Fund Raising Goal
Father Law Home was founded in 1954. Mr Bing Shim Seeto was one of the founders and manager when he was the president of the St Vincent de Paul Society in Suva. The St Vincent de Paul Society raised the necessary funds by having movie nights in the crypt of the Suva Cathedral and from the Chinese Community in Fiji.
Mr Seeto served for many years as secretary and later as chairman of the Kuomingtang Fiji branch. At the time the Father Law Home was founded, the primary purpose was to house homeless elderly Chinese who had no other means of support.
Father Law Home is now an aged-care facility for men and women who have nowhere else to live, and primarily funded by the kind donations of individuals and community groups.
The Home is currently short of cashflow and in great need of financial donations to help fund their carers’ salaries, pay their bills and buy food and hygiene products for their residents, along with other operating expenses.
Any amount you can spare would be greatly appreciated. We thank you in advance for any donation you can spare for their home, residents and hard working staff.
Donations over $2 made through this FijiLIFE Foundation website by Australian residents are tax deductible.
