My Instagram friend Ling (@tinypinc) was inspired by the news of the movement called #benderaputih (white flag) on social media to raise funds for Malaysian food banks that will support people in need of food. The movement was started by Malaysians for those in need of food and other essentials. It encourages affected families to hang a white flag or cloth in front of their homes so that neighbours can render immediate assistance.
Ling made miniature rainbows in the form of keychains or earrings to raise funds for this cause.
Ling is in Malaysia, so the shipping time will not be immediate. This is considered a pre-order. I collated orders to reduce carbon footprint :)
For the miniatures, RM 15 is to cover her materials and costs, and RM 20 will be donated directly to the food banks. (I'm transferring 100% of the amount to Ling and not taking any commission!)
I have pre-paid for some rainbow keychains so that you can continue to support this cause after the fundraiser ends. I have already made the donations for them.
Update: Together, we raised 1000 SGD!
That's 3072.18 RM:
2652.18 RM cash donations and 12 item orders!
From 12 rainbow keychains / earrings ordered for a total of 420 RM, 240 RM will be donated directly to food banks.
The total cash donated to food banks will be 2877.18 RM!
Thank you so much for supporting this fundraiser!
