ME BUY & DONATE CAMPAIGN 2016
RAISE
FUNDS FOR RUMAH CARING OLD FOLKS HOME
Follow Me, a brand under Tohtonku Sdn Bhd has launched
the Follow Me Buy & Donate Campaign 2016 that is
currently ongoing from 20 October 2016 until 30 November 2016 to help raise
funds for Rumah Caring Old Folks Home.
Located
in Kajang, Selangor, this non-profit old folks home, caters not only to
citizens aged between 50 years to 95 years, but it also shelters wheel chair
bound old folks who require special needs and attention.
According
to Wendy Yap, Founder of Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang, the home has been
grappling with the rising cost of operations and provisions in the last few
years. Apart from the daily basic household needs, nursing service and cost of health
supplies are also increasing.
“The
average cost of running the home is about RM14,000 a month. We are left feeling
helpless at times without financial aid. Therefore, we are really grateful to
receive donations from corporate and individual donors,” said founder, Wendy Yap.
Through this campaign, Follow Me hopes to raise funds
through the sale of any of its Follow Me products, where with every RM10 spent
on Follow Me products, RM1 will be donated to the Follow Me Buy & Donate
Campaign fund. The funding will be used to help fund the household expenditure
of the Rumah Caring Old Folks Home.
“We are indeed moved by the fact that despite of the
funding issues and uncertainties that looms over the shelter; this has never
been taken as an excuse to compromise on the love and care the old folks
deserve. As a well-established home grown brand in Malaysia, we feel compelled
to do our bit to contribute back to the society. I sincerely hope that this
campaign would garner support from the public and together we can help raise
funds to provide better nursing, health and logistic care to the old folks and
disabilities here in Rumah Caring Kajang,” said Jessky Hah, Product Manager of
Follow Me.
The public who would like to support this campaign can
head to any Tesco retail outlets in Malaysia to purchase their preferred Follow
Me products. Follow Me products ranged from haircare, skincare to body care.

About Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang Selangor
Persatuan Rumah Caring Kajang Selangor was
established in May 2004 by social worker Wendy Yap who has worked relentlessly
over the past 20 years to improve the lives of underprivileged persons in the
society. It is a non-profit organization looking into the welfare of the needy.
The association
currently runs Rumah Caring, an old folks home in Kajang where 28 senior
citizens spend their golden years, as well as a drug centre that has helped
more than 3,000 addicts over the years. Apart from that, it ministers to single
mothers and their children, helping them to be independent again through
financial and emotional support. It is also heartening to note that many of
these children have grown up to be high-flyers. Till date, about 100 families
of single parent are under its care.
Your support
is very much needed for the association to continue serving the community. We
look forward to your involvement in not only giving us financial assistance,
but also any donation in kind that you think may bring joy and solace to
persons under the association's care. We welcome you to visit the old folks or
bring the children out for short trips.
