A family in Punggol will now have a refurbished home, all thanks to the kindness of some Singaporeans. 

On Monday (April 1) Punggol West MP Sun Xueling took to her Facebook page to share an encounter she had with nine-year-old Ayden. 

"He does not know why his parents have come to see me at [ the meet-the-people session] but he tells me he loves his four-year-old sister very much and he sleeps on the floor so she can share the bed with their parents," Sun wrote. 

"I am so touched by his words. He is such a lovely child." 

Sun's post received several comments from kind members of the public offering to help get a bed for Ayden.

"Thank you so much for your generosity,” she wrote.   

On Wednesday, Sun said in a second post that Punggol West SMC would be purchasing a sofa bed for Ayden, and will be providing some financial assistance to his family. 

In the same post, she asked for members of the public to donate other household items to help the family - which included a study table and chair, a storage cabinet, a TV and two standing fans. 

She also shared some photos of the family's flat, adding that they were using a baby cot and a standing fan borrowed from a social worker.
