My name is Viki. I am 37 years old this year. I was born with a medical condition called Spina Bifida which prevents me from walking and cause me to suffer from incontinence as well. Singapore Cheshire Home (SCH) has been my home since the age of 13, making me one of the youngest residents to be admitted. I practically grew up in SCH, having spent more than half my life here where I completed my formal education and started working.
When I see other people with similar conditions who are successful and able to contribute to society, I tell myself, “One day I want to be able to find my own success”.
I am very thankful to the Home for the support and opportunities given to me thus far. It is my childhood dream to work for DreamWorks. Last year, I was offered a diploma course in Animation and Game Design at Raffles Design College (RDC) which I completed in October 2024. For this, I am very grateful to our Council Member, Mrs Ng Siew Mun and RDC for their generous sponsorship of the diploma course. My next phase is to find a job in this field and to be financially independent so that I can get my own home in the future.
