John is now seriously very ill, and is in his last throes, and as a UK citizen he does not get any subsidy from the Singapore government and he needs help with this medication and hospital fees.
A friend of his has agreed to be guarantor but with a SGD $25000 and rising hospital bill chalked up, he has reached out to us for help. We, as his friends who have had the good fortune to work with him, will always remember and respect this great artiste.
We would like to invite you to come and join us in pitching in the best you can to honour and celebrate John’s life works by helping him to overcome this very difficult time! Hoping to count on your compassion and generosity!!
