Lunar New Year Appeal 2024
A Long-Awaited Reunion
期盼已久的团聚
(1 February 2024 – 31 March 2023)
Lunar New Year is a season for reunions – for Jun Jie*, his journey towards homecoming was found through redemption, resilience and hard work.
Growing up, Jun Jie had a difficult relationship with his family. He was drawn to negative peer influences as they gave him a sense of belonging and security, leading to aggression, gang involvement and stealing. When he first entered Boys’ Town Residential Services, he struggled with understanding himself, often had behavioural issues, and was unwilling to talk to his family.
Over time, Jun Jie built good relationships with the Boys’ Town youth workers and started sharing his worries and desires for the future. He found an interest in music and learned how to manage his emotions and frustrations better. With his good progress and hard work at Boys’ Town, Jun Jie’s relationship with his family also improved, and they hope to finally go for a family trip soon.
“I have been blessed by the care and concern of Boys’ Town staff and my family’s constant support. Thank you for encouraging me and helping me improve through difficult times.”
Boys’ Town Residential Services helps boys like Jun Jie transform, gain acceptance and reunite with their families. This Lunar New Year, we seek your generosity and kind support in our work serving children and youth in need.
农历新年被誉为团圆的时刻,对俊杰*而言,这是他通过不懈努力和自我谅解之后,迎来回家之旅的时刻。
在成长过程中,俊杰与家人的关系十分紧张,导致他感到缺乏归属感和安全感。由于这种缺失,他与不良同伴建立联系,寻求他们的支持。在这个过程中,俊杰不可避免地陷入了暴力和偷窃的行为,甚至加入了黑帮活动。初次踏入儿童城寄宿服务时,他的情绪并不稳定以及难以有效地调节自己。他经常表现出行为方面的问题,同时也表现出对与家人沟通的抗拒。
随着时光的流逝,俊杰与儿童城的青年工作者渐渐建立了亲密的关系,开始坦诚地分享他的烦恼和对未来的期望。他对音乐产生了浓厚的兴趣,学会了更有效地管理自己的情绪和应对生活中的挫折。在儿童城的辅导和自身努力下,俊杰取得了显著的进步,同时他与家人的关系也得到了明显的改善。他们期待着未来早日能够一家人共同享受一次愉快的旅行。
“我感到很幸运能够得到儿童城员工们温暖的关怀和耐心的指导,同时也感激家人们一直以来的支持。在我面临困境的时候,感谢你们给予的鼓励和帮助。”
儿童城寄宿服务致力于帮助像俊杰一样的孩子们获得正面的转变,以取得家人的接纳和实现家庭团聚。在即将到来的农历新年里,我们真诚地请求您慷慨的捐助来支持我们的工作,为需要帮助的儿童和青少年提供支持与关怀。
May you and your loved ones enjoy a New Year filled with love, blessings and good health!
祝您与您的亲人在新的一年里享受充实的爱,丰富的祝福,身体健康!
