Alhamdulillah. Another event so close to my heart.
And Performances by Final 1 contestants? Woohoo! Awesome!
On the eve of this coming Mother's day, there will be a fund raising event for the Single Moms of Singapore. And I am grateful to be one of the featured guest.
Intention:
The purpose of this event is to appreciate, acknowledge and help single mothers who are having trouble making ends meet. This fundraiser event is also to be held in conjunction with Mothers’ Day celebrations. We want to raise awareness of the trials and tribulations and raise funds to help them get by. It is also a celebration of mothers and their hard work bringing up their children while making a decent living.
These gorgeous ladies are very young but they have such big hearts to contribute to the society. This major project is spear headed by a phenomenal gutsy lady named Hilda. I admired their passion and dedication in doing this.
The vision mission:
We are a group of passionate and dedicated friends that has come together to form a new community called The Women Squad. We have a passion in helping and inspiring women all around Singapore and the World to speak for themselves, to love themselves unconditionally and in turn to inspire each other with their successes and even unsuccessful attempts in life.
“If we could change ourselves, the tendencies in the world would also change. As a man changes his own nature, so does the attitude of the world change towards him. ... We need not wait to see what others do.” -Gandhi
They believed I am an inspiring figure (Alhamdulillah thank u!), interviewed me and filmed me on video for that eventful day.
Some of the questions were...
Q: Who are you?

Q: What are your struggles?
Beginning...it was almost everything. But of course all that I faced are actually from within and so once I found out the cause of it, I focus on self n personal development.
Q: How are things going so far?
Alhamdulillah. God is great. Whatever I need, it somehow appears and the strangers that I met be it coaches, mentors n acquaintances have all been amazing to me. Everyone I met has a key for me to unlock life's amazing lessons.

Q. Motivational words to other single moms:
No one can accept you if you yourself cannot accept your own self being. Everything happens for a reason and has a blessing behind it. Love yourself first n the world will benefit from your own loving. Each and everyone of us are awesome in being ourselves. Believe that and be comfy in your own skin. Everyone deserve the bestest in life, go for it!
Q. Dedication to your own mom:
Thank you Mom, for going against the tide to help me. Thank you for supporting me even though my ways might be different and crazy most times. Its very challenging for you to root me to the ground and give me endless encouragement...but u are always there in spite of all that. No words can express my gratitude. But I'm thankful that you are my mom, my bestest friend, my soulmate.
