A Gift For Juita
Nur Ratna Juita was a vibrant and compassionate 15-year-old girl who adored young children and enjoyed capturing photos of clouds and skies. From a young age, she showed remarkable eagerness to learn. Whether as an energetic gymnast, graceful dancer, fearless silat athlete, or working during weekends at Overrun Ice Cream Café, she embodied diligence, determination, and passion.
Tragically, she passed away on August 12th, 2022 due to complications arising from illness while preparing for her ‘O’ level examinations and training for her first International Silat Competition, despite the best efforts of doctors.
Known for her selflessness and deep care for others, she initiated fundraising for Palestine at the tender age of seven by making and selling loom bands. Her efforts were highlighted on Mercy Relief’s Facebook page in July and August of 2014.
In honour of their beloved daughter, Juita's family is continuing her legacy of generosity by partnering with Mercy Relief to raise donations for Hope for Gaza, West Bank & Palestine Refugees Fund.
All donations received will go directly to Mercy Relief to provide critical humanitarian aid to children and families affected by the ongoing conflict in Gaza. To donate, please click on the link below.
A gift for Juita is a campaign organised by Nur Ratna Juita's family to remember and cherish her selfless and caring spirit. It was brought to our light that Juita at 7 years old took on an independent initiative to fundraise for Mercy Relief's aid efforts in Gaza back in 2014.
