Christmas came alive at Assisi Hospice on 28 November, filling our grounds with joy, laughter and heartwarming moments. Our patients and their loved ones were greeted by our adorable Minion and cheerful Snowman mascot, spreading festive fun from the very start.

The evening started with two beautiful performances β€” a graceful ballet showcase by Singapore Ballet Academy, and a touching song by the talented hearing-impaired children from One Heart One Voice, whose courage and harmony moved us deeply.

Our very own Senior Boleh Chimes Choir X Golden Beats formed by our patients and AH MAH Choir formed by staff of Assisi Hospice and Mount Alvernia Hospital, lit up the stage with energy, rhythm and Christmas spirit.

As the evening became dark, the sky burst into colour with fireworks, followed by the grand lighting of our Christmas trees.

A huge thank you to all our performers, staff, and dedicated volunteers from Cloudera, whose support and love made this magical Christmas celebration possible for our patients. πŸ’™

A shoutout to .sg with thanks for delighting us with their special curated Christmas drinks.

If you had ever taken bus 151 through Hougang to your schools, you might have met 65 year-old Mr Yeo Kok Hoong, your friendly bus captain who had been driving this same route for over 30 years. Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Mr Yeo moved to Singapore in his 30s and worked as a bus driver. His long days often began as early as 5 am or ended as late as 2 am, working six days a week. Living in a rented flat with his fellow bus drivers, Mr Yeo found joy in simple pleasures, especially cooking favourite dishes like Hokkien Mee and ginger chicken for his flat mates on his days off.

In 2024, Mr Yeo was diagnosed with lung cancer. He bravely underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy, but by the end of the year, the cancer had spread to his brain. As he was single and his siblings were in Malaysia, he faced his illness mostly alone. His close friends here were fellow bus drivers who were also busy with their work.

When he came under the care of Assisi Hospice in April 2025, his worries were many. He was anxious about his declining health and uncertain about who would care for him. Financial concerns weighed heavily after he had to stop working. Our doctors and nurses provided him with round-the-clock care to manage his symptoms, and our medical social worker helped him to apply for financial aid and assured him of his care. He came under our No One Dies Alone (NODA) programme, and our volunteers became his friends. They brought light and companionship to his days, understanding his love of food and organising a small gathering with his favourite hawker delights. The weekly Food Buddy programme ensured his cravings were met, with volunteers delivering the dishes he longed for.

On 21 August 2025, Mr Yeo passed away peacefully at Assisi Hospice. True to the spirit of NODA, volunteers stayed by his bedside, offering comfort and companionship until his final moments.

This Christmas, bring care, comfort, and friendship to patients like Mr Yeo who face their final journey with courage but need a community to walk beside them. Donate at https://tinyurl.com/assisichristmas2025.

From carefully whisking and whipping to layering the savoiardi, our patients were fully focused on creating the perfect dessert during the tiramisu making workshop – Mdm Kee even stood up from her wheelchair when she was whipping the egg whites to ensure that she got the texture just right! And when the tiramisu was finally done? The joy on everyone’s faces said it all – nothing beats that sweet moment of success! πŸŽ‰ A big thank you to the IWG Singapore for making the workshop engaging and fun, and for bringing a little Italian flair to our patients!

When our patient Mr Mohammad was asked about his golf experience, he chuckled and cheekily replied, β€œOf course! I used to go to Warren Golf & Country Club all the time!”

He reminisced about his childhood, when he and his friends would sneak into the club - not to play golf, but to collect lost golf balls from the ponds! They would use the balls for a giant game of Goli, substituting them for marbles. Of course, the golfers would often shout at them to get off the course when they saw the kids hanging out by the pond!

Fast forward to today, and Mr Mohammad had the chance to try golfing at Assisi Hospice, excited to give putting a go!

A big thank you to Josephine & her Golf Volunteers for organising this fun activity and tailoring it to our patients’ needs. The adapted equipment and setup, especially the custom shortened putter for wheelchair-bound patients, made sure everyone could join in and have a blast. Your thoughtfulness truly made this experience special.

This Deepavali, our Day Care patients brought their creativity to life by combining vibrant Rangoli designs with the symbolism of banana leaves. With the support of CPF staff, they had fun using coloured rice and banana leaves to create beautiful decorations that truly captured the festive spirit.

A big thank you to the CPF team for sharing these special moments with our patients and making this Deepavali brighter. πŸ’–

From spotting a massive wetland crocodile resting under a bridge to discovering hidden creatures, excitement filled the air as our Day Care patients embarked on their very first adventure to Rainforest Wild Asia – the newest attraction at Mandai Wildlife Reserve. Accompanied by the incredible Sembcorp staff and supported by oxygen concentrators (for some), our patients explored this breathtaking zoological park along the elevated walkway in their wheelchairs, soaking in stunning views of the lush canopy. They relished every moment as they searched for animals like Malayan tigers, Francois' langurs, and Malayan sun bears in their natural habitats.

Passing by the 220-metre long cave where Blackpink’s Jisoo filmed her music video recently was a starry surprise for the K-Pop fans!

A heartfelt thank you to Sembcorp for making this unforgettable adventure possible and bringing so much joy to our patients!

Forget boring old photo booths! Our Day Care patients just levelled up their reminiscence group session with a quirky twist β€” a "photo booth" that spits out charming, hand-drawn caricature strips!

This quirky activity is part of our photography-themed reminiscence group, where patients not only reflect on memories from the past but also see how much the world has changed, and how much they still have to offer.

These sessions celebrate their stories, experiences, and personhood β€” a reminder that illness is just one chapter in their rich and meaningful life journey. πŸ’–

A huge, heartfelt thank you to caricaturist Faizal at Caricature Fun for bringing the smiles and laughter to Assisi with your creative booth! You’ve helped create memories that matter. πŸ™ŒπŸ–ŒοΈ
