A netizen, Gilbert Goh, shared a heartbreaking photo depicting the forgotten and neglected members of our society.
Goh started a charity campaign to provide money and food for the poor and homeless in Singapore, and he chanced upon an elderly tissue seller.
Goh handed him an angbao and the uncle was so moved that he started crying.
Here is what Gilbert had to say:
“Shocked when this elderly tissue paper seller shed tears after passing him our angbao earlier today.
He is a regular peddler at the usual spot and there are many passer-by who supported him by buying his tissues or just drop him some small cash out of sympathy.
We sometimes passed him our free meals whenever we are distributing at that vicinity and he seems to be there 24/7 even late at night.
If you do pass by that area and see him peddling his tissues, why not support him by buying some?
Do something good for Singapore – a charity movement to alleviate the hardships of displaced elderly Singaporeans.”
