesses, and other community partners.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Together, we are working toward a future where every child finds a home where they are loved and known.<\/span><\/p>\n Home for Good, Singapore Ltd.
