SINGAPORE – More than $360,000 has been raised for the Filipino victims of the Dec 29 Lucky Plaza accident as the online arm of the fund-raiser closed at 12pm on Monday (Jan 6).
The Centre for Domestic Employees (CDE), together with the Domestic Employees Welfare Fund, collected $362,521 from 2,888 donors according to figures on fund-raising website Giving.sg in about a week.
This amount is more than double CDE’s funding target.
All proceeds in the online fund-raising campaign, which started last Monday at 7.45pm, will go directly towards the four injured maids and the beneficiaries of the two maids who died from their injuries after the accident.
Those looking to donate can still do so until Jan 18 by donating in person with cash, or by posting a cheque, to the CDE office at Lucky Plaza.
More details are available on the CDE website.
CDE chairman Yeo Guat Kwang said on Facebook last Friday that the centre decided to start receiving these “manual donations” on the same day after receiving feedback from the public.
