Giveinstead.sg: Patrick’s 50th Birthday Fundraiser – A Gift of Play for Hope Orphanage Bali

In celebration of Patrick’s milestone 50th birthday, his best friends came together to contribute to a cause that is deeply meaningful to him. Patrick’s friends donated USD $10,000 to sponsor a Sporting Pitch for the children of Hope Childrenss Home Orphanage Bali, a place close to Patrick’s heart.

About Hope Childrens Home Orphanage Bali

Hope Orphanage Bali is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing environment for children in need. The orphanage offers shelter, education, and emotional support to vulnerable children who have been affected by various hardships, including poverty, abandonment, and loss. Located in Bali, the orphanage strives to create a loving and supportive community where these children can grow, learn, and build a brighter future.

Unfortunately, last August, the orphanage was devastated by a fire that destroyed much of its facilities. Since then, the children and the staff have faced incredibly difficult times. The orphanage is currently being rebuilt, and the children are staying in temporary shelters while they wait for their new home.

A Personal Connection to Hope Orphanage

Patrick has been a frequent visitor to Bali for many years and has developed a strong bond with the children and staff at Hope Childrens Home Orphanage. He has seen firsthand the challenges the children face but also the immense potential they have to achieve great things with the right support.

Football has always been a passion for Patrick, one he has cherished since childhood. He believes in the power of sport to bring people together, foster teamwork, and provide joy and purpose. For Patrick, this gift of a football field is more than just a way to celebrate his birthday—it’s about giving these children the chance to experience the joy and camaraderie of football, a sport that has brought so much happiness to his own life.

To celebrate his birthday and mark this special occasion, we organised a football tournament for 20 children from the orphanage. The children were treated to Pizza, Nasi Goreng, and ice cream, making for a fun and festive day. Each child received a special football shirt and shorts, and the winners of the tournament were awarded trophies, making the event even more memorable.

In an incredibly heartwarming moment, Patrick and his two young sons joined the tournament and played alongside the orphans. It was an afternoon filled with joy, camaraderie, and meaningful connections. Patrick and his sons had an incredibly fun and impactful time, playing side by side with the children, and it was a beautiful reminder of how sports can transcend boundaries and bring people together.

This football tournament brought smiles to the faces of children who have been through so much in recent months. The Noku Sports Field, named in honour of this effort, will serve as a symbol of hope and renewal. It will be a place where the children can come together, enjoy their favourite sport, and create lasting memories.

By sponsoring the Sporting Field, Patrick and his friends are not just contributing to a physical space; they are offering the children of Hope Childrens Home Orphanage e a place where they can come together, learn new skills, and most importantly, have fun. The field will give the children something to look forward to and a renewed sense of joy during a very challenging time. It’s more than just a field—it’s a beacon of hope, a reminder that even after hardship, there is always the possibility for renewal and happiness.

This thoughtful and generous gesture speaks to the core of what Giveinstead.sg stands for—transforming celebrations into opportunities for social good, turning birthdays and milestones into catalysts for positive change. 

We are proud to support Patrick’s 50th birthday fundraiser, and we look forward to seeing the smiles on the children’s faces as they enjoy their new football field. 

Thank you to everyone who contributed to this meaningful gift. It’s an inspiring reminder that when we choose to give instead, we can create lasting impact and truly make a difference in the lives of others.
