A nine year old patient meeting Aspac volunteers for the first time. His mum (in yellow t-shirt is observing the interaction). The volunteers will take turns to visit the child at home and help him with art and his transformer toys. At the end of this first visit, he was reluctant to let them go!

Aspac volunteers Maggie and Christine playing mahjong with an elderly patient in her own home. Our volunteers bring cheer by spending time together with the patients. They are willing to read, play games, sing along or just chat... whatever it takes to keep our patients happy. Thank you Aspac volunteers!

No words can measure the gratitude we feel towards this wonderful ASPAC team, both doctors and nurses for their dedication and compassion showed towards the end of my father's life recently. We were at lost as how to deal with dad's pain and there came these wonderful team to help us and make the last vestiges of his life pain-free and allowed him to pass on peacefully.
They not only supported him but provided the support to us as well. Their commitment and enthusiasm as well as the patience and genuine care exhibited in dealing with my dad, was simply god sent. Please continue with giving selflessly to all in need and know you are loved and valued for all that you are doing.
God bless all of you and we pray that you get the continued support to carrying making difference in the lives of your patients and their families.
