2 Caregiver Parents and 1 child with autism
2 volunteers
Circle meetings are in person. We will meet on the first friday of each month in the east of Singapore, from 8 pm-9.30 pm
Brenda wants her privacy to be respected and does not want any undue attention. Please contact Santosh at santosh@soulprobe.com if you wish to volunteer as a circle member or spend time with her son.
This Circle is about establishing bonds of friendship and providing social and emotional support. Over time, we have moved to "productively meaningful" activities such as yoga.

Helping caregiver to live healthily till 80 and finding volunteers for special needs child
Background
Brenda is the mother of a 21-year old boy, Yoel. Yoel graduated from his school two years ago. They live in the East of Singapore. Brenda is deeply appreciative for the life lessons that she was able to learn through the difficulties of raising an autistic child.
While she believes that her toughest days being a parent of an autistic child are over, she worries about what would happen to Yoel when she passes on. As a result, her main life goal is to live up to the age of 80 so that she can continue to care for her son. Mother and son enjoy cycling on their tandem bike when they can. She tells us that she always looks forward to our circle meetings. She enjoys the conversations that we have on Singapore affairs and the issues that our society faces at large every time we have our meeting.
Brenda is looking for volunteers who are patient and kind. Volunteers from any trade or profession are welcome.
IMMEDIATE NEEDS
IMMEDIATE NEEDS
Brenda's son has frequent constipation. Brenda is looking for help from someone who knows coffee enema, who can teach her and help her get started on administering it. If you have advice or recommendations on holistic practices that help Yoel deal with his constipation, please reach out to us.
