Started volunteering at 16

Issue of hoarding getting worse

Paying it forward is a lifelong quest

When the helper is being helped

 Fion Phua, founder of volunteer platform Keeping Hope Alive, has been volunteering since she was 16. For more than 40 years, she's witnessed severe cases of hoarding, including one where someone hoarded toilet paper. But she doesn’t tell the people she meets she’s there to lend a hand – instead, she asks them to help her be useful. She shares her story with Joel Chua.
