【The S.K.H. Act of Love 1126 Fire Disaster Support Fund】
All donations to the S.K.H. Act of Love 1126 Fire Disaster Support Fund, launched by the Welfare Council, will be used to support those affected by the Wang Fuk Court fire. As of December 9, the Welfare Council has raised approximately HKD 21.4 million. In the first phase, emergency cash has been distributed to 1,715 affected households, with each household receiving HKD 5,000 to address their immediate needs. The Welfare Council will continue to process the remaining cases. At the same time, more assistance will be provided to other groups, such as the deceased and the injured, with further details to be announced later.
In addition to distributing financial aid, from November 26 to 28, the Welfare Council set up a 24-hour emergency community support station at H.K.S.K.H. The Church of Our Saviour Social Service Centre - Jockey Club Family Express, providing temporary shelter for affected families and ensuring their basic needs, providing a rest space, drinking water and light refreshments. A total of 197 people were served over the three days.
Furthermore, from November 26 to December 9, the Welfare Council also provided various services to those affected by the disaster, such as funeral consultation or support (families of 57 deceased individuals), psychological support for trauma and stress (over 2,070 attendees), medication management (about 400 attendees), mobile medical stations (over 690 attendees), and the S.K.H. Act of Love 1126 Fire Disaster Support Hotline (over 1,580 calls).
Rebuilding a new life is a long process. The Welfare Council will plan relevant services according to the residents’ specific and medium- or long-term needs, and will make further announcements via our social media.
We extend our sincere gratitude once more for your ongoing support and interest in the fund.
