Our Story
Helping Joy began in 17th January 2012
Founded by Steven Goh, Helping Joy was inspired by a simple yet heartfelt encounter when an elderly lady seeking his help to declutter her home. That moment moved him deeply, prompting him, as a young and able-bodied man, to reflect on how he could bring lasting and meaningful change to the lives of others.
Together with a few friends and volunteers...
He identified an unfulfilled need in the community: there were many individuals who, whether because of physical or mental disability, were living in cluttered, unhealthy conditions, and needed help to restore their homes to a healthy state.
And so the work began, one home at a time.
Each home was cleared and cleaned and, if needed, maintained on a monthly basis. Steven’s unique blend of energy and appreciation for support led to a dynamic growth, both of community commitment to the cause and growing requests from the needy
Today, Helping Joy continues to bring joy to more homes. ♡
With the generous support of our donors and dedicated volunteers, we are able to extend greater resources and compassionate care to individuals in our community living with hoarding disorders and similar conditions, fostering hope, dignity, and joy in their lives.
Our Social Structure
Key projects under the Helping Joy’s social initiative
Act of Kindness is a social initiative that supports charitable homes by fulfilling their wish lists, including elderly care homes, orphanages, and nursing homes. We also assist low-income families with essential needs such as medical bills, medical escort service fees, tuition fees, bed bug fumigation, and handyman services for electrical or plumbing issues.
A fun, inspiring, and uplifting place where individuals of all ages and backgrounds come together to experience social integration, discover personal purpose, build lasting friendships, and make a meaningful impact in our shared community. Here, every moment is an opportunity to share joy, cultivate compassion, and grow together in a supportive and welcoming environment.
An innovative, impactful and transformative app built on the 3R’s; Recycle, Re-purpose, and Re-use, that enables donors to give based on the real needs of beneficiaries, while connecting charitable organisations, companies, and individuals to collectively uplift underprivileged communities and promote a more sustainable, caring society.
