In order for Miss Norris to be discharged and go back to her own home, the protem DP must put together a plan for homecare.
One of the items of this plan is the one-off expenditure in the form of :
1. Home Modifications ( eg ramps, anti-slip flooring etc); and
2. Home Equipment ( eg adjustable bed, wheelchair, day chair, physio therapy exercise equipment and supplies of medical equipment eg feeding tubes, catheters etc)
The protem DP estimates that items 1 and 2 will cost up to SGD50,000.00. Whilst our role is not primarily to go out publicly to raise funds for Miss Norris, these are the 2 items which need immediate solution.Th ere is also the on-going medical and home care which is still being estimated.
Many of you have generously offered financial assistance in your emails. Whilst the protem Deputy Panel is awaiting court appointment ( which will take 6 to 8 weeks) , Miss Julie Hoo, Principal RGS (Secondary) has kindly offered to assist in facilitating fund-raising. The school will set up a special sub account called “FREINDS OF MISS NORRIS” for this purpose. This account is kept within the school fund and is where all gifts for Miss Norris’ care will go.
We hope to have enough funds to allow us to get her house ready for her return, at the same time as the court application is underway. When appropriate, the DP will post a complete set of accounts detailing the receipt and expenditure. Utilisation of fund will be authorised by any 2 of the 3 authorised signatories from the DP and counter-signed by one of the Deputy Principals of RGS.
To contribute to the fund, cheques should be addressed to “Raffles Girls’ School (Secondary)“.
Please write on the back of the cheque:
- “FRIENDS OF MISS NORRIS”,
- Your name,
- Your class in RGS,
- Your address/email/phone number.
If you are in touch with your classmates, you could gather your class together to donate in a group. You may post this cheque to the school at:
Raffles Girls School
