CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER’S Message

RMHC Hong Kong CEO Dr. Francesca Sin

How lovely it is to welcome you all to this truly special evening. This year marks a momentous milestone of 50 years of operation and service for RMHC Global. It is such an honor to have you here with us as we reflect on the dream that started it all and the enduring vision that continues to inspire us. RMHC keeps families together by providing a ‘home away from home’ close to the critical care their sick child needs. More than just a place to stay, our Houses provide psychosocial support and resources, educational activities and programs, as well as a safe and nurturing environment. By surrounding children with love, RMHC helps them heal, dream, and spread their wings. This is why we have chosen “Let the Dream Fly” as the theme for our Gala Dinner this year: We have a dream too, and that is to ensure that no dream is out of reach for the children we serve. This itself is a monumental aspiration that requires not just all of us but a collective effort from every corner of our community. The bigger the dream, the more talent we need to make it a reality. We are actively expanding our team, recruiting professionals from diverse fields to enhance our capabilities. This strategic growth will allow us to deliver a broader range of services to address the evolving needs of families—whether it is through infrastructure and facilities or comprehensive mental, social, and emotional support. All of us on our team yearn to use our knowledge and skills to make a genuine difference. Together we will develop more programs that not only serve our current families but also extend continuity of care to former House residents.

care. We are dedicated to ensuring that, when a child is ill, the entire family receives the comfort and support they need and is actively involved in their child’s care alongside healthcare providers. We will continue to collaborate with various stakeholders to advocate for family-centered care in the medical network, creating more support for this pivotal, values-based approach. In addition, we are focused on integrating family-centered care into every aspect of our facilities, services, and programs to empower families and help them navigate the challenges of illness together. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our Gala Committee for their dedicated efforts; all of the sponsors for your unfailing support who are making this event a roaring success. My special vote of thanks also goes to our special guests for your splendid performance tonight. As we look ahead to the future, we are filled with anticipation and hope, eager to continue working alongside our incredible partners to extend our impact and reach even more families with ill children. Together, let us turn our aspirations into achievements and let every child’s dream soar!

As this cherished dream takes flight, we remain grounded in our philosophy of family-centered
