We have just given away our 10th mattress under the “Free Mattress Program” to a single parent of 2 teenage kids, whose mattress are infected by bedbugs and could not afford to buy one.

Below, is the story of the applicant

“I’m a single parent with 2 growing up kids and working as a executive in an institute. My take home salary after CPF deduction is $1,356 only. My daughter, 19 years old has been trying to look for job but to no avail and my son, 18 years old is still studying in ITE. Its very difficult to make ends meet with such a take home salary. Recently I discover there’s bed bugs on my bed and have sprayed insecticides as recommended by some friends but it don’t really help. Just yesterday I discover that the head board is infested with it too. So, immediate with my son’s help we get rid the head board. 2 hours later we still saw some bed bugs coming out from the mattress too. Now I’m so scared to sleep on my bed and instead I sleep on the floor”
