At birth, fengze was diagnosed with Pierre Robin Syndrome, which causes breathing difficulties. When he was five, Fengze was diagnosed with autism.

Fengze requires his parents’ supervision to manage his daily routine, including brushing his teeth and getting dressed. As Fengze is unable to communicate verbally, caring for him can be challenging for his parents, especially when he falls sick. While he manages some of his daily activities like eating independently, Fengze requires constant care to ensure his safety. Hence, his concerned parents are looking into care plans for his future.

Through the Goh Chok Tong Enable Fund, Fengze’s parents were able to set up trust accounts with the Special Needs Trust Company and purchase a term plan which ensures the cost of Fengze’s future care will be covered.

Heartfelt Words from the Founder of Her Sanctuary

"The idea is to set up a Sanctuary, not a halfway house. A Sanctuary where we will help them to unpack, where they can have a place where we can build them up to be economically independent people.

We believe what changes a person is the support and environment we can provide.
