Here at One (SG), we celebrate International Womenโs Day by honouring women any day, every day. We are an organisation run fully by volunteers and without them, we would not be able to carry out the work with do. From our hands-on executive committee, regular coordinators and interns, to our ad-hoc delivery friends, individual fundraisers and donors, we have helped thousands of individuals and families together.
One such generous soul is Mary Lim, one of our newest angel and champion to the cause. We were first introduced to Mary by her son, Michael and like any proud son, he shared the story of his beloved mum and her talent (and speed)for churning out bespoke beanies! A retired teacher and avid sportswoman, she learnt to knit from her grandmother even before she went to school. Although she retired from teaching at 80, Mary continues to stay active by playing lawn bowls, representing Singapore and winning numerous sporting awards.
When she found out about One (SG), she donated ALL her MaryCKnit beanies without hesitation and even offered to keep making more! Weโve raised $700 for our One Emergency Fund so far AND some of those beanies were donated to other beneficiaries who needed them. Hashtag double impact!
If youโd like to , please reach out to [email protected]. We are always looking for folks to fundraise on our behalf or volunteer with us!
And if youโd like to support us by buying a beanie, watch this space! Weโll be sharing the new drops shortly.
