In tandem with the New Year celebration and festivities, Eurokars Group has donated a transporter that has been modified for wheelchair access to the Singapore Red Cross (SRC), which will benefit the TransportAid programme.
TransportAid is a vital service that provides transport for the low-income elderly and disabled to enable them to travel to their healthcare service providers and day activity centres, and have access to essential and critical medical treatments, rehabilitation and therapy.
"By supporting the SRC with our donation of a transporter, we are able to help those in need to access vital and life-sustaining care and treatment. Over the past seven decades, the SRC has established itself as a distinctive homegrown humanitarian organisation that provides relief and assistance to survivors of disasters, rallies blood donors to save lives, trains the community in first aid and supports vulnerable citizens with emergency social services, among others. Eurokars Group is delighted to be able to contribute towards the SRC in achieving its mandate and laudable mission of relieving human suffering, protecting human lives and dignity and responding to emergencies," said Ms. Ong Lay Ling, the Group Managing Director of Eurokars Group.
"As we embark on the new year with a positive outlook and sense of hope and optimism for the future which lies ahead, let us also spare a thought for the less fortunate by enhancing their lives in measurable ways and helping to spread some cheer," she added.
"We are thankful for our ongoing partnership with Eurokars Group. The support from Eurokars will enable us to provide greater support for the vulnerable in our community, especially as our population ages in the coming years. The donation of this transporter will make a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of low-income elderly and disabled clients by allowing us to ensure that they are able to keep their medical and therapy appointments," said Mr. Benjamin William, Secretary General & CEO, Singapore Red Cross.
