"COVID-19 has left an indelible mark on all of us, especially our vulnerable beneficiaries, children with chronic illnesses. The families of these children with compromised immunity have been challenged and stretched during this period. We are heartened to be selected as one of the beneficiaries of Amazon X Retail for Good," said Dr Sashikumar Ganapathy, President, Club Rainbow (Singapore).

"Through this meaningful initiative, we hope that members of the community can embrace this vulnerable group, with their much-needed care and support, as we move into the last quarter of 2020 before the children return to school in January. The items listed on our wishlist fulfill critical needs such as milk powder and diapers, as well as school supplies which would be useful when school reopens."
