Think back to the people who helped shape the person you are today. Perhaps it was a teacher who refused to give up on you, a mentor who listened, or a friend who offered a steady hand when life felt overwhelming. We would not be where we are today without those who chose to believe in us.

For Tristan, a volunteer at Lakeside Family Services (Lakeside), remembering the support he received during his own childhood is what drives him to give back today. As a reader in Lakeside’s Reading Intervention Services, Tristan helps young children overcome their shyness, build essential literacy skills, and find the courage to read aloud with confidence.

But this is about more than just reading. This is about a beautiful, continuous cycle of giving. Through the kindness Tristan shares today, we hope the children he guides will one day carry that same spirit forward and, in turn, support others in need.

This is the heart of Lakeside’s Towards A Brave Future campaign.
By raising crucial funds for our children and youth programmes—including mentoring, childhood literacy, and student care—we provide the opportunities, guidance, and care that they need to build resilience, confidence, and hope for tomorrow.

Similar to Tristan, you too can play a part in changing the lives of children and youths. Give to our Towards a Brave Future or start a fundraiser, so more young people can receive the support they need to build a brave future: https://lakeside.org.sg/support-us/towards-a-brave-future/?utm_source=Facebook+&utm_medium=Social+&utm_campaign=RIS+Tristan&utm_content=RIS+Tristan
