Every Lunar New Year red packets are passed down from one generation to the next. Carrying with it hopes for good fortune, happiness and protection. Here at Guide Dogs Singapore, we're doubling up on the meanings associated with our red packets.
This year, we are ushering in the New Year through our collaboration with Khairudin, an aspiring guide dog user living with glaucoma, to design a special red packet for the festive season.
Despite the challenges, his passion for art shines through, pursuing it confidently with the support of Guide Dogs Singapore.
A Message from Khairudin
“I’m honoured that my artwork was chosen for this year’s angpao design. Losing my sight gradually in 2025 due to glaucoma has been challenging, but with GDS training, I’ve regained confidence and continue to pursue my hobbies.
Your support brings me closer to my dream of becoming a guide dog user. Thank you for sharing your blessings this Lunar New Year, and giving me the chance to live independently and keep doing what I love.”
