Giving Up My Life Savings To Build An Orphanage

How much would you give up to help others in need? Thomas gave up everything to build an orphanage - from his house and business, to gold jewellery and watches. The journey has been lonely at times, but it has given him the most meaning in life.

Idk why but im so proud of him, giving up his luxury lifestyle must be a hard thing to do. But its true with all the money that you have where can you go? Rather than spend on something unnessary, spend on someone who really need the most. If youre reading this, im proud of u sir 😊👏👏

When you have money, cars and property, your wealth can be measured. This man's wealth for sure surpasses all measurements

[@leowalan5463]

No measuremable means can measure his wealth

[@joelchoy6056]

Truly a man of God. He may not have many materials possessions on this world now, but he has secured his treasures in heaven by living a life of service and servanthood for others.

[@Gnaixwh]

Happiest man on earth.

[@AndrewTube]

his statement " that i am only an instrument to help others" shows how humble he is

[@johnchua1087]

Beautiful story and wonderful man with a kind heart. God bless him.

[@ReboundwithResilience]

indeed!

[@AndrewTube]

I am a singaporean and I have a dream to do something just like this (albeit around upliftment and education). This uncle is my hero!

[@zixianchen9901]

All the best in your pursuit!

[@qyu...976]

Don't just dream go for it step by step✌🏼😊

[@amandac3658]

actually brought tears to my eyes. riches in heaven for a man like him

[@georgiegan]

Not many people would willingly give up their wealth to help others. Even for family members, people will be calculative when it comes to money. This uncle is one of the few people who realises that there is more to life than just hoarding money and that resources should be used to help others, rather than to keep it for yourself.

[@lingsu-gmail9221]

So heartwarming to see him on OCS and that he still persist on despite so many challenges and given his age. Immeasurable love for the little ones! He was featured on ChU documentary back in 2015 and i got in touch with him to pass him some donations to send to Philippines. Time to pay him a visit again :)

[@egypt4214]

Very honorable people

[@dinghao3107]

Thank you for sharing this. Even though they think you aren't rich, your heart is filled with kindness and warmth wealth cannot buy

[@fredaj3847]

I read abt him in the reader digest magazine, Dec 2019 edition. May God continue to bless him & his volunteers.

[@qyu...976]

Oh i ❤ this kind man the way he's thinking. The way he's doing and said is tottaly right and i agree with him. Nice hearted and peaceful man😊

[@Aki-yn4pg]

It is not how much you give but how much you have left for yourself. Truly an angel that lights up the life of those in destitute and delivers hope. Thomas bro, I salute you! 👍🏻

You should look up Chuck Feeney

[@bell2353]

Yes if all wealthy people think this way there will have peace on earth. True is rich people want to be richer.

[@Naomisings]

This man inspires me ❤ Gos bless this man and all the others out there building orphanages ❤

[@belenli9057]

[@willyhuang4026]

God bless this mighty man and her mighty maid.

[@Tinizebrat]

this is beautiful...

[@bisaboleh]

Awesome story.. Yes ask ourselves why we keep hoarding our money.. For our children? Better to set an example of giving.

[@wangliu7034]

God bless you Sir. James 1:27. “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.”

[@qiteindashenggreatsage3621]

Mad respect!!!

[@candeliasee6064]

Great soul and man… live a meaningful life 🙏🏻😊

[@cnachopchopnewsagency]

Wow he actually before this have hotelS, carS and RolexES but he sold all for charity objective. Salute uncle! Can you imagine how rich he was..woww

[@lindachua9282]

Big Heart😊 Please support him!

[@dchanbrothers6868]

People who have a big heart can do this, god has a reason for him… this is one of my dream not just to help an orphanage but to have atleast one. I hope god will give me that power to save children who comes from an abusive family. Strong countries who fights with guns and war are inhumanity. Find your reason why we exist not for the money and any material things but to help others who are helpless indeed…

[@BetsyParadise]

This is very selfless.. a true act of kindness and love. I dream of doing the same thing! You inspire us in so many ways sir. Material possessions are nothing but just that, it shouldn't be the basis of our being nor how we should treat others. It's true that whatever we have isn't ours in the first place; so why seek things that are not ours? Instead give, let those things move freely to you and it will come back in many ways than one :)

[@pekkimtee463]

Thumbs up !!

[@BabyDingo]

God bless you sir!

[@HUProductionist]

Thank you

[@sillybearss]

How this man has demonstrated a great love! “Let us remember that love lives through sacrifice and is nourished by giving. Let’s remember that not everything which is good and beautiful pertains to genuine, essential love, because even without those other things love can be present, indeed a perfected love. Without sacrifice there is no love. Sacrifice the senses, taste, hearing, and above all, the mind and the will in holy obedience. I wish for you and for myself the best appreciation of sacrifice which is the unconditional willingness to sacrifice.” - St. Maximilian Kolbe

[@rivvie2008]

Wow. Wow. You got my respect, uncle.

[@jerrodtham]

God bless you 🙏🙏🙏

[@erwinerwin2784]

Wow He sacrificed all his savings from hotel till rolex? Salute 👍

Actually many singaporeans are always deprived of many things in life. Some parents are not well off to send their children for further studies. It would be best to start charity at home.

[@bell2353]

Everyone called to serve is different. If you feel call to serve you can start one that serve local poor or contribute to organisation that is giving free tuition to low income students. My S1 boy used to tuition P6 boy in an organisation in Toa Payoh. Let your heart lead you.
