The Heroic Spirit of Caregivers – By Board Member Sylvia Lim
This message was contributed by Board Member Sylvia Lim
Dear CaringSG members,
“I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.” – Maya Angelou
In my eyes, this quote encapsulates the heroic spirit that caregivers embody every day. What they do may go unnoticed but takes incredible strength, resilience, and compassion.
CaringSG is set up with the overarching objective to support, enable and empower caregivers of special needs in our community. At times when these caregivers feel like no one else understands what they are going through, they can draw strength from this community, knowing that they are not alone in this journey. They can lean in for support, share resources, exchange ideas and uplift one another.
In the words of Helen Keller, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.”
By coming together, we at CaringSG hope to pave the way towards a more inclusive community for the special needs and their caregivers. To continually encourage and inspire caregivers because they are so pivotal to making the world a better place for those who need care and whom they care for.
